With Tanero
Or say it once. ORBIT sends it.
ORBIT can send the review request at the right point for each client: a scheduled job checks for deals closed about ten days ago and prepares the text from your Tanero number and the email from your own Gmail or Outlook. When a client sends kind words, ask ORBIT to add them to your website as a testimonial and they appear on your home page. If you'd rather ask by voice, ORBIT calls in 100+ languages and reports back, and it answers when a client rings with a question about the link. In Approval mode, the starting setting, each request goes out only after you approve it.
Add a testimonial from Nadia K., Milton: 'Calm, clear and always one step ahead.' Then draft review requests for the deals I closed in the last two weeks.

Questions
Before you send it.
When should I send a review request after closing?
One to two weeks after closing. The stress of moving has passed, but the experience is fresh enough for clients to remember details.
What is the best way to ask for a review?
A personal text with a direct link, followed by an email with a few prompts. The fewer steps between your message and the review box, the more reviews you get.
How many reminders are okay?
One gentle reminder about five days later. After that, let it go; a client who doesn't want to write one shouldn't feel chased.
Can I use reviews on my website?
Yes, as testimonials. Ask the client which name to show, such as a first name and initial, and keep their words exactly as written.
Words are the easy part. Sending them on time is the job.
