What is inside this template

  • A 5-slide arc that turns one client win into a soft pitch: skeptic hook, reframe, the quote, a stacked proof list, and a comment-to-DM close.
  • Bracketed slots for the parts only you can fill: [client name], their exact words, and two more one-line results.
  • A pre-built proof list slide so a single testimonial never has to carry the whole deck.
  • A ready CTA slide wired to the keyword PROOF, so the comment trigger and the DM follow-up already line up.

How to customize it

  1. Pick your loudest win

    Choose the client whose before-and-after a stranger would recognize. Drop their name into slide 1 and the doubt they had before they bought into the slide 2 reframe.

  2. Paste the quote raw

    Copy the client's actual message into slide 3 without cleaning it up. Typos and casual phrasing read as real; polished marketing copy reads as fake.

  3. Stack two more results

    Fill the slide 4 list with two short wins that each include a number, then keep the line that tells the reader those clients started exactly where they are now.

  4. Match the trigger word

    Keep the keyword PROOF or swap it everywhere it appears, then pre-write the DM you send so commenters get the extra results and the next step within a minute.

Example: the formula filled in

A postpartum fitness coach opens with "I almost didn't sign up. I'm so glad I did." from Dana, a mom of two. Slide 3 is Dana's unedited message: "I thought I had no time and my back was wrecked, but I'm doing real workouts in 20 minutes and slept through the night for the first time in months." The list slide stacks two more moms (one down a jeans size in six weeks, one off her knee brace), and the deck closes with comment PROOF to get the full before-and-afters plus how to start.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

I only have one solid testimonial. Can I still use this?
Yes. Lead with that one on slide 3 and replace the list-slide bullets with a related result of your own or a screenshot detail. The arc still works with a single named win; the list just adds weight when you have it.
Do I need the client's permission to post their words?
Get a quick yes before publishing, especially if you name them or show a screenshot. A one-line 'mind if I share this win?' is enough, and most happy clients are glad to say yes.
Why route to DMs instead of dropping a link?
The comment-to-DM step filters for people actually curious about results, and it lets you send tailored proof for their situation, which converts far better than a cold link in the caption.
