    Here are 6 ways turn Google into your secret weapon when approaching the sale.

    SECRET WEAPON #1: Google Yourself
    If you’re not doing this at least a few times a month anyway, you’re crazy. And this isn’t an ego thing, it’s about visibility. It’s about reputation. You need to know who’s talking about you, where you show up & where you don’t show up.

    REMEMBER: every time you encounter a potential client – in person, on the phone, via email – odds are, they’ve already Googled you.

    ALSO REMEMBER: if you don’t exist on Google, you don’t exist.

    SECRET WEAPON #2: Google Your Company
    Find out what customers, clients and the competition are saying about your company. If possible, get involved in chat rooms, bulletin boards and other online networking venues to represent (or defend) your organization.

    KEEP IN THE FRONT OF YOUR MIND: you can participate in your online image, but you can’t control it.

    KEEP IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND: you and your company are getting talked about, whether you like it or not.

    SECRET WEAPON #3: Google Their Company
    Sure, you can go to the website of a potential client you hope to work with, but Googling their company name will give you a much broader scope. Find out what other people are saying about them. Especially if it’s negative feedback. See if they’ve been in the news lately, either for something good OR bad.

    THINK ABOUT IT: a company’s own website won’t post anything bad about themselves.

    AND THINK ABOUT THIS: you might say something stupid or accidentally hit a hot button if you don’t do your research first.

I found a great article all about his leadership style; printed it out, stuck it on my wall, then quoted the VP’s own words back to him at the end of our conversation. I complimented his eloquence and then explained how my services connected with his philosophy. He loved it!

    SECRET WEAPON #6: Googling Personal Info
    This one is just fun. Try your own phone number, address, or better yet, your email. Try your boss’s or your spouse’s information. It’s wicked cool. Also, Google your OLD personal information, especially out-of-date phone numbers. You can see which websites list you incorrectly. (If you’re really anal, you can call them up and tell them to change it.) That one will blow your mind.

    (NOTE: I just Googled my social security number. Nothing came up, thank God.)

    TRUST ME: your personal information is out there somewhere.

    AND TRUST THIS: the Internet is forever. (Insert spooky sound effect sound.)
