• Save by Industry

  • Minor edits to each testimonial to focus on speaking, topic, expertise
  • LinkedIn endorsements, peer endorsements, and consulting references can be adapted for use as testimonials
  • Archive every testimonial received, organized by industry.
  • Organizations feel confident in speakers who have spoken to similar audiences
  • If a competitor booked you, they may feel the need to obtain the same information
  • Industry-specific testimonials improve sales and bookings

• Offering a fee reduction or complimentary service in exchange for a high-quality testimonial is a widely accepted practice. Speakers who trade a partial or full fee for the right testimonial — particularly from a recognizable organization — often see a measurable return through future bookings driven by that social proof.
