  3. Ask them to send you a picture of themselves this strengthens the concept of social proof and adds authenticity and personality to the text. A picture says more than a thousand words.
  4. Go that extra mile and get some video testimonials.
  5. Make sure that you don't get too corporate and starchy. Casual, relaxed and unrehearsed ones can work just as well. Let your personality come shining through.
  6. Make sure you buy little camera for this purpose and ensure it is your must-have accessory in your handbag/laptop case. At a pinch your phone can do this!
  7. The best time to ask a client for a testimonial is when you have just completed the course for them and they are pleased with your delegate feedback.
  8. When you meet to follow-up post training, make sure you get another outcomes-based testimonial this should be based on what has changed as a result of your intervention.
  9. Ask the client for permission to request testimonials from delegates too.
  10. Research some basic tips on lighting when videoing your client wont be pleased if they look green, grey or orange on your website!
