This will help you land new clients

Hey Reader,

Testimonials can help you land new clients, but there's a problem:

Anyone can write them.

The exception to this are testimonials on LinkedIn.

They're verified.

The question is how can you ask for these in a way that doesn't feel sleazy?

A quick story

A few months ago, I started working with Kit.

It's been a joy. They're a great client.

So much so, I wrote a LinkedIn post about how I landed the opportunity:

At the end of the post, I thanked Thom — the person I work closely with at Kit.

That was that.

It just seemed like the right thing to do.

Later that day, Thom left a very kind comment:

This could be a testimonial...

So I slipped into his DMs.

"Thanks also for your comment on my LinkedIn post yesterday [...]"

Two weeks later, a message popped up.

Thom had left me one:

Takeaways

  1. Do great work for people
  2. Thank them publicly on LinkedIn (and tag them in your post)
  3. See what happens

If an opportunity to ask for a testimonial pops up, you'll see it.

You'll then be able to leverage this by:

  • Posting it on your socials
  • Putting it on your website
  • Sharing it with potential new clients

Easy breazy :)

As always, thanks so much for reading, and have a wonderful weekend!

Scott

TLDR: The last 18 months have been... *challenging* I lost my step-dad I quit two jobs — one which was extremely toxic My girlfriend recently moved into my place (obvs wonderful but still a major life change!)

Hey Reader, 4 years ago, I started building this email list. And honestly? It's one of the best things I've ever done. Writing online has helped me connect with people all over the world, work from anywhere, and build long-lasting friendships. I'm extremely grateful to those who've stuck around. You know who you are. But my life is changing. And so too are my priorities. For the longest time, I felt like I had something to prove. (F*ck knows who to.) Writing. Travelling. Business-ing. It was...

Read time: 1 min Hey Reader, I've been sat here for the last 20 minutes thinking about what to write. I take that as a good sign. You see, writing online has been therapy for me. I've shared all of life's ugly details with you. But right now, I feel a sense of peace I haven't experienced in a while. Things are good. So much so, I've ditched my original plans for this email. Instead, I thought I'd share 7 things I'm grateful for. Maybe it'll encourage you to do the same. 5 minutes is all you...
