Ep 15. How introverts get testimonials that convert

Think you're at a disadvantage when it comes to getting client testimonials? Think again.

I'll share the specific questions I use to get heart-felt responses, and why the "messy middle" of your client's transformation is exactly what your next client needs to hear. If you've been struggling with surface-level social proof, this episode will completely flip your perspective on testimonials.__________Mentioned in this episode:Silent Storm (to see examples of client interviews)Humble Brag (£22 audio course/journal)__________Come and say hi:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠Weekly Emails⁠⁠See what I do: ⁠⁠Website⁠
