Always make sure to deliver exemplary outputs to your clients, take an extra mile to every project and listen to your client’s instructions attentively.

Also, the answers from the exit survey will be used for evaluating the services you delivered and in enhancing your portfolio.

You can ask your clients for a testimony on social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other social media platforms). Because everything is into digital, the testimonials that your clients will be posted will be seen by many which will reach potential clients.
4.) LinkedIn recommendation
LinkedIn recommendations are a great option if you are building and starting out as a freelancer and don’t have any clients yet, it is because there are a lot of potential clients on LinkedIn. If you are already part of LinkedIn, and you already have recommendations from your past employers, you can use these testimonials for a “work with me” page so that clients can see all about you, and see how great you deliver your services to your clients.
5.) Offer a reward for reviews
In most cases, even though you have a happy client you cannot please them to give you a testimonial on their own accord. And, if they’re not willing to give you a testimonial, try to offer your client an incentive, take any extra mile on the projects that you are working on or you may reward them through a free service. That way they will be convinced to give you excellent reviews.
6.) Ask for Email Testimonials
You’ve been receiving praises and thank you from your client for a job well done. Why not get those messages from your email and use it as a testimonial. An excellent testimonial contributes to your good standing and many clients will be attracted to your services because a good testimonial implies credibility and outstanding output.
7.) Offer trade testimonials
As well as freelancers need testimonials, the clients also need testimonials to stand out online and show their credibility. Credibility is also important to clients because fraud is everywhere and when the client is hiring and you don’t have reviews, freelancers might not trust you and they will see you as a scam.
