Using PostSheet to Collect Testimonials or Reviews (Without Sounding Pushy)

Great reviews don’t just build trust — they drive growth.

Whether you’re selling a product, running a service business, or growing a course or community, social proof is one of the most powerful tools you have.

But the best testimonials? They don’t happen by accident.
They happen when you ask the right way, at the right time.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send personal, timely testimonial requests that feel like a human wrote them — not a sales robot.

Let’s break down how to do it right.

🌟 Why Personal Review Requests Work Better

Generic “leave us a review” emails get ignored.
But a message that:

✅ Feels like it was written just for them
✅ Arrives after a clear moment of success
✅ Includes an easy way to respond

…is much more likely to result in an actual testimonial.

That’s exactly what PostSheet helps you send — at scale.

📋 Step 1: Track Your Happy Customers in Google Sheets

Use your CRM, project tracker, or app data to build a list like this:

Name	Email	Product/Service	Milestone Reached	Review Link	Custom Note / Prompt
Jamie Wong	jamie@email.com	Brand Strategy Plan	Completed + loved it	link.com/review-jamie	“What changed after using it?”
Alex Rivera	alex@email.com	Growth Workshop	Gave great feedback	link.com/review-alex	“What surprised you most?”

Optional fields: NPS score, referral status, cohort date, preferred language

You can also auto-tag happy customers based on behavior or responses (e.g. left positive feedback, renewed, referred others).

✉️ Step 2: Create a Friendly Review Request in PostSheet

Keep it short, honest, and focused on making it easy to respond.

Example:

css

Copy

Subject: Quick favor, {{Name}}? 💬

Hi {{Name}},

Really appreciate you being part of our {{Product/Service}} — and glad to hear you {{Milestone Reached}}!

Would you be up for leaving a quick testimonial or review? You can do it here:

👉 {{Review Link}}

If it helps, here’s a simple prompt: *{{Custom Note / Prompt}}*

No pressure at all — but even a sentence or two makes a big difference for us.

Thanks again,

[Your Name]

You can switch tone (casual, professional, warm) based on segment or audience.

🚀 Step 3: Send Review Requests in Batches (or Triggers)

Here’s how to do it with PostSheet:

Filter your sheet for customers who hit the milestone
Connect to PostSheet
Map your fields (Name, Product, Review Link, etc.)
Preview your messages (you’ll be shocked how good they sound!)
Send instantly, or schedule post-delivery or post-project

You’ll get consistent social proof with very little lift.

🔁 Bonus: Follow Up Nicely If They Didn’t Respond

Send a gentle nudge 3–5 days later:

“Just circling back in case you missed this! If you’ve got a sec to share a few words, we’d be super grateful 🙏”

Even better: offer to feature them or include a small gift or thank-you.

🧠 Best Times to Ask for a Review

🎉 Right after a customer success moment
🛠️ After completing a service, onboarding, or training
📦 7–10 days post-purchase (enough time to see value)
🗣️ After receiving positive feedback via email or support
🧾 After a renewal, upgrade, or repeat purchase

When it feels natural — it doesn’t feel pushy.
