Customer Advocacy
How do I convince satisfied customers to become brand advocates?
Make it easy and make it rewarding. Most customers are happy to help if you ask the right way at the right time. The key is to have a structured program with clear benefits. I built an advocacy program for a cybersecurity company that had zero customer references and a 2.3-star G2 rating. Within 18 months, we had 85 trained advocates, 240+ positive reviews, and 28 video case studies. We also launched a customer advisory board whose feedback directly influenced the product roadmap — giving advocates a genuine sense of ownership.
