I believe that testimonials can really help you build your credibility as a business owner. Most especially now that people always think that they can't trust anybody unless they get enough proof to support the quality of a particular product or service.
Hi, When taking that approach you should ask yourself, why other businesses are not serving that niche? Is the market in that niche, big enough to sustain your business? Your approach can and does work, but you should ask yourself those questions, before pursuing a particular niche.

Hi! I started having my business after I was duped by a client of mine when I was working with a Japanese company believing him that I can be his partner and he will fund the business that he proposed to me. Months after I knew his real trait and intention, I got out from company and decided to build my own. Now it has been few years since I have already started my own biz. For me, what is important is the right mindset, right attitude and PERSISTENCE. Tips that I want to share that you need to have: 1. Good Sales Strategy - Keeping a customer is much easier than getting a new one. 2. Good Customer Service Support - How would you retain a customer if your support sucks? 3. Good Sales Funnel - Multiple relevant products are promoted along the way. There are plentiful tips but as I mentioned you earlier, the most important things are:right mindset, right attitude and PERSISTENCE.
Any new business must make a business plan so that it is understood what is required to get your business started, what your intentions are for the future and your expectations. The costs you are likely to face and the funds you have to deal with all the required financial concerns. Your business plan should look to the future, perhaps with a 1 year, 5 year and 10 year outline of what your business expects to achieve within that period. If you are required to obtain funds to start your business you will be required to provide a business plan to the Lending institution and this also shows your commitment and thought processes for your intended business and its success.
