We all rely so heavily on social proof these days, whether we're asking a friend for advice, reviewing testimonials, searching through Google reviews, or whatever.

We all do our background research when we are trying to find a new solution, which always makes us wonder why more solopreneurs aren't implementing this tactic in their own businesses.

In this episode, we have a full conversation about this and give our thoughts and opinions on what you should do about it.

This is a great episode if you are trying to build those reviews and testimonials and get that social proof out there. So be sure to tune in.
