I think most people would agree the Internet is certainly one of the greatest inventions of all time. No doubt about it. But like most good things, there is also a “dark side” no one wants to talk about.

Here’s what I mean…

One of the cool things about the Internet is the freedom to express yourself. You can say pretty much whatever you want, whenever you want.

Certainly makes for some interesting reading!

But what if that trash talkin’ is about YOU or your company? What if it is not even true? Totally made up?  Just one negative comment can cost your business thousands and thousands of dollars in lost revenue. And what about your ruined reputation? The money it could cost your business could be enormous!

Here is what the famed Warren Buffett had to say about it…

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation
and just 5 minutes to ruin it.”

The really frustrating thing is, even if it isn’t true, you won’t be able to get it erased. Seriously, it is there for all to see FOREVER!

While you just can’t push a button or make a telephone call and get negative comments erased, you can take action to minimize the damages to your company or name.

It is important to understand the solution takes time. Repairing a reputation is a slow process. But with a constant focus on making sure your company is seen as the “good guy”, the negative comments will eventually get pushed to the bottom of the pile where your customers or clients won’t see them. Or won’t care because there are so many favorable reviews about you and your business.
