• Transforming local sales partners into empowered brand ambassadors.
• A strategic cooperation between ProvenExpert.com and marcapo
• Joint stand E021 / Hall 6 at DMEXCO, 12-13 September

Berlin / Ebern, September 5, 2018. Joining forces – marketing portal meets ratings tool. With added value for brands and their sales partners as a result. The challenge of local brand management is that it only works when representatives position a brand locally in the right way. The goal of the strategic cooperation between ProvenExpert.com and marcapo is to transform local sales partners into strong brand ambassadors. At our joint exhibition stand (Hall 6, Stand E021) at the Digital Marketing Expo & Conference (DMEXCO) (12-13 September in Cologne), ProvenExpert and marcapo will present effective solutions for companies to boost their business.

Positive online reputation: Utilizing sales partners as a brand platform

Trusting a brand representative is decisive for consumers and is how they first develop interest in a brand, explains Marc-Stephan Vogt, executive partner of marcapo. The ProvenExpert ratings tools is the ideal way to actively position your local brand representatives. As Remo Fyda, CEO of ProvenExpert, recommends: Use the voices of your satisfied customers, because the most powerful vote of confidence in a sales partner is positive feedback from their own customers. This display of trust is not just gratifying, but hugely effective too. In fact, 85% of all consumers trust online reviews just as much as they do personal recommendations. A positive online reputation enhances your own self-confidence – and your brand too.

Harnessing business potential: Integrated solution for added brand value

Reflecting the networking concept of DMEXCO, these two companies have come together to showcase a joint solution. Lateral thinking, finding new solutions and a sounding board for future business – this cooperation aims to speak to companies and service providers who want to use their digital potential to increase their work success. The integrated solution with ProvenExpert offers brands true added value, because it offers a clear overview of their sales partners' online activity, says marcapo executive partner Marc-Stephan Vogt. Both companies are confident that the solutions they offer are perfectly tailored to their customers' needs.
