Tell me about your firm (number of employees, location, type of companies you work with, etc.).

Number of employees – 1. Location – Bellmore, NY with satellite office space in New York City. Type of companies I work with – Small companies looking for brand development, individuals looking to develop their personal brands and manage their online reputations.
What type and size of companies do you have as clients?
See above.
What comes to mind when you see this topic?
I feel this is a very realistic question and businesses that do not think about what challenges they face are living in a fool’s paradise. There is always going to be competition so it’s important that business owners are honest with themselves and their employees about who they are as a company and what it is that makes them the best choice for clients (and what they as a company need to work on in order to retain marketshare).
What are the best practices when it comes to this issue?
Brand your business. Don’t come up with a catchphrase that doesn’t address what the core business is. Develop a brand and reputation based on what is essential to your business. Everyone will say they have great customer service; likewise, everyone says their employees are trustworthy. These things are “givens” and will not set one business apart from the pack.
