Stop wasting your testimonials

"A game-changer. Wish we'd found them years ago." 🚫

(testimonials that speak directly to client pain points)

Here's the approach:

2️⃣ Inventory existing testimonials by pain point

3️⃣ If key pain points are missing, get those testimonials

4️⃣ Place pain point-specific testimonials wherever you discuss solving client problems

Why ⚡️ Pain Point Testimonials work: It shows you understand and solve real problems.

Remember: Generic praise is forgettable. Pain point testimonials show you get your clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does generic praise in testimonials actually hurt lead generation?

Because it's forgettable and doesn't say anything specific. A vague quote like "a game-changer" could apply to any agency, which means it doesn't do the work of actually convincing a prospect.

What is a "pain point testimonial"?

A testimonial that speaks directly to a specific client pain point, rather than offering generic praise. It shows real proof of solving the exact kind of problem a prospect is currently facing.

How do I start building a library of pain point testimonials?

Identify the top 3-5 pain points clients typically come in with, then inventory existing testimonials to see which pain points are already covered and which ones are missing.

What should happen if a key pain point has no matching testimonial yet?

Go get one. Reaching out to a client who experienced that specific problem and asking them to speak to it directly fills the gap rather than leaving that pain point unaddressed.

Where should pain point testimonials actually be placed?

Wherever the specific client problem is being discussed, so the proof shows up right where the prospect is already reading about their exact situation, not just scattered generically across a website.
