Step 1:

Read about how to leverage the power of testimonials:

List-a-Palooza Rocks!

How to use testimonials to drive traffic to your website & build your list:

When you give SOMEONE ELSE a testimonial, make sure that they include a link to your website with the testimonial. If you’re giving a video testimonial, say your website during the video.

Often people will be inspired by your testimonial and want to check YOU out, not just the person who you gave the testimonial to.

How to use testimonials to increase your conversion rate:

Third party endorsement and social proof are HUGE!!! In my experience, the testimonials that your clients and colleagues give you contribute more to your opt in rate and sales conversion than your hottest and most eloquent marketing copy.

Pepper your sales pages with testimonials, and include them in your speaking presentations, videos and e-mails (basically… everywhere!)

How to gather powerful testimonials:

ASK FOR THEM!

When appropriate, you can even WRITE THEM FOR THEM and have them edit / approve

Often when my clients are raving about the amazing results they’re getting from working with me, I say “That’s awesome! Can I use that as a testimonial?” and when they say yes, “Great! I’ll e-mail you what I just heard you say and you can edit or approve it. Does that work?”

Everyone has always appreciated this because it makes their life easier.

The most powerful testimonials often revolve around:

1. The specific results they’ve gotten from working with you
2. What they appreciate most about your character & abilities
3. What they appreciate most about the process you’ve taken them through
4. Whatever else they feel inspired to share

One of my favorite testimonial templates is:

“Before working with [YOUR NAME], _________________, and now _____________________.”

List-a-Palooza Rocks!

Step 2:

If you’d like me to feature you on my website and in my marketing, please leave a testimonial for me as a comment on this blog post.

NOTE: Remember to include your title (ex. Master Hand Analyst, Business Coach, etc.) the URL for your website that you want me to send people to.

Please comment on one or more of the following:

1. The specific results you’ve gotten from working with me
2. What you appreciate about my character and abilities and working with me in general
3. What you liked best about List-a-Palooza
4. Whatever else you feel inspired to share

 
Step 3:

Write 3 testimonials that you wish people would give YOU. What would you love for your clients and colleagues to say about you?

This is for your own internal use – you don’t have to post these here on the blog.

 
Step 4:

E-mail 3 or more colleagues or clients that you feel would be willing to give you a testimonial and provide the testimonials that you wrote about yourself as examples for them to edit / approve.

People are busy! By giving them a first draft to work with, you will get more testimonials.

    TESTIMONIAL FOR P.J.

    I came to the List-A-Palooza late in the game, but I’ve already gained so much valuable information and new list members!

    P.J. Van Hulle offers creative ideas for increasing your list and the process is actually FUN because you get to do it along with others with the same goals.

    As if that weren’t enough, P.J. is a very gifted interviewer, and the people she invites to speak with her are SO helpful. To top it off, P.J. gives a summary of each interview she does at the end of each week, so that you can get the take-home lessons even if you missed the interview.

    I wish I’d found out about List-A-Palooza sooner, but you can be sure that if (when?) she offers it again, I will be there! Thanks so much for this P.J! You’re an angel!

  • Thank you so much, PJ, for putting together this super collection of speakers with so many great tips. I especially appreciated that the speakers really showed off their stuff, not just “here’s a list of 5 things – well, we’re only going to talk about one, buy my program to get the other 4”. Obviously with such a wide range of speakers, not everything will apply to everybody, but I certainly found most of them to be useful and am implementing as fast as I can. I came to the event late in the cycle and wish I had known of it sooner, so I could have started implementing sooner – I hope there is another one in a while.

  • Thanks again PJ for another fantastic List-a-palooza.

    This has been my 3rd one and the 1st one I have listened to live being based in North Wales in the UK that has meant some bleary eyed ah-ha’s on the late night calls but it has been worth it!

    You have a such a warm and inquisitive style that you bring out the best in all your featured experts, they give great content aided by your curiosity, great questions and superb summaries. We all leave the calls filled with ideas and having witnessed the (seemingly) effortless modelling of gracious and authentic marketing from you PJ a master crafts (wo)man at work.

    Thanks muchly

  • Hi PJ,
    Thank you for the tremendous effort and value that you put into List-a-Palooza. A friend referred this program to me, and I am so grateful! Your integrity and heart in helping people shines through. During these weeks I learned not only great list building strategies, but how to more effectively communicate to and nurture my list of followers. Due to some travel commitments, I wasn’t able to always listen live. I purchased the recordings and look forward to listening to them. Also, the value you gave was so tremendous, I think everyone should purchase the recordings just to support you. 🙂
    Am looking forward to putting several of the tips I learned into practice.
    Warmest regards,
