Thanks for these great ideas. I tried to get testimonials for my company’s website and didn’t have very much success. I’ll definitely try these ideas.

I’ve already been doing Tip#2 and Tip#3. Thanks for posting Tip#1. Post testimonials on your site, on your marketing materials… for clients also on LinkedIn, I have a few recommendations there, too. Here’s an idea: for clients who don’t mind being a reference, why not add a “Connect Me with Your Clients” type form on the site. That way potential customers can have a candid dialogue with clients who can answer questions about your service. Clients sell you. It worked for a wedding company’s website I developed.

Dave,

Great tips – I know that I have to make client’s life easier, but I can’t seem to get that automatically – my reason is that I expect my client to know what an arsenal of ‘weapon’ I have :D

And that’s plain sux. You”re rite – I shouldn’t put my client to work.

Thanks for the tips!
