Ask most business owners why they don’t have video testimonials, and they’ll tell you:
- “It’s hard to get customers to agree.”
- “People don’t want to be on camera.”
- “I don’t have time to chase them.”
But here’s the truth: your customers do want to share their success—if you make it simple and give them a reason to.
Video testimonials aren’t just about asking for favors; they’re about inviting your customers to be part of your story.
Why Customers Say Yes
According to our critical assumption framework, customers are willing to give testimonials at scale. Why?
- They’re proud of their success.
- They want to be recognized as someone others can learn from.
- They trust brands that treat them like partners, not just buyers.
When you make the process quick, easy, and authentic, most customers are happy to share their experiences.
The Perfect Timing to Ask
The secret isn’t just asking—it’s when you ask.
- Right after a win. Did they hit a milestone using your product? That’s the moment to ask.
- After solving a pain point. If you just made their life easier, they’re naturally more enthusiastic.
- After renewal or repeat purchase. These customers already trust you—they’ll gladly speak on your behalf.
How to Ask Without Feeling Pushy
The biggest reason brands hesitate? They think it’s awkward. It doesn’t have to be. Here’s how:
- Make it about them, not you.
Say: “Your story could help someone just like you find success—would you mind sharing it?” - Remove all friction.
No need for scheduling calls or complex tech. Just a simple one-click recording experience. - Guide, don’t script.
Give them 2–3 prompts:
- “What problem were you facing before using us?”
- “What changed after you tried our product?”
- “What would you tell someone considering us?”
- “What problem were you facing before using us?”
