108 How To Get Credibility When You Can't Get Testimonials

from Strategic Storytelling

It's not a secret that potential clients get nervous before they decide to hire you. They know they're taking a risk, especially if you're a small business and they aren't coming from a referral. They're looking for reasons to trust you. Ideally, they'd find social proof - several warm, obviously genuine, signed testimonials from previous clients. - But you can't always get those testimonials. Sometimes you're too new. Sometimes you provide a service where clients don't want to identify themselves. If you're lucky, you'll get a first name and a city. You understand. Some services are sensitive and so are some people. How else can you communicate your knowledge, experience, and approachability? The truth is, you can build trust and build relationships by the way you create your content. It's not about the words. It's in the stories you tell, the way you describe your services, and the context of your presentation.
