How to Create Testimonials That Demonstrate Your Impact and Attract Students

THERE’S A REASON WHY AMAZON, GOOGLE AND YELP REVIEWS ARE SO POPULAR.

IT’S THE SAME REASON WHY WORD-OF-MOUTH IS STILL THE MOST VALUABLE FORM OF ADVERTISING, DESPITE ALL OF TODAY’S SOPHISTICATED TARGETING OPTIONS.

 

Before we invest in a product or service, we all want to know what people like us think and how they feel about it. It may sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread in the description, but if your mom, best friend, or neighbor had a bad experience, you’ll likely say no thanks. This same principle applies to your vocational discernment program.

 

There’s no doubt that you are a terrific advocate for your program, but you don’t need to do all the work yourself. Creating and sharing testimonials will amplify your efforts and your voice.

This 13-page guide will give you:

  • Better insight into what high school students are thinking before they attend your program.

  • A list of sample questions you can ask students when gathering testimonials.

  • Examples of testimonies we use to demonstrate our network's impact.

  • Advice and direction for collecting both written and video testimonials.

  • Tips for marketing your testimonials after they are created.

 

We've made it easy for you to collect stories that communicate your value.

 

The students who are considering your program are trying to understand their purpose, passion and calling. And your testimonials will show them how you are uniquely suited to take them from confusion to calling.
