​

    • Ask them to record somewhere nice and bright with good lighting

    • Suggest recording on a laptop/desktop if they can

4. Additional information requests

Click onto the 'Other requests' step - here you can ask your customers to provide their company logo, profile photos and other assets that can be used with their testimonial.

  • Use the check box to request images - like company logo, profile shot or photos of a product for which a testimonial is being provided. Write in a description into the available field for a custom photo to be able to use the check box.

  • Use the Check box to request social or other links e.g. the customers LinkedIn, Facebook or company website links.
