As always Ivan is on the money.

I have automated testimonials on my website – every time a prospective client looks at a new page they get a new fresh one.

I do a lot of business on-line and likewise get the majority of testimonials that way – usually on a weekly basis.

When I get an email enquiry I respond including the most recent testimonial from a customer with a similar requirement.

Planetbuzz.com is a new “recommendation engine” that ties in testimonials with a online business directory that is multimedia and powerful. The owner of the company is a good personal friend. Might check it out on our web site under “Marketplace Ministries” button.

The three ways mentioned my Dr. Misner are great ways to get started using testimonials. IF you are involved with services like Biznik, Yelp! or LinkedIn, you can ask for testimonials there too. Don’t forget the influence the social web can have on your ability to gain referrals!
