Testimonials and recommendations play a HUGE part in the TSA community and culture and it’s up to everybody within the TSA to work together as a team to help each other achieve the results we are all looking for.
If you’ve been in TSA for any length of time, you’ll have met some FANTASTIC people! Some of those people will have impacted your life, inspired you, taught you something, been there for you, and met you in person, etc…
If you truly value how the person has impacted your life, we are going to show you how to recommend the person and provide testimonials.
Why are Recommendations and Testimonials so Important?
When someone looks at your profile, visits your blog or sales page, they look around them for social proof. Who else has used this person before? Why should I buy this product, read this blog post, or join this person in business? If you take a look at this post here, you’ll see over 150 comments. That is a LOT of social proof… when people come through the 3 Step System and see how many other people are part of it, they’ll be compelled to join.
This works EXACTLY the same on your blog, website, LinkedIn profile, etc… the more recommendations, testimonials and social proof you have, the more IMPACT, credibility and authority you hold in the eyes of your prospects. It’s such an EASY thing to do and it really helps out the people who have helped you out in the past.
In the following trainings, you’ll learn how to make recommendations on LinkedIn, how to create video recommendations for your fellow colleagues and how to recommend the TSA if we’ve impacted and helped you in any way.
How to Make LinkedIn Recommendations
How to Use Video Recommendations
Video testimonials are POWERFUL! People can see the recommendation is true, honest, real, and heart felt because they can see you on camera. In the past a written testimonial on a sales letter could be ‘fake’, or that’s at least how it’s been seen. But with video, it’s hard for people to fake it because there is another person on the other end of the camera.
If you’re scared or nervous of video, that’a absolutely fine… this is the PERFECT opportunity for you to get out of your comfort zone and reach out to a person who’s helped you out and record a heart felt message to them to encourage other people to work with them.
As long as you are honest, real and talk about the specific results or benefits you received by taking this persons trainings, or working with them etc, then the video will be perfect…
Just go for it, it will really help the other person out 
and you’ll get 25 points for it! (But, don’t just do it for the points!)
How to Create TSA Blog Post Recommendations
If you feel we as individuals or at TSA have helped you out in any way, and the people who read your blog would benefit from what TSA has to offer, then please write about us and tell others about your experiences.
Specificity is the key when you are writing/recording a video testimonial or recommendation. If your traffic levels have increased by x amount, or you are now getting 17 blog comments on your blog, then be specific! The more specific you can be in the results you get, the more people believe what you are saying…
Anyone can say I’m getting 500 visitors to my blog and 20 blog comments, but many people just think it’s hype. BUT… if you say, I’m now getting 497 visitors per week and 17 blog comments on my posts, it’s much more believable… (Just make sure it’s true!)
