Business Testimonial Feed Service

Are you taking advantage of your what your current customers are saying about your business? At Trusteria Services, we offer an online testimonial service that helps you do that. By using a 3rd party service provider, the creditability of your testimonials is drastically enhanced.

We use a cloud based system which means that we make it very easy for you and your staff to make changes and updates.

Here is how it works:

1) When you sign up, our staff will contact you and help you along the way. We begin getting your company information and set up a profile on our system which stores the testimonials.

2) Next, we provide you with a one-time web code to directly feed the Testimonials to your company's website. This also helps keep your website updated with no further programming.

3) We will then work with your staff and teach them how to use the various tools we offer to not only get testimonials from your clients, but also to use them with prospective clients.

4) At Trusteria Services, service is very important. The staff assigned to you will monitor your account, periodically contact you about testimonials that need to be approved, assess the process you are using in your business, and offer ways to enhance the service.

Full Customer Support: Our staff will assist you with getting your business started, as well as training your staff how to request testimonials from your clients using our system.

Here is a sample of a live testimonial feed from one of our clients. You can also see what it looks like on their website at Gandy Printers

Q. Why should I get people to leave a testimonial?

A. Studies have proven that one of the biggest mistakes a business makes is not staying in touch with past clients. By asking for a testimonial, you have reached out to that person again which may lead to future business. You should also use these testimonials when talking to potential clients and supporters. Note:Searchenginepeople.com reports that 90% of online consumers trust recommendations from people they know; 70% trust unknown users (people they don't know, not anonymous), 27% trust experts, 14% trust advertising, 8% trust celebrities (Econsultancy, July 2009, Erik Qualman, Socialnomics)

Q. How does the feed system work?

A. Our staff will work with your web designers to add a (one-time) string of code. Once the code is added, your testimonials (the latest 5) will be automatically fed to your website. This keeps the page fresh as testimonials are added.

Q. How do I get people to leave a testimonial for my business?

A. Our staff will work with you and your staff on the different ways to gather testimonials using our system.

Q. Can anyone post a testimonial?

A. Yes, but it is limited to one person, per profile, per e-mail address, in a 6 month period of time.

Q. Does a customer testimonial post automatically?

A. No. The testimonial will be sent to you and you can either approve it (once approved, it posts to your profile) or decline it. If declined, the testimonial disappears. This is not a business review site, but rather an information resource for people to see the great testimonials from their neighbors.

Q. How do I get the word out about my testimonials?

A. It is important that your sales staff is using the testimonials when talking to prospects. You can also take advantage of the social media share options that are available with each testimonial.

Q. How important is it to "Share" the testimonials on the social media sites?

A. In a survey, only 14% of consumers indicated that they trust advertisements while 78% of respondents trust peer recommendations. Peer recommendations are becoming increasingly easy to solicit or find via social media sites. Just think about how often you see a Facebook friend, Twitter follower or a connection on another social networking site express how they feel about a movie, restaurant, product or service.(Source:www.gettingstartedwithfacebookforbusiness.com, 2011)

Q. What other ways can testimonials help my business?

A. It is always a good idea to get your staff involved. Not only are they usually the frontline people at your business but it also helps with staff morale. Read the testimonials at staff meetings and include them in any company communications.

Q. Do I only need to use the testimonials on the website?

A. Absolutely not, it is always a great idea to use them in newsletters, mailings and any contact you have with current customers and prospective customers. Our staff will help you find the most effective way for your business.

Q. Do you have a referral program?

Yes, if you know other businesses that would benefit from our services, please go to our Referral Program for more information.
