The biggest reason companies don't have testimonials is simple: they forget to ask.
Or they ask, get ignored, and feel too awkward to follow up.
You need a system that works on autopilot. Here is the "Low Friction" method to filling your Wall of Love.
Step 1: Identify the "Happy Moment"
Do not ask when they sign up. Do not ask when they cancel.
Ask when they get value.
- Did they just export their first video?
- Did they just hit a usage milestone?
- Did they just give you a 5-star rating on a support ticket?
Step 2: The "One-Click" Ask
Send an email that is short and human.
Subject: "Quick question?"
Body: "Hey, noticed you just hit [Milestone]. That's awesome. If you have 30 seconds, would you mind sharing a quick sentence on how it's going? You can record a quick video here without logging in: [Link]"
Step 3: The Incentive (Optional but Effective)
"If you leave a video, we'll feature you on our socials."
For B2B users, the promise of a backlink or exposure is often worth more than a discount code.
Step 4: Automate It
Once you know this works manually, hook it up to your email provider.
- Trigger: User hits "Success Event."
- Action: Send "Testimonial Request" email.
That's it. You stop chasing. You stop feeling annoying. You just wake up to new video reviews in your dashboard.
