In this short but powerful episode, Kelly breaks down the five most important ways you should be using client results, wins, and testimonials to drive authority, visibility, and sales in 2026.

With a trust recession impacting every corner of the online business space, consumer confidence is at an all-time low, which means your clients' voices now matter more than your own.

Kelly explains how the brands that continue to grow in 2026 will be the ones who put results front and center and use social proof intentionally across all channels.

You'll learn:

• Why fewer online marketers shared wins in 2025

• The core mistakes most businesses make with testimonials

• The 5 strategic placements to use wins for maximum impact

• How to operationalize social proof into weekly marketing

• How to turn books into passive funnels for trust-building offers

Plus: Kelly shares how her team transformed their approach to social proof this year — and why doubling down on client results became one of the most profitable decisions they made.
