Humans have always used word-of-mouth recommendations in their purchasing behaviour, which is more true today than ever. There are many types of social proof used today, and they all serve to provide the confidence for the buyer to continue their buying journey.
Why stories?
Stories are the Human API.
A word-of-mouth recommendation is more than a simple comment; it would usually involve telling the story of the customer's experience. Somehow though, we’ve lost the story aspect to most of the social proof we use today. Testimonials only give the headline, and traditional case studies have evolved into the “Challenge | Solution | Outcome” paradigm because they are easier to create but are not relatable. Case studies don’t engage and are not focused on what the reader needs.
Stories vs Reviews
Unlike other types of social proof such as third party reviews, you maintain complete control over story, the messages and the next action you want your customer to take. Wizu, provides the third party authority that your prospects can rely on
