Many of our prospective customers tell us that our service sounds too good to be true. What should we do?

Seriously: 1. Openly admit that most people we contact think we're a scam 2. Like
@orrdavid said, charge a fee of some kind 3. Gotta get the clients on the website :-/1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

The problem with 1 and 2 is that while it would help some deals close, it would hurt others.

I wouldn't even concede it sounds like a scam because it doesn't. If you bring it up it makes people needlessly suspicious.

We get it all the time “we thought it was a scam”, fwiw

I would bluntly explain why it's not a scam. The economics on your end are straightforward. One reason people might be suspicious is most of your employees are based in the Philippines.

Re: Philippines. That’s correct. Not making excuses, but it’s hard to broach the topic. People don’t usually say “this is a scam” then offer you an opportunity to explain why it’s not. They hang up and block you.

For your kind of service I'd try to cultivate word of mouth recommendations (maybe referral bonuses?). An article in a newspaper or trade publication could help too.

Great points. We need to get on both of these.
