Learn how to use audio to collect and share powerful customer testimonials with wavve

I was at a conference in 2016 and had to pleasure to hear Dave Ramsey speak on his approach to marketing. His 1-hour keynote on being the guide, not the hero, forever changed my mindset on marketing. If you have ever listened to The Dave Ramsey Show, you know they place a huge emphasis on sharing testimonials of how his listeners have climbed out of debt.

Customer testimonials are the essence of being a guide, not a hero. No one cares how great you are. They want to hear how successful your customers have been because of you. 

While written testimonials are a great place to start, capturing an audio recording from your customer explaining how they have been successful with your product or service is extremely compelling. Audio is a medium that easily expresses emotion because it creates a direct connection between the speaker and a listener. Take a listen to this example from Indie Law (video created with Wavve). 

I absolutely love the clients that I have the privilege of working with. A great example is @ashleyjankowski of @getbraizen and @thetypesetco . It’s rare for a creative to have both a mastery in their craft(s) and a natural business mindset. Ashley has both — in spades ♠️ — and it’s allowed her to balance two thriving businesses, her family, and her entrepreneurial spirit . One of things I respect most about Ashley is her confidence in being honest with her clients. Especially when it comes to branding and design, the client isn’t always right. Often times, as business owners, we show we care most when we deliver hard truths . Thanks for being so great to work with, Ashley. It’s a pleasure and a blast to work alongside you and be a part of your journey! (@getwavve)

I love her response when asked how Indie Law’s legal assistance has helped with her business: “It’s given me… major backup“. You could build a marketing campaign just around that! By listening to the customer’s side of the story, Indie Law doesn’t have to convince us how great they are. We know they are an incredible legal service for independent entrepreneurs because of our peers told us so!

As you listen to the testimonial, you can hear how the customer feels and feel the emotions around her situation, the solution provided by Indie Law, and where she is now. 

As you can hear, audio testimonials can be powerful. Luckily, they aren’t that hard to collect and Wavve makes it easy to share audio testimonials on social media or your website. Here is how to do it.
