Prompt Template
Write a short, warm email from [SENDER_NAME] at [COMPANY_NAME] to [CUSTOMER_NAME] at [CUSTOMER_COMPANY] requesting a testimonial or review for [PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE]. The customer achieved [SPECIFIC_RESULT] using [PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE] approximately [TIME_SINCE_RESULT] ago. The email should: open by referencing their specific result (not a generic "hope you're well"), make the ask clear and low-friction (suggest they answer 2–3 guiding questions rather than write from scratch), include those 2–3 guiding questions focused on: the problem before, the result achieved, and who they'd recommend this to, offer a specific format option ([FORMAT — e.g., a 2–3 sentence written quote / a 60-second video]), and give a clear deadline of [DEADLINE]. Keep the email under 200 words, use a conversational tone, and avoid making the customer feel like they're doing a favor for marketing — frame it as sharing their story.
