Customer endorsements are an inexpensive and easy sales tool, particularly for someone just starting out.

Here are some tips on how to get them and use them:

Send follow-up letters. Two to four weeks after working with a customer, send a survey letter or postcard. Be sure to leave space for them to write in their own words what they liked best about your company, product or service. Don't forget to pay for the postage so they can easily return it to you. This is something we do for both sellers and tenant/buyers. In addition we also ask our coaching students and customers who purchase other products for endorsements.

Check your files. Look for recent letters from satisfied customers. You may be able to use excerpts in your sales literature. But make sure you first get written permission from the person who sent the letter. Ask to edit. When getting written permission, ask to edit your customers' remarks. Responses may be too long for your promotional material, or contain irrelevant information.

Focus on benefits. If you have a choice, use testimonials that stress benefits rather than general remarks. ("Your lease purchase program allowed me to move my home in 14 days vs. "I liked dealing with your company.") You can help solicit these types of remarks by asking customers in the survey how your company helped them do their jobs better. We send a letter out to each seller and tenant buyer and ask them specifically about the lease purchase program.

Ask to use their names. Anonymous testimonials are better than nothing, but they may appear to be made up. A person's name and company name (you don't need the street address) adds authenticity.

So start using endorsements to grow your business!

2. Don’t Put All Of Your Eggs Into One Basket By Sandi Moses
I vaguely remember a particular story from my childhood. It had something to do with transporting eggs to market. The main character, a little girl who thought she knew more than she really did, put all of the day’s eggs into one basket, and when she tripped and fell on the way into town to sell the eggs, all of the eggs broke. It seems that her grandmother (the voice of experience and wisdom) tried to tell her not to do that, but she wouldn…

After all, if you guarantee it, you must believe in whatever it is you are guaranteeing. Remember Domino Pizza's unique selling proposition (USP), which was also used as a headline? 'Fresh Hot Pizza, Delivered To Your Door In 30 Minutes Or Less - Guaranteed!' That headline worked great for Domino's, could a similar hea…
