I just got a call at the office from a potential Client. So far, so good. After the traditional introductions, he explains what he wants. I don’t quite understand, it leaves me a bit KO … I insist in a polite way that he explains it to me again, that I didn’t understand it (maybe it’s me, it’s Monday morning). He explains it to me again… yes, I understood it well the first time. Hmm, something’s not working…
Darkside
The potential Client, thanks to a contact who told him that bc data india we are dedicated to “ this Internet thing ”, asked for a quote/proposal to “delete” all his negative mentions that exist on the Internet. I didn’t even dare to ask if it was a person or a brand. I kindly told him that (in addition to the fact that we are not dedicated to this) it is not the way or solution to his problem. That there are alternatives so that said Online Corporate Reputation is/is better managed, not just with “scissors”. His response: “ It’s that there are many results (I understand that on Google) that we don’t like and we prefer to delete them, nothing more…”
When he said “it’s just that”, Victor Küppers immediately came to mind (we already told you about the excellent conversation we had here at Prestigia Online) and his great definition of the “Dark Side”.
Your vision of the "Jedis" (with their "What can I do for them?" , the effort, the struggle...) and the "Storm Troopers" or flatterers of the Dark Side (who complain, who cry, who blame the rest of the world but not themselves) came back to me. It is easier to complain and cry than to strive and keep fighting.
Be careful, it is easy to go over to the Dark Side…
