Using Testimonials
How third parties help boost customer
confidence.
KO Sales Coach
KOSalesCoach.net
What is a third party testimonial?
A positive experience one
customer had with your
product / service or company
shared with another
customer.
KO Sales Coach
KOSalesCoach.net
Why is it more convincing?
Your testimonial
isn’t as convincing
because you have
something to gain.
Another customer
has nothing to gain.
They are more
believable.
KO Sales Coach

It’s effective marketing!
Even big companies like Amazon and Apple
use third party testimonials to help boost
buyer confidence.
Have you ever checked out the
Amazon reviews before
purchasing a product?

Where do you get testimonials?
From customer
conversations you
have.
From reviews left on
your website.
KO Sales Coach

Prepare

testimonials often so
you’re familiar with
them and can relate
them to your
customers.

a customer that
needs some
additional
reassurance.
