You’ve probably been in this situation before…

You’re out for lunch and you see two restaurants — one packed with customers and one that is practically empty. Naturally, your instincts tell you to pick the restaurant with more customers. If everyone goes there, it must be good, right?

This “I’ll have what she’s having” reaction is called social proof — the most powerful of six hardwired mental shortcuts humans use to make quick decisions. The universal appeal of social proof makes it a highly effective tool when it comes to writing a persuasive website. Here’s how…

Social proof unlocks our natural biases

We humans are a skeptical lot. We’re also pretty unwilling to take a risk on anything new. It’s safer to stick with what we know. These biases to mistrust and inaction are bad news for businesses. Our potential clients are looking for an excuse to keep doing what they’re doing. They’re looking for an excuse not to believe we can deliver on our promises.

And they don’t trust us more when we throw around empty claims about being “passionate” or the “leading” or “fastest-growing” business in our area.

How do you build the trust that leads to action?

Making magnificent promises is easy. The hard part is getting a cynical, ad-weary audience to believe that you can deliver on those promises. If you want to build trust and generate leads, you have to back up what you say. And social proof is one of the most potent forms of evidence you can use. Because we’re lazy about making decisions, we’re more likely to do something if we can piggy back on someone else’s decisions and experience. That’s social proof — someone has already tried something we haven’t. And they’ve lived to tell.

Isn’t social proof just testimonials?

Done right, social proof is a silent salesman that subtly nudges your prospects’ decision-making process and increases sales. But it takes more than just inserting a few positive reviews on your website and calling it a day.

First, there are more forms of social proof than testimonials and reviews — forms of social proof you can be weaving throughout your marketing to break down resistance and generate action.

Second, there’s more to using testimonials than throwing up a customers saying, “This team was fun to work with”. Those sorts of testimonial are sweet and they don’t hurt, but they’re not keys in locks. And that’s what we’ll show you in our masterclass — how to use a testimonial like a key turning in a lock.
