The Need For “Proof”
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Whether you are doing online or offline sales, the main question your prospects will ask is why should they trust you?
Why should they engage your service? Or buy your product?
The biggest obstacle to getting the sale is displaying adequate proof.
Proof that you are able to do what you say you can do.
Proof that it is safe to do business with you. Proof that there will little to no risk.
I’ve lost sales before. I’ve made unconvincing presentation too. Because I failed to show enough proof. So don’t repeat the same mistakes I made.
Here are a few good ways to ramp up your “proofs”:
- Display successful case studies – how, who what, when, why – explain in specific terms how your service/product has helped…
- Testimonials – better to let a 3rd party brag for you…
- Show videos/images/pictures (optical proof) of results/products – People are visual creature. They tend to believe more when they see…
- Show relevant certifications – I’m talking about security certifications… educational certifications…industry accredited certifications and so on…
- Show facts and figures – people are more taken in by numbers. The more specific the better. If they can see that you can go down to that detailed a data, then it must be true…
- Money back guarantee – To show proof that you are supremely confident of what you can deliver. If not, your money back. Not suitable for all though.
- Display client logos – rub their credibility to you. It’s the power of association.
- Quote relevant quotes by authority figures that will help your cause. Again it’s about the power of association.
Do you have anymore you can think of? Are you showing adequate proof today?
Let me know what you think?
All success,
