Description

If you've ever had a client rave about your work—but then disappear when you ask for a testimonial—this one’s for you!

I’m sharing how one painful experience (involving 20 emails 😬) led me to 3 powerful shifts that changed everything about how I get great reviews, regular referrals, and repeat business from my favorite clients... zero awkwardness required!

🎯 You'll Discover:

  • Why email is the worst way to ask for a testimonial (even for people who love you!)
  • The simple 15-minute conversation that unlocks raving reviews
  • The 3 testimonial shifts that helped me earn 65+ 5-star reviews (and how you can use them)
  • How to turn a testimonial ask into a moment of magic for your client
