Asking for a Testimonial

So you want to add testimonials but wonder how to go about asking for them? Great news, testimonials are happening around you every day! The key is to recognize them when they come your way. Let’s add a touch of elegance to make this process feel seamless and empowering.

Grateful email messages:

"Thank you so much for..." (This is a wonderful opportunity to turn heartfelt appreciation into a beautiful testimonial.)

Social media love:

"You are the best! Keep up the great..." (When someone shares this kind of love publicly, it’s a perfect moment to kindly ask if you can share their kind words.)

Handwritten thank you notes:

"I just wanted to let you know that it’s been great working with you." (When someone takes the time to write their appreciation, it’s an authentic endorsement that is perfect for sharing with others.)

In-person gratitude:

"You’ve been so helpful..." (A heartfelt thank you in person can be the starting point for a wonderful testimonial. Let them know how much their words mean to you.)

Any time someone expresses their appreciation, whether online, in writing, or face to face you have the foundation of a testimonial. You just need to give it a little gentle encouragement.

Here’s the real secret: Testimonials are like blossoms, they grow naturally, but sometimes they need a little nurturing. Next time you receive one of these lovely notes of appreciation, consider replying with a warm thank you and a gentle ask, such as:

"I’m so happy that you had a great experience. Your words mean so much to me! Would you be comfortable if I shared this as a testimonial? It would really help others who might be considering working with me."

Or, with a touch of warmth and sincerity:

"Thank you so much! Your kind words truly made my day. Would you mind if I shared this with others? I’d love for more people to know about the positive experience you had."

Spotting testimonials and gently encouraging them can turn everyday moments of gratitude into powerful soci

al proof that elevates your credibility. It’s all about capturing those natural moments and, with a touch of elegance and sincerity, transforming them into something that helps others see the value you bring.

So, go forth with confidence, and watch those testimonials blossom effortlessly and beautifully.

I believe in YOU!
