304: Social Proof That Sells: Turn What Others Say About You Into Clients

Still trying to convince people to work with you using words alone? There’s an easier way—and it starts with proof. In this solo episode of Midlife Business Academy, Lori breaks down the power of social proof. Social proof is your quiet salesperson that builds credibility before you ever get on a call. You’ll learn how to use testimonials, reviews, collaborations, and even simple visual mentions to create the kind of trust that shortens sales cycles and attracts ready-to-buy clients. For midlife entrepreneurs, social proof isn’t just a marketing tactic - it’s your trust currency. When used well, it lets your work (and your clients) do the talking so you don’t have to keep proving yourself. Lori shares real-world examples, placement strategies that increase conversions, and a new way to think about marketing that feels aligned, not pushy.
