Marketing and sales team reviewing customer testimonials and reviews collected with Boast

Why feedback matters

Why customer feedback matters for marketing and sales

  • Social proof

    Prospects are more likely to do business with organizations their peers already use. Showcasing testimonials and reviews puts social proof to work for closing more sales.

  • Build trust

    Compelling reviews and testimonials prove you deliver on your promises and that past customers will vouch for you. Video takes this further with an unmatched level of authenticity.

  • Understand your customers

    The right feedback process uncovers the thoughts, fears and behaviors of your customers. The more you know, the better you can target and acquire more of them.

Three kinds of proof

How marketing and sales teams use customer feedback

  • Customer surveys

    Surveys show you what your target market looks like, how they think and talk, and what they care about. That's the raw material for getting in front of the right audience and crafting messaging that makes prospects act.

    Customer survey software
  • Online reviews

    85% of consumers read up to 10 reviews before feeling they can trust a business. Your review presence on Google, Facebook and Yelp can make or break your marketing and sales efforts.

    Online review management
  • Video testimonials

    Video establishes trust in a way text reviews don't. Real customers raving about you on your website and social channels is one of the most effective ways to prove your value.

The plan

Proof as a system, not a quarterly project

Boast is a single tool for all of your customer feedback needs. Requests go out automatically, customers respond from any device, and approved proof lands where prospects decide.

Doing it by hand

  • Emailing a few friendly customers each quarter and hoping someone replies
  • Videos that arrive shaky, silent or rambling, and sit unused
  • A designer or editor needed before anything can be posted
  • Case studies buried in a PDF nobody downloads
  • Sales decks with the same three quotes from 2019

With Boast

  • Email and SMS sequences ask every customer at the right moment and follow up
  • Guided Prompts walk customers through a complete story on camera
  • Auto Captions make every approved video ready to post
  • Widgets put fresh proof on your pricing page, landing pages and social feed
  • Reps pull the right testimonial by product, location or persona in seconds

Guided Prompts New

Customers tell the story your prospects need to hear.

The best testimonial covers the problem, the choice and the result. Guided Prompts put those questions on the customer's screen one at a time while they record, so marketing gets a complete story instead of “um… they're great.”
  • Templates for testimonials, case studies and UGC
  • Ask about the objection your prospects raise most
  • Works on any phone or laptop, no app required

Auto Captions New

Every video arrives ready for the feed, captions included.

Most social video plays on mute. Boast burns accurate captions into every approved testimonial, so your proof works with the sound off and needs zero editing before it goes live.
  • Captions styled to stay readable on any background
  • Download the captioned video or a separate subtitle file
  • Publish approved testimonials to Facebook automatically

What it costs to wait

Prospects compare you on trust before they compare you on features.

  • Deals lost to worse products

    A competitor with visible proof looks safer than you, even when you're better. Silence reads as risk.

  • Longer sales cycles

    Without proof on the page, every rep rebuilds trust from zero on every call.

  • Campaigns built on guesses

    Without survey data you're writing messaging about what you think customers care about, not what they told you.

  • A review profile you didn't choose

    Unhappy customers post unprompted. Happy ones wait to be asked. Ask, or your rating won't reflect reality.
