When it comes to building your reputation as a speaker, coach, or trainer, nothing is more powerful than social proof. Testimonials from satisfied clients, success stories, and media features can elevate your brand and build trust with potential clients faster than anything else. The key is knowing how to gather and present this proof effectively. Start by making it easy for clients to give you testimonials. After a successful engagement or coaching session, ask them specific questions that highlight the results they achieved. "What was the biggest change you noticed after working together?" will yield more impactful responses than a generic “How was it?” Next, you want to present your social proof in the right places—on your website, in your speaker packet, and even on social media. A few well-placed testimonials can turn a hesitant prospect into a paying client. In our free training, we’ll show you exactly how to gather powerful testimonials, create compelling case studies, and leverage PR opportunities to build your credibility.
