What is one of the first things you do when you are considering buying a new product?
If you are anything like me, you read the reviews. And then you check to make sure the reviews are real and verified and not something the seller made up so their product sounds good.
This is what a verified review looks like (from my website). :)
Ideally, you want to launch your PWJ with 10 or more 5 star reviews.
This will help people have confidence in your product and ultimately make a buying decision.
So how do you get 10 reviews when you haven’t sold your product yet?
I dive into all of this in the Marketing and Selling bonus module of the Planner Academy including how to make sure the reviews you get show up as real and verified so people trust them and your product.
At a high level, you want to:
- Identify and leverage your super fans
- Get digital feedback and reviews (they are 2 different things)
- Do a pre-sales event
- Include pre-sale bonus incentives
- Share reviews on your website / sales page
Reminder that when you join the Planner Academy you get both the core curriculum and all of the amazing bonuses like the Sales and Marketing modules, Planner in 90 Days Checklist, Build Your Partner Team Resources including Printer Guide and more.
