Testimonials: Don't Need to be Perfect: Just Go Get 'em

I know that I don't need to tell anyone that it's always a good idea to get other people saying good things about you. It's also stating the obvious that it helps when we can document these good words about us.

So, why do we all know this, but we still use don't really get them? (I'm included in the guilty party here.)

This post is to honor someone who does a great job with this. Plus, I want to shed some light how easy it could be.

Must all testimonials be IN WRITING? I think you know the answer to that, but here are a couple of examples from a couple of people in a company called The Best Michigan (TBM) Homes (owned by Saravanan Peelamedu and Ron Ristovski) at www.TheBestMIHomes.com.

From an outside investor to this company:



How long do you think THESE took to make? No, they're not high-production quality, but the important part is that they have proof from other people that they do a good job.

Basically, if you've done something good for someone, and you know they appreciate it, why wouldn't they want to help you help other people the way you helped them? Just ask for them. Don't be shy!
