“I have many happy clients. How can I get them to share testimonials?"
That’s what my reader asked me when I was looking for new applications for. telling stories.
It's a complaint I hear from other service business owners too. Let's face it: if you're a small, service-based business, you need credibility. Nobody wants to be your first client!
In this episode of the Strategic Storytelling podcast, I share the reasons people don't leave good testimonials. It'll help you navigate the challenge more easily.
