Because i need testimonials i am ready to do this almost for free. I am looking for companies who are interested to contact and reactivate their past customers using this proven strategy. I will do all setup and reactivation campaign for you. You give me testimonial after you see results.

Please PM me for more details.

Just make the testimonials up - everybody else does ;)

That is quite the most daft bits of advice I've read on the forms for a long time. It also sums up how little we can now trust anything to do with your business.

But he's not far wrong though.
I've lost count of the amount of testimonials i've seen on review sites which I know were written by the site owners

Maybe, but do you still buy from those websites? Are you prepared to pay money to someone who tells lies to engender trust?

You obviously dont read the advice that you give out then. :p
- Get a sense of humour, thats a piece of advice just for you :D

Oh and by the way fisicx, if you feel the need to attack my business integrity, it might be better to find something other than a flippant ironic remark that I made to substantiate your views!

If you can find any justification to doubt my business integrity lets hear it, otherwise it might be better not to cast aspersions!

This seems to be pretty obvious stuff right? Upselling new products to your existing customers. Getting testimonials. Asking for referrals. Even offering incentives for referrals. The problem is that too many business fail to do this.

They end up neglecting their existing customers and focusing on new client acquisition which is so much more expensive to get.

To be honest yes. If they have the product I want and can't get elsewhere at a better price.

I know it's morally wrong to do it hence why I wouldn't dream of doing it in my business but im not going to cut my nose off to spite my face if someone has something that I want.

I dont place testimonials on my site either.
I dont believe them on other peoples sites, so why should anyone believe them on mine?
I know for a fact that people make them up.
Even if they are from the people that they are purported to be, it doesnt mean that they are any more real for that. I kmow people - and i'm sure most other business people do - that would write a testimonial just for the asking, just to do a reciprocative favour for a business acquaintance, lots of this goes on I'm sure.

Fair enough. It does of course bring into question the value of testimonials. If as suggested most people make them up then is there any point in having testimonials at all? It's a bit like having a rating system on a website, it's unvalidated, not based on any measurable parameters and I'm not sure it does anything to increase conversions.

I which case I withdraw my comments about your integrity.

As a side issue, a client of mine is in a business that requires a lot of trust. He has an impressive collection of testimonials that have lead to a lot of new business.

For me, one of the main purposes of client testimonials that that prospective customers can then call the businesses who provided the testimonials if they so wish?
