🚀 Module 13: Credibility Assets
Bio, headshots, testimonials, and logos — built into a trust stack that converts.
2. Why It Matters
People buy clarity and confidence. Credibility assets make prospects feel safe choosing you. A concise bio, professional imagery, and specific testimonials reduce friction, increase conversion, and align your message everywhere clients find you.
When these are consistent across your website, booking links, and outreach, you’ll see higher response rates, better show-up rates, and faster “yes” decisions.
3. Step-by-Step Guide
Draft a 3-layer bio (short, medium, long)
Create: (a) 1-sentence tagline, (b) 75–100 word intro, (c) 150–200 word story. Emphasize outcomes (who you help + result) over credentials alone.
Capture clean headshots (phone is fine)
Stand near a window, face the light, neutral background, shoulder-up framing. Take 10–15 shots; pick 2: one smiling, one focused.
Collect 3–5 outcome-based testimonials
Ask past clients specific, measurable questions (before/after, timeframe, what changed). Keep each to 2–4 sentences with a first name, role, or city.
Create a simple, versatile logo
Design a clean wordmark plus a small icon/badge. Export light, dark, and transparent PNGs. Keep it readable at 24–32px sizes.
Assemble a trust stack panel for your site
Combine bio snippet, headshot, 3 testimonials, and partner logos into one section on your homepage and booking page.
Organize a “Credibility Kit” folder
Create a single folder with /Bio, /Headshots, /Testimonials (text + images), /Logos, /Press. Keep file names clean and consistent.

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Vague bios. Instead of “I help everyone with health,” say “I help postpartum moms restore energy and lose 10–15 lbs in 90 days.”
- Generic testimonials. Instead of “She was great,” use “Lost 12 lbs, slept 1 hour more nightly, HbA1c down 0.5 in 8 weeks.”
- Overdesigned logos. Instead of complex graphics, use a clean wordmark that reads clearly at small sizes.
- Inconsistent images. Instead of random selfies, use 1–2 consistent, well-lit headshots across all platforms.
- Assets scattered everywhere. Instead of hunting files, keep a single, named “Credibility Kit” folder with versions.
6. Quick Win Highlight
💡 Quick Win: Post a client win (with permission) + your 1-sentence bio under it on your most active platform. Add a single CTA: “Want this result? Book a free consult.”
Reuse the same post on your website’s homepage and booking link description for instant consistency.
