Social proof
Evidence that people like the reader already use and value something, such as testimonials, reviews or customer counts.
Say it to an AI
Social proof section for clinic owners on the pricing page: two stat cards with exact numbers (2,400 clinics, 38% fewer no-shows in 90 days) and one testimonial with full attribution, where the customer describes a measurable before-and-after in her own words. No vague superlatives.
How an expert would brief the stronger version of “Customer proof section”.
See it
Try it as a puzzle →A section on the pricing page of Bookwell, appointment-booking software for dental and physio clinics.
Why: Both sections try it, but only A's '2,400 clinics' and the named dentist's quote give the reader something real to trust.

Cold email to Tidewell's head of ops, under 60 words. Lead with relevance: their 10–14 day refunds, then one line of social proof (Loomwear, 3 days, 40% fewer tickets), then a low-effort ask for a 15-minute call. No company intro, no buzzwords.
