If you’re anything like me, you understand that testimonials are an incredible way to market your business. And you also know that it can be a struggle to ask for testimonials without sounding awkward.
But it doesn’t have to be!
>>If you show up and serve your audience well, they will become your biggest advocates.<<
With the following methods, you’ll be able to easily collect testimonials for your business…and use them online for success!
>>Ask previous clients for their permission to use compliments they have already said to you.<<
When I first started my photography business, my clients would send me an email or text message after a shoot telling me how much fun they had working with me and how much they loved their photos.
After I came down from cloud nine (hearing praises makes my heart soar), I would respond and ask if I could share those kind words on my website.
And you know what?
Everyone said YES!
For me, I didn’t feel awkward in this situation. I was able to show my gratitude and ask a favor, so it was easy for them to agree to it because they had already said it!
Easy peasy!
>>Ask clients to share their thoughts in a short video describing their experience.<<
When you’re working with clients face-to-face, ask if they would be willing to have you record a 20-second video of them discussing their experience working together.
Ask simple questions, such as:
Short videos like this require no additional work or commitment from your clients, so most will be happy to do it!
Bonus: video testimonials can be transcribed into text and can be used in a variety of ways!
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
>>Ask clients if you can set up a video call and record their responses to simple questions you ask.<<
Set up a short, five-minute call and ask the same questions as you would if you were face-to-face with your client. Record their responses and use the video or transcribed text as a testimonial.
Easy peasy!
Once you have testimonials, share them online as much as possible:
