CASE STUDIES: THE ULTIMATE SOCIAL PROOF

Show that you walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

And this doesn’t pertain only to case studies. You also need to get the word out anytime your business is nominated or wins awards.

There’s no better way to demonstrate that you are a valued resource and that you know your stuff.

BE A GUEST ON RADIO — OR DISTRIBUTE A PODCAST

Some people like to read; some like to watch. Still others prefer to listen.

This all goes back to making yourself available everywhere your target audience lives.

People who would never read your blog post just might be listening — and that opens up a whole new audience for you.

THANK ‘EM … AND THEN MAKE ANOTHER OFFER

You have an offer out there; something people can download or opt in to view online. Great.

You probably have some way set up to thank them as well, with a “thank you” page or email. Beautiful.

THANK ‘EM … AND THEN MAKE ANOTHER OFFER

Do you make another offer as part of that “thank you”? You should.

That is a hot prospect, and you have their undivided attention.

Make them an offer that’s complementary to the one they just accepted but that draws them deeper into your funnel.

ARE YOU B2B? PUBLISH ON LINKEDINAnd, while we’re talking about LinkedIn, check into their Saved Search option.

You can search on LinkedIn and save the results. After that LinkedIn will continue to look for people who fit those parameters and send you a list via email. Incredibly useful stuff.
