High-Impact Testimonial Template and Release Form

Getting a bad review is painful. The best way to drown out that bad review is to have many strong reviews. We all know there are people out there who feel entitled and will say anything to get out of paying a bill or to retaliate for something they don't understand. This means most peeps get it when they see one "off" review among many good ones.?

Let's get you set up for success right now.?

When to Ask for a Testimonial

Ask your client for a testimonial when they're happiest. This may not be at the end of the case. Ask immediately after they've expressed excitement. For example, you've gotten something they want, ask right then.?

How to Collect High-Impact Testimonials

When you ask a client for a testimonial, here's a check list of questions to give them for guidance. Most people are not strong writers nor knowledgeable about writing testimonials. To make the most out of this opportunity, give them this template.?

Substitute "Anna" with your name. (I know you know that!)?

1. Why did you choose to work with Anna?

2. How did Anna help you?

3. What was your life like before you worked with Anna; what is it like now?

4. How would you describe Anna?

5. What problems does or did Anna solve for you?

6. What results did Anna get for you?

7. How would you describe how Anna helps people like you?

8. How did working with Anna make you feel?

Real Life Result

Here are testimonials a client of mine received:

“When I worked with Anna, I felt that she cared as much about protecting my mother as I did.?And with that level of comfort and trust, that’s all I really needed to know.”

“Working with Anna has made me feel much calmer and confident. I know that she truly cares about me, and she is doing her utmost to help me through this difficult legal process.”

“Anna has given me the confidence that I can put my situation in her capable hands - that has helped me to sleep better at night. To know that Anna is totally in my corner and working diligently on my behalf, has certainly reduced the stress I was feeling.”

“Anna is a dedicated attorney who is caring, intelligent, professional, and what I would call a "firecracker"! You'd want her on your side!”

Wouldn't you love to have these testimonials. The result is gorgeous!!?
