Ever feel like you’re shouting into the void about your business? What if your clients could do the selling for you? In this episode, I break down how to collect, showcase, and leverage testimonials to build instant credibility and scale your business—without spending a dime on ads.
✅ The Core Four of Marketing: Why testimonials are the missing piece
✅ Google My Business, Yelp, and Nextdoor – Where should you focus?
✅ How to creatively ask for testimonials (and actually get them!)
✅ Video testimonials: The game-changer that builds instant trust
✅ Where to showcase your reviews for maximum impact
If you’ve been sleeping on testimonials, this episode will change your marketing game.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
1️⃣ Social proof builds instant trust. You can say you’re great all day long, but it means more when your clients say it for you.
2️⃣ Google My Business is a must-have. It’s the first thing people see when they search for your business—so start collecting those 5-star reviews!
3️⃣ Yelp vs. Nextdoor: Know where your audience is. Yelp is great for restaurants & service-based businesses, while Nextdoor works well for local referrals & networking.
4️⃣ Creative ways to get more testimonials:
✔ Offer a freebie in exchange for a review after a workshop
✔ Use one-off coaching calls to generate quick success stories
✔ Run testimonial interviews on Zoom and turn them into content
5️⃣ Showcase testimonials everywhere: Your website, social media, email signature, and even in your sales calls when handling objections.
