It sucks in your customers like a vacuum.<\/p>\n<p>And in many cases, you may use a testimonial higher up in the copy, in order to keep your customer locked into your copy. But how do you choose (or construct) a testimonial that turns the vacuum up to full suction power?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nLet&#8217;s look at an example, shall we?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Headline example: Do you hate selling? Do you wish you could shake off the used-car salesman feeling?<br \/>\n(Simple Step by Step Sales Strategies Guaranteed to bring you more clients fast&#8211;and without the rejection)<\/p>\n<p>If a testimonial followed this headline, what would that testimonial look like?<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nChoose One out of three<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) I found your sales course to be outstanding. We were able to get more clients instantly. Our sales went up by 33% right away.<\/p>\n<p>2) Our sales went up by 33% immediately after applying just two of the concepts mentioned in your course. Outstanding! I&#8217;m going to recommend you to our entire sales division.<\/p>\n<p>3) I used to feel like a used-car salesman, and I&#8217;ve left many a deal on the table in the past. After doing your course, I no longer my mindset changed completely, increasing sales by 33% in a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goodonya if you chose No.3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, goodonya, but pay close attention. The headline is the problem. You may have brought about the solution in the problem, but if you&#8217;re going to use a testimonial, make darned sure that you have at least one, if not more than one testimonial that tackles the &#8216;used car syndrome.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nWhy bother?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ll tell you why. The headline was your core attractor, right? The biggest reason the customer is listening to you\/reading your material, is because they wanted to shake the &#8216;used car syndrome. They could have wanted to increase sales. They could have wanted to work with difficult customers; or wanted just about anything to do with sales.<\/p>\n<p>But no, they chose to read your headline. The headline with the &#8216;used car&#8217; syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>Which means they&#8217;re interested in what? You got it: The &#8216;used car&#8217; syndrome. And testimonial No.3 tackles that objection and demonstrates that your course is an exact fit for the person reading the page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Of course it goes without saying<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ll say it anyway. The bullets in your copy need to have the &#8216;used car&#8217; syndrome. The closing of your copy needs to have some variation of the &#8216;used car&#8217; syndrome. The customer got involved with the &#8216;used car&#8217; syndrome.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t deviate.
