No testimonials. When you're just starting out, you know your product is amazing\u2014but your customers don\u2019t. And without social proof, it's hard for new buyers to feel confident putting your food in their cart (or their bodies). In this episode, I share a simple, repeatable strategy to jumpstart your testimonials\u2014even with zero reviews. And yes, it involves giving away product strategically to build the kind of trust that drives sales. You\u2019ll learn:   Why testimonials are one of your biggest marketing levers   The catch-22 most beginner farmers fall into (and how to break it)   A simple script + 5-step plan to get your first reviews fast   What to ask for (written, photo, video, or all 3!)
