Closer look at “SOCIAL PROOF”
“Social Proof” asks…
What do our potential clients

Power of “Social Proof”
We are Followers first, Leaders ONLY when have to
A “Group” CAN’T be wrong
There is Safety in a Tribe
Sell your Audience to your Audience

Suffocating Thought
As of couple years ago, evidence proves…
Proving you are the “Best”, or “Better” or “Biggest” is no longer a differentiator.
OUCH !!! / Why?
Because YOU are saying it
It’s only true if the WORLD say’s it so !! -Social Proof
For Revenue Generating Purposes…
Trust Trumps EVERYTHING
B.C. – 1995 Know – Like – Trust (voice = person)
1995 – Forever Trust - Know – Like – Trust (voice = pc)
Is it Better to HAVE Credibility –or-
To APPEAR to have Credibility?
Best Business Question of our time…
Question of the day so far…
“ Can the people finding your siteTrust YOU with
THEIR MONEY? ”What Proof do you give?
Only acceptable proof is“Social Proof”
Evidence shows…UnFound CREDIBILITY = UnSeen Revenue
Fact: In the U.S. we are paid in direct proportion to…
MORE SOCIAL PROOF
1/81/3.5
Who We Are can only be measured by SOCIAL PROOF
Who We Are… not What We Do or What We
Know
= MORE Credibility= MORE Revenue Allowance
