Ask at the right time so the best time to ask a customer for a video testimonial is right after you complete a job. The experience is fresh in their mind and they're so appreciative that it won't seem like such a big ask. Tip 2 Ask in the right way Perhaps the most crucial factor when asking for a video testimonial is how you ask as much as it is so easy to send an email or a text message, remember your customer is doing you a favor. Take the time to ask them in person or give them a phone call. Let them know how much you appreciate them as a customer. Tip number three Ask customers for the right reasons.

Remind them that by doing a video testimonial, they're making it easier for others to determine if you are someone they can trust.
