You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do. -Henry Ford
Whether you are a Guru or a Newb, how you compare to your
peers makes all the difference. I am
often asked for referrals. Anything from
recommending a good mechanic to a medical specialist, people want to go to
someone they trust or whom they are recommended to. In the insurance industry this is no
exception. We receive word of mouth referrals
as part of our bread and butter. But
what about when you are looking for looking for trusted content or professional
advice online. When making a quote for a client do you leave your decision
making up to the “Google Gods”? Do you
know who to trust? CompleteMarkets offers its members the ability to build
reputations based on a number of options.
The higher your reputation scores the better level of trust or expertise
you are likely to have. If your
reputation is a 3 and a fellow competitor has a score of 1100 your customer is
likely to trust the advice of the latter.
So how do I build my reputation?
At CompleteMarkets there are several ways to handle this
task.
1. Add a
photo.
2.
Complete your profile.
3.
Post a discussion topic.
4.
Write a Blog.
5.
Invite people to your network.
6.
Write an Article.
As you can see it is easy to build your reputation. It takes two minutes to put up a profile
picture. It doesn't even have to be a
photo of yourself but maybe your agency’s logo.
Filling out your profile let’s prospective clients learn more about
you. Just these two additions can make
the difference between someone thinking you’re active in the industry to
someone who may have visited CompleteMarkets once and then left without
deleting the profile.
