Current Practices

Many companies rely on these common methods:

  • Connecting buyers with the same “best customer” for references repeatedly
  • Encouraging buyers to seek recommendations from their network
  • Showcasing testimonials and awards on the company website
Why These Methods Fall Short
  1. It feels inauthentic: Using the same customers for references, often with incentives, can make the process feel scripted and impersonal.
  2. It creates network noise: When buyers reach out to their networks, they often receive a mix of responses, including potentially negative feedback from churned or unhappy customers.
  3. It lacks credibility: Marketing-crafted testimonials and incentivized reviews (e.g., $25 for a G2 review) may not reflect genuine customer experiences.
A Better Approach
To improve the buyer experience, consider these strategies:
  1. Leverage customer influence: Tap into the power of word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied customers to their peers.
  2. Guide prospects to happy customers: When prospects attempt to backchannel, steer them towards genuinely satisfied users.
  3. Gain insights: Learn which prospects are back-channeling and what concerns they’re expressing.
Implementation Steps
  1. Build your fan database: Utilize a platform like Fanbaseai.com to create and manage a network of satisfied customers.
  2. Optimize your website: Implement tools like thatsnoble.com to connect website visitors with your fan network.
  3. Empower your sales team: Provide your sellers with access to FanGPT, enabling them to find the best customer matches for prospect
Conclusion

By adopting this approach, you can create a more authentic and effective way to connect prospects with happy customers. This strategy not only improves the buyer experience but also leverages the power of genuine customer satisfaction to drive sales.
