Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

With countless stories of corporations and government agencies being faced with negative reputation stories online, Don Sorensen, CEO and founder of online reputation management firm Big Blue Robot, today released guidelines for corporations dealing with reputation management issues.

Creating and maintaining a positive online reputation requires more than simply delegating the task to the marketing department. The truth is far from that, says Sorensen. Reputation management is about more than the messaging that the marketing department puts together. Its about controlling the way your company name is used online, in what context, andespeciallyhow a search engine results page (SERP) looks when a customer Googles your company or brand name. Your customers ability to trust your organization is imperative.

In the 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer? survey, it was discovered that trust acts as a powerful protective barrier against crises. The study stated that the need for repetition is greatly influenced by trust: a trusted companys good news is believed much more quickly (1-2 repetitions) than the good news of a distrusted one. Figures are reversed for bad news. It also found that search engines rank No. 1 as the place people go first for information about a company. (Edelman’s 2011 Trust Barometer?, the firms 11th annual survey, gauges attitudes about the state of trust in business, government, NGOs and media across 23 countries.)

Search engines can make or break a company, comments Sorensen. A companys online reputation needs to be taken seriously and given the time and attention it deserves. It is important to gain the trust of customers. So what is online reputation management, and how do corporate executives take charge? Sorensen outlines how companies can protect their online reputation.

Monitor

Sorensen encourages corporate executives to use tools that will monitor the web, like Google Alerts, for company mentions as well as links to corporate websites. Short of outright slander or libel by the reviewers online, executives really dont have much legal recourse to make the negative postings go away. People have a right to complain, and these days its all too easy for unhappy customers to vent their frustrations and share their opinions with the whole world. says Sorensen.

Start with the Small Stuff

Many corporate executives continue to put off proactive reputation management because they dont know where to begin. Sorensen advises to start with the small things. Create social profiles, and buy domain variations of your company name. Start with the little things that will help provide a solid base for the rest of your strategy.

What is the course of action when you do find negative comments and stories? When you find negative mentions of your company online, focus on them right away, counsels Sorensen. It doesnt matter if the site is small or if the mention isnt that bad. Small things today can turn into big problems tomorrow. So, if you can keep on top of the small things, putting out little fires as they arise, youll have fewer problems down the road.

Focus on Positive Content

Marketing or PR departments should be directed to make online reputation management part of their regular duties. Sorensen recommends, “That means they should always be looking for, gathering or creating positive content that can be used to continually update corporate websites. Dont put everything onto one corporate website. Instead, set up different websites for different purposes. For example, you can have a website for customer support, a website about your charitable giving, a website about conferences and meetings, a website for photos and perhaps individual product line websites. This provides a nice stable of websites that a company can have control over.”

For more information about corporate reputation management please contact Don Sorensen at Big Blue Robot.

Founded in 2003, Big Blue Robot (BBR), http://www.bigbluerobot.com, helps corporations and high profile individuals improve their online reputations through search engine optimization of positive web content.

Hartford, Conn. (PRWEB) April 17, 2012

The Nonprofit Finance Funds 2012 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey reveals Connecticut nonprofits continue to face increased demand for services and decreased funding, with 29% of the 158 respondents closing the 2011 fiscal year with an operating deficit. Connecticut Association of Nonprofits (CT Nonprofits), the largest membership organization in the state dedicated exclusively to working with nonprofits in Connecticut, is witnessing these struggles firsthand.

According to the 2012 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey, in Connecticut alone:

84% of nonprofits anticipate an increased demand for services in 2012, yet only 45% of nonprofits expect to be able to fully meet the demand
Nearly one-third (29%) of nonprofits surveyed ended the 2011 fiscal year with an operating deficit
47% of Connecticut nonprofits that receive federal funding report receiving late payments from the government
70% of the nonprofits in Connecticut that receive funding from State or local government report receiving late payments

Late payments are not a new problem for Connecticuts nonprofit community. In 2009, CT Nonprofits surveyed approximately 500 members to assess how nonprofits were faring amidst the financial crisis. The survey found that 88% of respondents received government funding and 42% of state-funded providers reported receiving late contract payments from the State.

As partners with the State, nonprofits provide efficient, cost-effective health and human services on the states behalf that help ensure Connecticut residents can live healthy, safe lives. Without timely payments and increased funding, it is challenging for the States nonprofits to provide these services to all who need them.

In an attempt to reduce expenses without cutting key services, 16% of the nonprofits surveyed reported collaborating with another organization to reduce administrative expenses.

Collaboration is a powerful cost-saving tool for nonprofits, said Ron Cretaro, Executive Director, Connecticut Association of Nonprofits. By sharing office space, administrative staff, programs and other resources, nonprofits can reduce their operating expenses without having to turn away the increased number of residents who need their services

Locally, two of CT Nonprofits members, YWCA Hartford Region and Chrysalis Center Inc., have developed a partnership to ensure client service remains a top priority.

Approximately 10 years ago, as the YWCA faced mounting losses and a deteriorating building in its housing facility, they began to explore options which would benefit the community and improve the financial picture for YWCA. From this, Soromundi Commons, an emergency shelter for homeless women as well as transitional and permanent housing, was conceived.

From the onset, the two organizations worked together to design the project, secure the necessary funding for renovation and ongoing operations, and develop the working relationships between the two organizations and among other community partners. Today, the project, which will celebrate its 7th anniversary this July, serves about 150 people annually, with Chrysalis Center providing the support services, Konover Residential providing the property management and YWCA providing oversight and managing the funding streams.

While collaborations among nonprofits can provide value to both the organizations and their clients, the importance of maintaining nonprofit funding and issuing annual Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAS) cannot be understated, said Liza Andrews, Public Policy Director & Nonprofit Cabinet Project Director, Connecticut Association of Nonprofits. We are grateful to the Governor for the 1% COLA provided in the FY-2013 budget and hope that he will extend increased support to the nonprofit community in the FY-2014 budget.

Connecticut Association of Nonprofits (CT Nonprofits) is the largest membership organization in the state dedicated exclusively to working with nonprofits in Connecticut. As the voice of nonprofits, the association has advanced the social and economic impact of nonprofits for over 30 years. CT Nonprofits helps members focus their energy on the people and communities they serve by connecting organizations with information, education, advocacy and collaboration.

While experts worry about how technology, social media and an ever-increasing barrage of information seems to be shortening Americans attention spans and how such a change might affect the countrys future success, entrepreneurs have a different question: How can we break through the clutter and get our customers attention?

The answer, says one multi-millionaire entrepreneur, is to drastically alter the way marketing messages are delivered.

Theres no question that attention spans are shorter, and no matter how much you lament that fact, its not going to change, says T. Harv Eker, founder of Peak Potentials, one of North Americas largest personal development training companies, and author of the New York Times best-seller, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. If you want to thrive, you must adapt and that means adapting the way you communicate to suit your customers shorter attention spans. You have to learn to speak in sound bites.

To help entrepreneurs and other business professionals learn to develop and deliver messages suited to short attention spans, Peak Potentials is pairing up with top media coach Joel D. Roberts to deliver a free teleseminar on Thursday, April 12, 2012. A former prime-time, KABC radio talk show host in the #1 radio market in the world, Los Angeles, Roberts consults with and trains top publishers, Fortune 500 companies, celebrities and best-selling authors how to use the principles, strategies and techniques that he learned as a broadcaster.

During Sell More by Saying Less: How to Leverage The Language of Impact to Magnetize Your Message, Captivate Customers, and Stand Out from the Crowd, Roberts will discuss how entrepreneurs and business professionals must adapt their communication to stand out and produce results in a crowded world. Participants will discover:

????3 questions to ask when developing a unique selling proposition
????The real business every entrepreneur is in and how this defines a company
????2 critical factors that determine ones power as a communicator
????The critical function that many entrepreneurs outsource and why it can sabotage their marketing
????What entrepreneurs must provide first to get prospective customers to read a long salesletter or watch a long video (long copy is effective in converting prospects to customers but only if theyre engaged first)
????The very first thing business owners must do well before theyll be able to get paid to solve problems
????The one marketing tool that everyone should be using and 2 key questions to ask before implementing it
????Why its critical and entirely possible to make a company sound unique, even if it has lots of competitors who do the exact same thing (such as in network marketing)
????What entrepreneurs must get crystal-clear about before their companies will be able to earn significantly more money
????One of the biggest selling mistakes that entrepreneurs make and how it lowers their success rate and makes the selling process more cumbersome

Sell More by Saying Less is a Peak Potentials Warp Speed Success tele-webcast. The world is changing quickly. To stay competitive, continual education is important says Eker. Warp Speed Success events are a practical solution for busy entrepreneurs and high achievers who dont want to get left behind, because they deliver essential lessons in 70 minutes or less.
