Know when to ask for a video testimonial

If you have a positive interaction and your customer says thank you, it’s a good time to ask for a video testimonial. You can say something like, “Thank you for your purchase. Can I ask, is there anything about the product or our service that you’re especially happy with? We’d love to put together a short video testimonial from you.”

Prospects are more likely to give you a positive testimonial if they’ve just had a good experience with your company. Asking immediately after an interaction also makes it easy for them to remember what they liked and why. Plus, they are more likely to be in the mood to tell you about it on camera.

Make it easy for customers to say yes

When asking for a video testimonial, make sure it’s as easy as possible for the customer to say yes. This means making the process quick and simple. You can use platforms like Bonjoro to send your customers video requests for a video review and have them reply back with a video testimonial when they are ready. You can also use zoom and the platform’s native recording feature if you are on a call with a happy customer and you are inspired to ask for and collect a video testimonial.

Set goals and create a plan to achieve your goals

If you create business processes that make it easy to ask for reviews and collect them, you can set some quantifiable goals to keep track of how well the process works and make adjustments and improvements as needed. For instance, you may want to establish KPIs like this:

• Request 10 video testimonials a month
• Get 5 video testimonials edited and distributed
• Shorten the sales cycle by 1+ days by using relevant video reviews in sales presentations
• Increase leads online by 5% by integrating video testimonials in marketing materials
