ShoutProud^®

HOW IT USED TO BE

Before the internet, a person's reputation was established over time as they connected and developed relationships directly with people. Reputations were built by doing business, sharing personal activities or simply having a meal. While interpersonal communication is still essential to our reputation today, it's not the only way we build it. The trend over the past 20 years has been for a person's online reputation to become nearly as important — and in some cases more important — than a direct personal one.

HOW IT IS TODAY

For many of us, the internet has become the primary means of communication for letting others know who we are, which makes our online reputation and credibility more and more essential. But our online reputation and credibility are also increasingly fragile.

A simple negative post by someone with a grudge can severely damage or even destroy someone's reputation. Just ask any one of a number of politicians, doctors, independent contractors and even entire businesses.  Until ShoutProud, the only means of responding was to attempt to mitigate such damage through search engine manipulation and/or trying to get the offending material removed — an expensive and not always effective counter measure.

HOW SHOUTPROUD^® EMPOWERS YOU

ShoutProud's approach to character and reputation is very different.  You're already in control of your character, ShoutProud gives you control of your reputation.

ShoutProud empowers people to establish a single source of truth regarding their own character and reputation. Our patented system reduces bias and enhances credibility. Coupled with time, the ShoutProud score and Surety Score become a true indicator of a person's character and reputation — which is a real foundation of online credibility.

With ShoutProud as a reference point, posts and comments from people with a grudge are countered with the accuracy and legitimacy of a measured reputation where outliers have little or no impact. Think of it as the 'credit score' for a person's reputation.

HOW TO USE IT
