4) Reviews & Referrals

stephenpratley.com

My R&R Process:

1) Use the NPS question:

”How likely is it that you would recommend [your company] to a friend or colleague? Where 0 is not likely at all and 10 is very likely.”

2) Act FAST on low scores

stephenpratley.com

My R&R Process:

3) Go to “10”’s and ask who they have in mind

4) Ask positive scores about worst and best experiences with your product

5) Follow up on positive experiences and ask permission to publish as testimonials (offer links back or other value)

The above can be built easily using Gravity Forms in Wordpress, and an email triggered by an action that indicates a “successful” user.
