Testimonial asks

You need this if…

• A client wrote you a lovely thank-you note and it’s still sitting in your inbox.
• The quotes on your website are from three years ago.
• You only remember to ask when you need one, which is the worst time to ask.

01What it reads

• Email
• Meeting transcripts
• Contacts
• Notes

02What you get

A short list of clients who recently said something kind, with their words quoted and a simple ask drafted for each.

03What stays with you

It never sends an ask or puts anyone’s words on your site. You pick who to ask and when.

04How you ask

“Who should I ask for a testimonial?”

Try it today.

Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, then add your own material where it says so. Take out card numbers, passwords and anything private about other people first.

I'm going to paste recent emails and messages from clients. Please find the moments where a client sounded genuinely happy with my work, and quote the exact line. Rank them by how specific and heartfelt they are.

Then, for the top three, draft a short request asking if I can use their words as a testimonial. Keep it personal, mention what they said, make it easy to say no, and offer to write a draft they can edit.

When it runs on its own.

Once it’s set up, it notices thank-yous and good news as they come in and saves the moment. Every so often you get a short list of who to ask, with drafts ready.

That’s what Second Nature is: this job and 9 to 11 more like it, set up on your own computer around how you work, with me.
