Why it matters
- People trust peers over pitches. Social proof is the cheapest persuasion you have — if it's real and visible.
Best practices
- Collect proof at peak satisfaction moments.
- Make it specific — names, roles, results.
- Deploy where the buyer decides.
- Refresh it — stale proof ages.
Common mistakes
- Fake-sounding, generic quotes.
- Proof hidden on a page nobody visits.
- Testimonials that expire unnoticed.
Key questions
- Where does the buyer need proof most?
- What proof is specific enough to matter?
