Today's guest is John Hubbard is a master at overcoming the fear of asking for testimonials. He understands the importance of these endorsements but also recognizes the hesitancy that people have in reaching out for them. John has witnessed firsthand the reasons behind this reluctance, such as the fear of imposing on clients or the belief that they are already paying for the service. However, John firmly believes that businesses that consistently deliver results for their clients often fail to receive testimonials simply because they don't ask. To address this issue, John has developed several techniques to help others overcome this hurdle. By implementing some of these strategies, businesses can see a significant influx of testimonials, thereby transforming their reputation and success.

They delve into the importance of reciprocity, making the testimonial process easy for participants, and the strategy of reaching out multiple times. They also touch on the challenges of conducting video interviews, specifying quantifiable results in testimonials, and the struggles of scheduling and remembering appointments. Additionally, they explore the fear of asking for help, the significance of ideal results and measurements of success, and tips for creating high-quality testimonial videos.
