Vendors? Analysts? To answer that question, think about the process you go through when you\u2019re looking to book a holiday at a place you\u2019ve never been to before. You might first visit the property\u2019s website, but within moments you\u2019re checking out reviews on websites like TripAdvisor and reading comments on Airbnb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprisingly, many studies have shown that recommendations from people like ourselves reign supreme when it comes to driving purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B2B sales data from Salesforce corroborates this trend. It demonstrates that when it comes to lead conversion, interest that originates from customer and employee referrals do so at rates 50 times higher than email campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/blog\/2018\/06\/4-simple-exercises-to-build-your-customer-service-teams-empathy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one of the most unobtrusive, empathetic and authentic ways<\/a>&nbsp;to convert prospective buyers is to surround them with like-minded customers who love you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to know how your organisation is travelling on that front? Try this simple test. Go to Google (or your favourite search engine) and type \u201c[your company name] reviews\u201d and see what comes up. Do you see recommendations on trusted review sites? Perhaps Glassdoor reviews highlighting your innovative culture? What about your own personal social profile?
