Start Early Collecting Testimonials

One of the first goals for network-marketers who want to succeed fast, big, and long-term, should be to believe enough in their product to get it in the hands of potential customers and distributors as quickly as possible. This assumes of course that you're working with an excellent company which has an excellent product(s). When those criteria are met, waste no time in gathering testimonials.

Testimonials are the results that end-users receive from your products or service. They get direct benefits that wow them to the point of talking about them to others.

Testimonials will sell more products, to more customers, more of the time, than any sales pitch. Why? It's because of the energy, conviction and living proof that someone has received a real benefit from the product or service.

Secondly, it is because that testimonial is not coming from you, the distributor which may make it appear as a sales pitch.

Learn How To Get More Testimonials

First get enough product or services in the hands of 20 or more people as quickly as possible. If it is a really great product, you should have about seven or more great testimonials in less than two to three weeks.

Secondly, listen for testimonials. Some customers will give them freely as long as youll take the time to listen. Ive picked up on testimonials while speaking on the telephone, visiting in hospitals and in casual conversations. Ive had customers to use my product and they have felt so great as a result that the changes had escaped them until they began to think and talk about it. Some will then go on and on about the product even amazing themselves at the results theyve achieved once they focus on the benefits.

Third, ask for testimonials. You have not because you ask not. Ask! and you shall receive. Seek! and you shall find. Knock! and the door of testimonials shall be opened to you.

Fourth, capture the testimonials. Keep a record of them. Record those testimonials with permission of the customers. Have them to write them out and sign them. Include their photographs where possible. What is even better is to tape and or video record them and use them in sales literature, on websites and in live meetings.

Use Testimonials Effectively

As I have begun to gather the testimonials of clients who have lowered their blood-pressure, lowered cholesterol, improved their kidney function, overcome gout, insomnia, improved energy and strength, normalized their blood sugar as diabetics, gained relief from fibromyalgia, arthritic pain, acid reflux and other digestive disorders, I capture them through audio and video recordings where possible.

When I speak with new prospects, if they have any of the conditions that my product addresses out of the 34 scientifically validated health benefits, I choose the appropriate category of testimonials and forward them through email or in person to let them hear for themselves the experience of live people who are already benefiting from the product and experiencing the results theyre seeking.

This works much more effectively than selling and everyone wins. Warning: Always allow time for testimonials in your meetings but use caution. Stay away from the over exaggerated claims that could get you in trouble with regulatory agents. If you're in the health and wellness industry, avoid making claims of any cures.
