Prepared for Zamp · August 2026 · Built from public data only
8 of Zamp's customers are already selling for you. Almost nobody can see them.
Your customers are advocating for Zamp right now, with or without you. We audited the public record of it: every champion named and sourced, and a model of what their voices are worth in feeds and AI answers. The audit is free. What it sets up is the decision below: whether to turn this into a channel you actually run.
On the public record03 / 03Why this audit exists, and what happens when you claim it
Nobody has to sell you on word of mouth. It is the strongest voice in your market, and the people quoted above are proof it is already working for Zamp, with or without you. Belief was never the problem.
Until now there has been no way to manage and amplify customer voice without ruining what makes it credible: assignment platforms turn it into advertising, portals turn it into homework. So at most companies the channel runs itself, by accident. The audit quantifies what that accident is worth at Zamp, champion by champion, with sources.
Champions enrolled, speaking on their own terms, measured, and paid fairly. Organic by design: we never assign content or set quotas, because the moment you do, buyers can tell. We build it with you, or you run it on the platform. The audit is step one, and it is yours free either way.
The best finds
What the public record says, and what it leaves on the table
Every claim below is public and footnoted. This is the teaser; the full audit carries the complete record.
Champions already on the record
Named executives are publicly endorsing Zamp, in their own words, on pages anyone can check. They cleared legal, went on record, and would say it again.
A loud brand, a silent customer bench
Zamp's feed is working: launches, press, real attention. But the voice buyers discount least, the customer's, appears in none of it. The advocacy channel is running unowned, growing or stalling by accident.
The feed your buyers read, and the answers AI gives them
B2B evaluation now starts in feeds and AI assistants. The Meltwater and LinkedIn study of 9.5 million AI citations shows the cited voices are overwhelmingly people, not brands. Whoever owns the credible customer voice in a category owns the shortlist conversation.
So you can
Turn your best marketing channel into something you can measure, predict, and grow.
Your customers become your best salespeople: real users telling their peers, in their own words, why they chose Zamp. That is Advocacy-Led Growth, and it makes your highest quality channel measurable and predictable instead of accidental. Word of mouth always had the credibility. What it never had was infrastructure. Kindling helps you build the system for it.
Start with Zamp's free audit →Champions already on record
A teaser from the full audit. Every name is public, every quote is verbatim, and every claim links to its source.
“We didn’t have a good sense of sales tax. It was really valuable to us to have a trusted partner in Zamp that we could just fully go to and trust for all things sales tax.”
“Time is money. Your time is so much better spent doing your job and what you’re great at versus trying to do sales tax.”
“Zamp has really gone above and beyond. Becky and your onboarding department are just amazing. She really helped me. She was answering emails late at night, early in the morning, really doing everything to get us on board. It was like a night and day experience versus our last sales tax provider.”
Why now
Zamp's LinkedIn feed already carries attention from investors, partners, and the brand itself. What is missing is recurring customer voice in that same feed. You already know word of mouth is the best advertising there is; the difference between having it and running it as a channel is a system. Champions activated while the spotlight is on compound every dollar of attention the brand is earning. [source]
What activation looks like
A first ninety days, sized for a lean team
Consolidate the scattered proof
Every quote, post, and endorsement pulled into a single champion bench with sources.
Enroll the advocates already speaking
A program gives willing customers a cadence, a reason, and recognition. Their words, their feeds.
Measure what leadership sees
Reach into the accounts still deciding, tracked per champion and per post, in terms a board trusts.
Claim your full audit
The full audit is not more information. It is the case file for one decision: is this channel worth systematizing at Zamp, and what would that take? Leave your name and work email; we verify the request, then send the PDF. Nothing is auto-delivered.
If you do nothing else
Ask the customers already on record to tell their networks why they chose Zamp. Their words, their feeds, once a month.
That advice is free and it works without us. Kindling exists for what comes after: tracking it, measuring it, and paying advocates fairly at scale.
