Collecting student testimonials & videos

Let's talk again about collecting student testimonials because this is so important and I need you please to start with this as soon as possible. When you follow me anywhere on my social media accounts, you will notice that I'm doing something day in and day out and I've been doing that since day one, which is sharing and leveraging social proof. Like all of these posts, it's customer feedback and I'm sharing it all day long and it's what got me my first paid clients and it would is what really helped me to close my first beta students and it's what always helped me to sell the memberships. Please, please, please get your hands on screenshots like that for yourself and share the heck out of it and make it a priority for yourself to collect these screenshots. We can do this and I show you how. I collected also video testimonials for this last launch. But Prince, on base level, where we want to start is in Coach Graph. We have coaching for testimonials and you can drop what you do in there and you can consume coaching from somebody else in exchange for they consume coaching with you and you give each other an honest testimonial. First off, a lot of people found their first client like this. Second off, it's really, really great for you to get not only written but also video testimonials and it's just this will become a lifeline for your business. The social proof is, is so, so essential and will also give you a lot of confidence. So please come into Coach Griffub. It's a pinned post right on top of the group. So let me just show you where to find it.

Here it's pinned and here you can exchange your testimonials. You also have access to our free Coach Birth community and, and here as well you can give away coaching in exchange for testimonies. You can say, I'm looking for free people to give me honest feedback on my coaching. Here's a session, this will be the theme in one hour. I help you to do X, Y, Z, breakthrough, map out, discover, unlock, overcome, whatever, right? So there needs to be a specific tangible outcome to that session and make sure people book it here. You can also do this with emails, sending out emails for a free session. Again, we have also resources for that in Coach Growth Hub.

Where you can look into the last minute.

Promos and you just slightly need to rewrite them. But it's the same principle, email promotions to make people book a session with you.

A free session and then Leverage those testimonials. So when you also look in here, last minute sales magic, we have the pre sale one, we have calls for Christmas one which can really help you.

Just look into that. You, it's the same principle to check out. We always want to see that we get a free session booked and we want to make sure that we have those testimonials. Please, please, please start collecting them and start using them. If you already have students, what I recommend is that you do a giveaway to collect some video testimonials. Because video testimonials are infinitely more powerful even than written testimonials. So what I did was I started a Google form. So you can just come to Google form, type in Google forms.

Go to forms.

Blank. I'm just starting from blank. Okay.

Here you have video testimonial giveaway and then you'd want to modify this copy. So I just share with you what I did. The description that I had was, hey there. I'm thrilled to announce that I'm on the hunt for some amazing video testimonies, testimonials to show in my upcoming challenge ads and on my sales page. So you need to be transparent with people how you want to use them. And the best part, you have the chance to win by simply submitting your video testimonial within the next 48 hours, you'll automatically enter to win one of five Amazon gift cards worth hundred dollars each. So I think this will also work with $50. I don't think you need to give away five. Right. You can also give away free for $50. And you might think that that's a lot of money, but I swear this is so well invested. I truly value your honest opinion. So this is really important. You, this is not a bribe for somebody to hype up your program. This should be an honest feedback and you know, you have to take whatever comes back and honor it and, and you know, see how you can improve things from there. In my case, I got a lot of beautiful feedback. So there was nothing where I said, well, I wouldn't want to show this testimonial, but it's, it could have happened that I would have received a testimonial where I say, not true. If I want to carry this outside, then I would have just taken the testimonial and taken the time to make the improvements. But you would always want to ask for an honest testimonial. This is not a bribe. The only way why we incentivize this is because people will have to take the time to record it and they have to agree for you to use it for marketing purposes. So I truly value your honest opinion and I want to hear what all about your experience. So feel free to let loose and share your thoughts without holding back. Every video will enter independently from what you're saying. So I think that's really important. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity. Share your stories and possibly win. Submit your video testimonial today. Okay, so I also had within the next 48 hours, so I had a relatively short timeline. I think that's important. Collect the email address of the person and and now you would want to ask for an upload so you can come here.

And then you would want to have file upload.

Continue.

And now you would want to specify only specific file types video. And then the biggest I think you can do is now 1 gigabyte I think is the biggest you can do. Okay, so this is what you would want to have. And then when you want to share this, you can change the colors and appearance to match your branding. You can add custom color here, you can even add a banner here. And then once you're happy with it, you can say send, come here, shorten the URL and copy this link. And this is what you can distribute under your students. So this is a really, really good way for you to collect testimonials and do not do any kind of survey or quiz later on. Okay? But make this a priority. Make collecting testimonials and feedback even if it means in the beginning in exchange for free coaching. I did this a lot right it and it really helped. That was the. It was not painful even. It was actually really nice. You know what it was, I don't want to say this is the painful groundwork because it was actually really nice to see that I'm capable of helping people to get receive this feedback to grow into my shoes as a coach. It was really, really valuable. I'm so grateful I did that and I can just encourage you wholeheartedly. This will help you so much in your business. I'm now running the ads as retargeting ads as video view campaigns on the front end and they generate sales and it's just really, really beautiful for my business to have that. And it has helped me all along the way. So make this a priority. You have the tools, you have coach graph, the free community and everything you need to make this happen. Make it a priority. Thank you so much.
