Best testimonial ever (and the funniest!!)
Testimonials are great for business!
Not only do they give you a personal boost, they also provide better promotional material than any marketing copy that you write. It's far better to read and hear what others have said about someone or something than read "blah, blah" sales copy.
But have you had any testimonials that have made you laugh out loud?
Yesterday, I received an update from one of my clients before her session. She listed all her achievements, what she was on target for and what the focus for the next session was (my ideal client - ready and prepared!).
At the end she added the following:
"Feel I am beginning to make progress – I feel like I have been mentally constipated and finally everything is beginning to move! You’re the catalyst that has made it happen! (I’m not sure if you would want to be described as a the coaching/mentoring version of a laxative!)."
Now I won't disclose my client's name as I haven't asked permission to do so but I really wanted to share with you my best testimonial ever.
It just goes to show that as a coach, you are what your clients see in you rather than what you think you are. And if I am her laxative, then ... well, I had better stop this post before my wicked sense of humour offends anyone ;o)
Please add your comments but any rude ones will not be published!! :o)






It's nice to know that you can bring relief...
