Collect a structured testimonial - before, turning point, result - and the client's permission on exactly where it may be used, with a revocation route.
Quick answer
Collect a structured testimonial - before, turning point, result - and the client's permission on exactly where it may be used, with a revocation route.
Asking for a testimonial usually produces a compliment nobody can use. This form guides the client through a small narrative - where they started, what shifted, what changed as a result - then asks a separate, explicit question about usage: which channels, named or anonymised, for how long, and how to withdraw. Permission is captured in the same record as the words it covers.
