Let Proofy send these and collect the answers →Good questions only help if people answer them. Most customers are happy to give a testimonial; they just need a short, well-timed ask.
Hi Sam, thanks again for choosing Bloomly! Would you share a few words about your experience? It takes about two minutes, and it helps people like you decide. 1. What problem made you start looking for a tool like Bloomly? 2. What has changed since you started using it? 3. Who would you recommend Bloomly to, and why? Thank you! Priya
Don't pay for testimonials or put words in people's mouths. If you give anything in return, say so next to the testimonial. Proofy can send the ask for you after every sale, at the right moment, with one reminder.
A testimonial that sells tells a short story: where the customer started, why they chose you and what changed. Ask in that order, and the answers come out ready to use. To see what those answers look like, read our testimonial examples.

On video, people need shorter questions they can answer without notes. Send the questions before you record, and ask for 20 to 30 seconds per answer.
Ask them to repeat the question in the answer: "Before Bloomly, I…". Then each clip makes sense on its own when you cut it for social posts. Pick Video in the tool for a set made for your business.
Fewer than you think. Match the number to where you ask.
| Where you ask | Questions | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A request by email or text | 2–3 | More than that and most people won't start. |
| A testimonial form | 3–5 | Short answers, one per box. |
| A video testimonial | 3–5 | About a minute of answers in all. |
| A call, interview or case study | 8–12 | You lead, so they can talk longer. |

Questions that tell a story in order: what the problem was before, why they chose you, what changed, and who they'd recommend you to. Add one that asks for a number, like time saved or sales won. Specific answers persuade far better than general praise.
Two or three in a request by email or text. Three to five in a form or a video. Eight to twelve only when you're on a call or writing a case study, where you can guide the conversation.
Ask soon after they get a result, by the channel you already talk on. Use their name, mention what you did together, say it takes about two minutes, and add two or three questions or one link. Send one reminder at most.
Right after a win: the delivery arrives, the project launches, the first result shows, or they renew. That's when they feel the result most and remember the details.
Open. A yes or no question gets a yes or no. Start questions with what, how, why or who, so the answer is in the customer's own words.
Ask for them directly, and give an example of the kind of number you mean: hours a week, sales a month, days to sell. If the first answer is vague, a short follow-up like "roughly how much?" usually gets the number.
Three to five short ones: the problem before, why they chose you, the biggest change, and who they'd recommend you to. Send them the questions first, and ask them to repeat the question in their answer, so each clip makes sense on its own.
Not really. For a Google review, send one short line and your review link, and let people write what they want. Use these questions for testimonials you collect yourself, for your website, ads and social posts.
You can fix typos and shorten it, but don't change what it means. Ask before you use their name, photo or company, and show them the final version if you made changes.
No. The questions are put together in your browser, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
