We’re hoping to pull off a minor technical feat for this session. Stay tuned and watch it all unfold…
I really enjoyed your presentations yesterday. For me, the biggest takeaway was the lesson on authenticity. Testimonials are widely used by companies because, as consumers, we like hearing the real experiences of other consumers. When it’s coming directly from the company, we take it with a grain of salt. When it comes from someone who is no better off whether we make the purchase or not, we have a lot more trust in that opinion.
