Research from Nielsen says just 50% of people believe what a company has to say about its products and services, while 83% will trust the opinion of a friend, peer or family member.

The explosion in use of digital media has given professionals the opportunity to have their wisdom and experience be discoverable, shareable and memorable like never before. It's a wonder then that so many people have not grasped this opportunity and insist on having their life's work generate a mostly mediocre impression on the world.
