Why is a Testimonial important, at APSense or is It?
I been here at APSense for a long time, have watch many come and go, it happens part of the process....It's like the song "Still Have Not Found What I am Looking For".... but every so often you do encounter a member who has talent, desire and most of all the ability to just do it.
I be honest l was very impress with her on her first day, l did guide her on the correct direction and what she asked at the time...Wow she had it all figured out...how can you not be impressed with someone who just listened to you... If you take some time and review this member her name is Belinha Fernandes. So l decided to write her a testimonial, on her first day, never did that before...to anyone here....just fact..
When she read that testimonial she was having an off day and when she read it, it inspired her to get herself motivated and work at what she loves doing. Positive feed back is something you have to earn, with respect and most of lead like a leader...
When you take the time to appreciate what we all have here, we understand the ability to share and make each us as successful as we possibly can. You can not buy a testimonial here, if you; do it has "NO VALUE".....
So when yo looking other members profiles scrawl down and review and read the section of Testimonials, see how many they have what it say's....you know the good ones from the bad ones....but each one had a meaning.....
I am also going to post this to the APSene Blog, providing Belindha Fernandes a larger audience of net-workers who understanding Marketing at this level..

When l wrote this article l had a reason as l do today, the biggest reward we as writers can have is someone telling us how much they learned from what we wrote. Think about this,,,

I ad people I want to write a testimonial for on a list. I pick one from this list if writing a testimonial is the daily task. If my list is empty I don't write one.

Hey,
Sorry to interrupt you two, good points by the way......anyhow thank Paula, Phil, but l do agree with you Roosevelt Evans III, when they become meaningful and from the heart....with any additional links promoting themselves them you have a true mission statement from the writer who wrote you the testimonial You are right Paula you can not buy that...
It measures your abilities and talents and indicates to the other party that you have credibility and honor....can not beat that..

Sincere testimonials are good for the soul and business, both to the testimonial giver and receiver, as I see it.

I agree. What many people seem to forget is that the people they write testimonials for (for credits or other reasons) also reflects on the person who wrote them. Especially when you are very visible. Imagine you or me or one of the APSense admins promoting the owner of some ponzy scheme! It would harm all people that follow blindly without doing some research them selves and would join it. It would damage our reputation and credibility in the eyes of seasoned and knowledgeable marketers. Howev

I have received several, spamonials and testimonials that came from the hart. As for writing them myself, I only do so for people I respect and I have followed for a longer period of time. I would never write one just for credits, it is against my principles.

I notice that myself...just how some people are, no wonder they never make a dime on the internet game....Yep just keep reminding them like l do...just started to more notice, recently of how much really goes on here with that sort of "SPAM"......
Good reminder....for all members to remind a person if he or she has not notice that links have been posted as part of the Testimonial they just received...

I've sent PMs to many members telling them that such and such testimonial is spam. Most of them hadn't quite realized it, and deleted them.
There are still many members who have spam testimonials from MegaWealthX, who says everywhere "great profile, I wish you success in your business ventures", or Venue Media, who advertises something, or "page", who gives his skype ID at the end of the short text he wrote.

Thank You kindly, I am a firm believer the more testimonials you get the more credibility you are show casing. It just makes your look better and and attracts confidence to the other party who is or about to do business with you..
Been at meetings all day just got back and notice l got l few hits on this article, and more importantly some good comments that enforces what the value of a testimonial stands for. When l wrote this article l reviewed approximately 40-50 members and just focused

The testimonials do say a lot about both the people giving them and receiving them!

Nicely said Cheryl! Building relationships is the name of the game and what better way to get to know someone by the Testimonials.

Testimonials serve another purpose also when they are done right. When people are giving testimonials it is proof of relationships being built. A good testimonial with actual information about the person receiving it shows that the person giving it knows something about them. It not just let me slap this up so I can be seen situation but a case of getting to know someone and what they are about. In other words building a relationship.
The more good testimonials you have they more relation
