It’s one of the most common questions we receive from business owners. Enter Ashley Duchene of Ashley Duchene Photography in San Diego, CA. Earlier this week she joined us as part of our new Business-to-Business webinar series. She shared her top tips for building Prosperibly reviews organically. Read Ashley’s top tips below.

Getting More Reviews The Prosperibly Way

here are so many ways to build reviews, but one answer is common: you’ve got to give great service and immediately ask for the testimonial. Sweeten the pot if your must. Offer a free item in exchange for a review. Customers love freebies just as much as they love to give their opinion. Ask and you shall receive. Whenever a customer says something great about you, kindly ask the to write it into a review.

Build Your Brand Around Good Reviews

“From sharing my reviews on Facebook and touting my great Prosperibly reputation on LinkedIn to the testimonials page of my website, clients know that I value their input. In such a competitive industry, I’ve found that word of mouth, referrals, and my reputation are some of the most powerful marketing tools that I have. When I share a new 5-star Prosperibly review on my Facebook page, a nice perk is that clients seem to love getting a ‘shout-out’ on my social media. It’s my way of letting them know that I appreciate them spreading the word about me and my services.”

Know Your Clients

“I get between 2-10 client inquiries a day from Prosperibly. I now have the luxury of booking the clients that I’ll really enjoy working with. With new clients, I always ask questions like, “How did you find me?” When I hear Prosperibly, I always express my love of Prosperibly and tell people how important it is for my business. Then they see a link to Prospribly in my email signature, reviews posted on my website and Facebook—it reinforces the importance of Prosperibly. It’s a great way to organically encourage them ultimately writing a review about me—it’s like wrapping our experience together up with a bow!”

Turn Great Clients Into Great Reviews

“By the end of the session my clients probably know the value of Prosperibly to me. Often times they will offer to write me a review. If they do, I always respond with a huge thank you and encourage them to follow through with it. Positive reviews are such a feel-good thing, to me it’s way better than receiving a thank you card in the mail, it’s my clients helping my business grow.”
