Seed Testimonial lead

Define

The first voice on the page is a customer's. Proof arrives before the company's claim.

Mechanism

Borrowed voice. The lead sentence is already someone else's verdict. The seller speaks second.

Verdict

The result is easier to believe from a peer than from the brand, and the named person resembles the reader.

Don't

We only have vague praise, or the witness is famous in a way that belongs under celebrity endorsement.
