PROskore Power Rankings - Tax Preparation

  One of the primary benefits of the PROskore scoring system in the context of online business networking is the ability for our members to quickly filter search results across a number of variables including: Industry, Geography, Needs, Wants, Affiliations, Education, Keywords, and more.

In this sense, PROskore makes the networking experience more efficient by allowing you to focus your energy on people that have real potential either because they 1). are engaged  2). they have influence 3). have what you need (and vice versa).  As promised a few weeks ago, we will continue to demonstrate our search capabilities by showcasing a variety of Top 25 Rankings across each of these variables.  Given that today is the deadline for filing taxes here in the U.S., we've chosen to highlight the Top 25 PROskore members who have indicated they are experts in Tax Preparation.  


You have until midnight EST.  If you find yourself running a bit behind, reach out to one of these reputable professionals!

PROmote Your PROskore

Stop for a minute and think about the amount of hours and resources it's taken you over the years to establish your professional reputation.  If you're like most active members of PROskore you've earned an advanced degree (85%), held multiple management level jobs (70%), started your own company (65%), convinced at least a few hundred people to follow you on social media (90%), and earned the recommendations of multiple people on LinkedIn and/or PROskore (70%).  That's some serious time and effort!

Now, what if there was a way to promote all of these accomplishments from a single source?   

Look no further than PROskore.  We've made it real easy to promote your accomplishments in multiple ways by offering embed code, share buttons and custom hyperlinks that link back to ALL of your achievements via your PROskore profile. 

Here's a few examples of how to quickly 'toot your own horn':
  1. PROskore Profile:  Share it. Link to it. Embed it.
  2. PROskore Industry Ranking:  Share it. Link to it.
  3. PROskore Location Ranking:  Share it.  Link to it.
  4. PROskore Affiliation Ranking:  Share it.  Link to it. (click on affiliation logo)
  5. PROskore College Ranking:  Share it.  Link to it. (click on college logo)
  6. PROskore Achievement Badges:  Share them.  Embed them.


Here's a great example of a PROskore member that 'gets it'.  He's not only shared his score (and ranking) across social media every chance he gets, but he's also taken the time to write about it and highlight it on his blog, website and more.  Whether he's truly the second best social media expert in the world is irrelevant.  He's been validated in the eyes of a third-party rating system (PROskore) - which gives him instant credibility in the eyes of potential clients.  This is not much different than an automaker promoting their Consumer Reports ranking to attract new customers.   

So start promoting your PROskore.  You've earned it.

Fun Rankings

As you know, PROskore has been designed as a marketing tool to be used primarily by business professionals to network and generate new business.  In that way, our scoring algorithm helps members of PROskore filter through the opportunities presented to them by allowing them to focus their time on other professionals who have a strong professional reputation.

That being said, the PROskore scoring algorithm can also be used to rank all sorts of high profile professionals across many different types of industries.  For example, we recently scored and ranked all of the coaches taking part in this years NCAA tournament.  Doing so, allowed the world to better understand which coaches are taking advantage of social media.  Similarly, we scored and ranked all the Congressman in the state of Florida (we are headquartered in FL)... to learn more about which local politicians are using social media to their advantage.


So far, we've created about five of these 'fun' ranking charts... and have recently added them to the PROskore website - where we'll continue to add more in the coming weeks.  If you have an idea for a group we should score, let us know!
