Do You Know Why Your Clients Love You?

In my enduring affection for the cliffhanger, I left you in suspense last week by promising to unveil an often-overlooked facet of website copy development. 

Today is the Big Reveal. Ready? Here it is: Testimonials. 

I often refer to testimonials as the magic of "same message; different mouth." After all, while we can boast about our greatness all day long, it's hearing it from someone else that truly validates it in the eyes of potential clients.

Testimonials are more than endorsements; they're the embodiment of the "voice of the customer," carrying significant weight in shaping how people perceive a business. They're the ultimate social proof that backs up your claims about the quality of your work. 

In short, they answer the question, “Why do clients love to work with me?”

When people who are curious to work with you read testimonials, they want to imagine themselves having a similar experience and success as those who have worked with you before. 

In other words, they want to see themselves in the story, and when they do, it leads them to take the same action and partner with you.

Take a peek at the testimonials I crafted for Kathleen Burns Kingsbury to get a sense of what I mean.

Moreover, testimonials play a crucial role in informing web copy. They provide valuable insights into the specific benefits and outcomes that clients have experienced, allowing businesses to tailor their messaging accordingly. By highlighting the genuine satisfaction expressed by previous customers, businesses can effectively communicate their value proposition and differentiate themselves from competitors.

In essence, testimonials act as a bridge between businesses and their target audience, leveraging the authentic experiences of satisfied clients to build trust and drive conversions. 

Excited to unlock the potential of testimonials and take your business to new heights? Let's link up and explore ways to make your testimonials shine, whether they stand alone or as part of a broader website copy project!
