Getting Customer Testimonials

[mmaedelins]

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what has worked for you in terms of getting written testimonials for use on your postcards, websites, etc.? Do you ask each client to fill out a form or just quote them over the phone? Do you ask each client as soon as you sign them or just ones you've been working with a long time who you know would give you a good review?

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks in advance! (just liked this smiley and never seemed to have a good place to use him... lol)

I have never asked for them and have never posted them. While I believe that some testimonials that you read on websites are accurate (Bob and others), many are completely made up. And I suspect some (not all) consumers know this as well.

Drafted in the 10 spot and got Verlander. I was happy.

I agree some are very obviously made up but I'm certainly not out to do that!

I make them up out of thin air

Verlander as your #1 pick? Booooo!!! Never waste a pick that high (10) on a starting pitcher!!!!

That depends on the settings. This league has customized settings that favor a SP. Also categories are weighted towards pitching.

Also, drafting last (10 teams), I also had the 11th pick.

Gotcha....He never would have been there for your 3rd pick.

Right. Interesting league that includes a min and man IP setting so you don't just throw a bunch of starters out there.

There is a Fantasy League for this Forum but we could only get about three owners.

Yeah, I joined up and was the 4th guy but you told me you weren't going to have it after all.

I'm in 4 leagues----1 is roto which is a good change up from head to head. It has max IP of 1400 and also has categories such as Holds that I like too.

So, as much as I love discussing how many field goals the point guard got on the baseball field yesterday , would it be okay if we got back to the topic on hand?

I understand some of you just make testimonials up but I'm not looking to do that. Any practical advice from those who have successfully gotten testimonials from real clients? Thanks!!
