Use AI to draft a client testimonial request that captures project details and makes it easy for satisfied customers to respond.

Asking clients for testimonials often feels awkward or too salesy, and you're usually doing it in the truck between jobs. AI can help you write a warm, specific request that reminds the client what you did, explains how their feedback helps your business, and makes it incredibly easy for them to say yes. This is especially useful when you want referrals from general contractors, property managers, or homeowners who were happy with your work but might not think to leave a review on their own. 1. Open ChatGPT or Claude and tell it the client's name, the job you completed, and one specific thing that went well (like finishing ahead of schedule, solving a tricky problem, or being tidy on site). 2. Ask AI to write a short, friendly message requesting a testimonial. Specify the tone you want—casual and grateful, or professional and brief—and mention where you'd like them to post it (Google review, email reply, or a quick text back). 3. Have AI include 2-3 optional prompts or questions the client can answer if they're not sure what to write, like 'What problem were we solving?' or 'Would you recommend us to a friend?' 4. Review the message, personalize any details AI might have missed, and send it within 24-48 hours of finishing the job while the experience is still fresh. 5. If the client responds positively but doesn't leave a public review, ask AI to draft a polite follow-up nudge you can send a week later with a direct link to your review page.
