The Value of Personal Testimonials


The Value of Personal Testimonials

by Pete Zdanis


Sincere personal testimonials are not easy to earn, but their value is immeasurable when it comes to showing your prospects what they can expect by associating themselves with you.
Make it your goal to first earn testimonials from your associates and clients, and then ask them to write a short testimonial for you.

Then, share those testimonials with your prospects.

I can personally assure you that your USANA business will flourish as a result of your efforts.

You will also find it to be a humbling experience, which will drive you to further, and better, serve others.

One final tip: Save the best testimonials for last. - Pete
