Literally show proof that you HAVE\ngotten real results for other real people, who had the same problem you have! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone buys a product or a service, they are buying\ntheir &#8216;after state&#8217;. When they come to you, they are in their &#8216;before state&#8217;.\nThey have a need or a problem, and they want your product or service to bring\nthem into a more desirable state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>before: feeling upset with leaking hole in roof<\/li><li>after: feeling secure with peace of mind<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>before: hungry but don&#8217;t want to get fat<\/li><li>after: ate delicious food and did not consume too many calories<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the trick is&#8230; how can you capture this &#8216;after state&#8217;\nand put it on your website? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THAT is the question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everyone can do this. It takes some creativity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re selling a book that tells you how to 10x your\nsales and revenues. Then you can show screen shots of your client&#8217;s sales\nstatistics. Or screen shots of orders if it is an e-commerce store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a contractor, it is pretty simple! You show photo\nor video of the house before (with the damage or issue), and then, after: all\nnice, fixed and beautiful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a personal trainer, piece of CAKE! (not cake\nthough, because that\u2019s off-limits). A photo of the client, out of shape, and\nsad, and then a photo of the client, fit and happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, these are easy, but what if you&#8217;re a bookkeeper? Can you\neven leverage this point? Well, how about this: Before: a photo of a receipts\nand random pages, and confusion, with a text label superimposed on the photo: I\ndon&#8217;t know what I owe! To an after photo, of very nicely arranged folders and\npages, with a text label &#8216;I know exactly what I owe and how much I&#8217;m\nowed!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever it is, find a customer and find a way to capture a\nphoto or video or some evidence of the before state, and then the after state,\nand THEN put it on your website. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What better way can you show that you are not only real and trustworthy, but also can GET results?
