We all want a piece of the pie. Why not, it's large enough to spare a chunk to you right? There's nothingwrong with wanting more than just a piece, You're an entrepreneur, you want a LARGE piece. I want to show you how, by simply adding a few testimonials here and there , you can dramatically increaseyour chances of making more sales online and offline.
We all want to believe that you have the best "gidget & widget" out there. We want to believe itbecause you said so. But, the harsh reality is, is that we simply can't just take your word for it.
For instance, just for an example, let's use "Company Logo Design". Here is the difference between factstell and stories sell.

Do you see the difference in the two???? In the example #1, I added all the features plus the price.In the 2nd example, I DIDN'T even add the price. Even without the price, example #2 will bring in moresales than the example #1 ever will.
It's all about "Fear Of Loss".
Fear of loss is a powerful tool to use. Don't tell people what they need. Have them fear the fact thatif they don't have it, nothing will work out for them. A good industry to follow is in "Make-up" companies & BeautyProducts. This industry has used "fear of loss" to it's fullest. They consistently insert into youngfemale minds that, if they don't use their products, they will never be as beautiful as they hope tobe.
Like I mentioned before, we all want to believe that you have the best product out there, by simply insertinga testimonial, this will ultimately help your visitors to further believe that you do.
When promoting online, here's another given you should always consider:
People are simply sitting at a computer desk browsing through the internet. There's no personal touchto searching for services, in your visitors mind, it's only duty should be strictly informational. Testimonialsand utilizing that fear of loss helps you to create a sub-conscious emotion that triggers an attachmentto your companies services. If you've accomplished this correctly, your visitor could go looking at anothercompany for the same services but, they will likely have problems concentrating on anything else.
Around 8/10 people go with a company from a gut feeling, not facts. This is a very high number to looseby simply failing to appeal to feelings instead of just facts.
I'll put it to you another way. When you look at a web design company. They may have the best price outthere but, your main concern is to view their work. To see their portfolio in action. Adding testimonialsto each web site in their portfolio would be a powerful venture for any web design company. Why do wealways want to see their work? Fear of loss.
What would you feel like if you saw a portfolio that was full of sensory rich web sites that not onlylooked great but also functioned perfectly? Would you feel excited to talk to these people at that affordableprice? I know I would. On the other hand, yeah the price is right but the quality is poor. Mostof us will simply move onto the next web design company.
The more you can grab some ones attention and keep them interested online, the more they will learn tolike you, trust you, and call you for your services, no matter the price.
In Conclusion:
Spice up your piece of the pie by spicing up some stories and grabbing peoples attention through fearof loss & success stories.
Hope this article helps you out!
