		<description>Kevin,
Good reminder of the power of stories. Organizations so often focus on promoting their products and services that they forget the value in having testimonials or case histories that essentially feature others promoting their products and services. It&#039;s a subtle but powerful difference.

Good post.

		<description>On my site I found a huge difference in response rates once I put up success stories in the form of a testimonial page.

The sign-ups doubled overnight after I put up that page. All it took was a little persuasion to convince the window-shoppers to optin for a longer look.

My next project is to add audio to some testimonials (along with photos). I&#039;m sure optins will increase again as they listen to personalized success stories from the horse&#039;s mouth.</description>
