A few words about working with us

Thanks for agreeing to this. Four short questions, answered out loud. Say it the way you'd tell a colleague.

A working demo. Recordings stay in your browser and nothing is sent.

The questions

  1. 1

    What was going on before you worked with us?

    The before. Without it, the after doesn't mean much.

  2. 2

    Why did you pick us over the other options?

    This is the part future customers want to hear.

  3. 3

    What changed afterwards? Give an example.

    Ask for an example, not an adjective. "We stopped losing leads" beats "great service".

  4. 4

    Can we use your name and this recording on our website?

    You get their permission on the record, in their own voice.

On the free plan, use 1, 3 and 4. The questions work in any form tool too.

  1. 1. What was going on before you worked with us?

    My books were a box of receipts, and I filed my taxes late three years in a row.

  2. 2. Why did you pick us over the other options?

    0:38

    You answered my email the same day and told me the price before I had to ask.

  3. 3. What changed afterwards? Give an example.

    1:05

    I filed on time this year for the first time. You also found I'd been overpaying my quarterly taxes for two years.

  4. 4. Can we use your name and this recording on our website?

    0:06

    Yes, use my name and the recording.

Answers with details
Typed testimonials get trimmed to one safe sentence. A spoken answer keeps the details, and you choose the lines to quote from the transcript.
A recording you can publish
SendMyVoice keeps the answers as audio, so you can share the recording as a link or play it on your website.
Private or public link
Each customer can get a private link, so every testimonial arrives under the right name. One public link works for a newsletter or your website.

Questions

What questions should I ask for a testimonial?

Ask what things were like before, why they chose you, and what changed, with an example. Then ask for permission to publish.

How do I ask a client for a testimonial?

Ask soon after a good result, send one short link, and say where you'll use it. Four spoken answers take a few minutes.

Is a voice testimonial easier to get than a video?

Video asks people to be on camera. Voice needs a phone and a quiet minute.

Can I collect testimonials from one public link?

Yes. Each form has one public link with a cap on answers and a close date, and it can ask for a name and email. On Pro, the same form works as a widget on your website.
