Testimonials
I do think testimonials are a great way to promote yourself or your company. Nothing like letting someone else toot your own horn! It's much more believable to the customer than you saying how great you are.

Great article. Testimonials are one of the most underutilized methods of closing sales. Why? Because most business owners don't really have a "system" of asking for testimonials. In addition, what most people forget is that people that give you testimonials can and will give you referrals! And referrals are the fastest and least expensive way to get business especially in a recession. Systemize the process of asking for testimonials and referrals and your sales will grow.

What my clients tell me...
Such an important post. Testimonials don't have to be from well-known people or about big brands or large budgets. However, they do have to ring with truth that the reader can perceive. This creates the credibility Chris refers to in this post.
How to convey credibility in testimonials, even if the reader probably doesn't know the person who gave it?
When I ask clients why they chose to work with me or signed up for my programs, many times I hear that they read the testimonials on my site or spoke to someone who had worked with me before (a live testimonial). I'm convinced this brings in more clients than any hype-filled ad ever would.
