Leverage the Power of Live Testimonials at Your Seminars!

Home » Client Services » Leverage the Power of Live Testimonials at Your Seminars!

Whether looking for a new dentist, contractor, plumber or even a pet sitter, millions of consumers visit Better Business Bureau, Angie’s List and other consumer advocate-oriented websites to read comments and reviews before making a decision. Even more consumers will ask their friends and neighbors for referrals – all because they need advice and want to avoid choosing the wrong person and wasting time and money.

With that in mind, consider joining many of the best seminar marketers in the country by personally inviting one or two of your best clients to your events. Be honest with them about what you’re presenting at the event and why you’d appreciate their help by either allowing you to tell their story or, better yet, allowing them a few minutes to recount their personal experience working with you.

A live testimonial can help you set more appointments and gain more clients than almost any other technique. Why? Because consumers are more likely to believe a fellow consumer when it comes to making such an important decision.

This isn’t a reflection on you as a consummate professional – an attorney with ethics and a passion for working with your clients to build a more secure estate and legacy plan. It’s leveraging the reality that word-of-mouth by a client carries more credibility in the eyes and mind of a potential client than all the awards and designations this wonderful business can bestow on us.

And if that isn’t enough, you can also use this as an opportunity to share new concepts and solutions to these clients that might not have been available when you last met with them. Call it cross-selling. Call it cementing an already-strong attorney – client relationship.  Just call a few clients and ask them to attend and you’ll see what I’m talking about!
