I’m a firm believer in how valuable the testimony can be to your business.
It is one of the best prospected tools online not to mention it’s free.
Testimonials are a means of authority especially when building your business online. I actually used a testimony from a sales site to lead me to my very first online business several years ago.

Great post!

great customer testimonial demonstrates your company’s value and why someone hired/purchased from you. Beyond showing that your customer is happy, the testimony explains their problem or pain point in some detail as well as the impact or opportunity cost of not solving it. Ideally the testimonial is persuasive to your best prospect; they identify with the situation and are compelled to reach for the phone or fill out that “contact me” form on your website.

[...] Brian Clark, of Copyblogger fame, says testimonials are, “Intermediated word-of-mouth marketing, and they do work when credible.” He adds, “In fact they work very well indeed if you work hard to get the right kind of testimonial.

Suggestion: DO NOT include your customers email addresses as I just received a very angry email from one of my clients whose testimonial I recently put on my website and he’s blaming me for his inbox blowing up with spam! Apparently “email scrapers” are all the rage nowadays and wherever an email address is exposed online, it will be used for spam… (And “yes”, I did have his permission to use his name and email address…)
