Putting together these Client Stories got me thinking. What if I offered to help YOU create stories about the great work you do?
I wanted to test it out first - was this a writing product people would want? Would they want my help to create it? What's the best way to make that happen?
So off I went in search of "beta" testers, and I found Gail Shields of All the Right Moves.
Because Gail and I met at a local Women in a Home Office networking event, we were actually able to meet in person for our writing session - what a treat!
Beta Testing
So, what was in it for Gail?
- A free 500-word Success Story with her name attached to it, all about the wonderful work she did for one of her clients
- The chance to try out my services for free
- Unlimited possibilities for the article, such as publication online or in print, as a handout at networking events and/or for her website
So, what was in for me?
- I got to test out my case study questionnaire
- Invaluable feedback from Gail about the experience
- Permission to use the story as a sample on my website
- A written testimonial from Gail:
"Linda, working with you on this success story has given me complete faith in your ability. I am especially grateful for the quick turn-around because having started the process I was really anxious to get the finished product “out there”.
Linda managed to convey the elements of the work I do, with a clear sense of the joy and pride I feel, in just one concise article. They are my words but without hours and hours of effort on my part. The process was almost too good to be true. I think having this success story will enhance my website and also provide an opportunity for increased media exposure. I know too much about my own business and can’t say it in a few words. Having someone to edit it down is extremely valuable."
