7 Simple Techniques You Should Be Using to Build Trust Online | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

When it comes to conducting business online, trust is one of the scarcest and hardest-to-earn resources. No amount of money can purchase it, and it’s incredibly difficult to replace once it has been lost.

Everyone needs to check thier on line reputation on a regular basis before it becomes a crisis. 

Melanie Leszcynski's curator insight, December 10, 2014 11:10 AM

I like this article a lot because it shows a helpful step by step way to better understand your company's reputation on the internet. You'll be able to track whatever your typical computer user would see when searching for your company or things related to your company. Tracking these types of topics manually can save you money if you're a small business trying to make your reputation better tailored to your consumers. Larger companies may pay someone else to do it, however, it could also be a good way for large companies to check and make sure whichever third party they're using is doing their job in the best interest of your company.

Lessons Learned from CEO's Painful Email Meltdown

Lessons Learned from CEO's Painful Email Meltdown | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

It's the golden rule and the core of all communications etiquette: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything. On Tuesday, Kelly Blazek, who runs the Cleveland Job Bank, learned that lesson the hard way when her email smackdown of a young job seeker named Diana Mekota, who contacted her through LinkedIn, went viral.


"Love the sense of entitlement in your generation. And therefore I enjoy denying your invite," read Blazek's poison pen letter, in part. "You're welcome for your humility lesson of the year. Don't ever reach out to senior practitioners again and assume their carefully curated list of connections is available to you, just because you want to build your network."


Mekota posted the complete email on Reddit, Imgur, and Facebook, along with these comments: "Guess us twenty somethings should bow down to senior professional because clearly we have nothing to offer," and "Let's call this lady out." From there, it was like a torch thrown into a desert of parched tumbleweeds...

What reasonable CEO would respond in such a mean-spirited way to a young student looking for a job? Obviously, on LinkedIn all she had to do was delete the request. To go farther was just incomprehensible. As reported later in the story this was not the first instance her insensitivity. What a tinpot despot!

Vicky Dobbin's curator insight, March 1, 2014 12:54 PM

Add to the fact that she didn't realize the bitchy response would be shared, and I'd call her incompetent.

PR Debate: Should Brands Take Social/Political Stances? New Study from Field Agent - Bulldog Reporter

PR Debate: Should Brands Take Social/Political Stances? New Study from Field Agent - Bulldog Reporter | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

“Many companies are showing greater willingness to take public stances on controversial issues,” said West. “While the vast majority of consumers in our study said they are likely to purchase from companies they agree with, only 3 in 10 have actually done so.


This makes me think consumer behavior hasn’t quite caught up to this new environment in which companies take stands on controversial topics.”


But the risk is evident—and ultimately begs the question: From a company perspective, is it worth it?


“The overwhelming majority of consumers in our study agreed they are more likely to buy from companies they see eye to eye with, and almost half of consumers said they had already stopped buying from a company over a difference of opinion. This tells me that consumers are willing to vote with their dollars,” said West. “But there may be more danger for many companies than opportunity—especially if you serve, as most companies do, a market with diverse political views.”...
