Ideation & sourcing
Monthly- Sweep the review platforms linked to the website, Clutch, G2, Trustpilot, Google reviews, for strong (≥4.0) reviews from clients with no live study. The review IS the testimonial.
- Query the CRM (
HubSpot or equivalent) for accounts with strong results: closed-won with hard numbers, NPS promoters, renewals/expansions, long-tenure clients.
- Mine client call recordings (Fathom /
Gong) for wins and quotable praise, capture the metric and the exact quote.
- Scan client channels (
Slack) and monthly reporting decks for benchmark-beating results.
- Check social mentions and tagged posts (
LinkedIn) for public praise.
- Ask delivery leads for one-line nominations: client, result, route to a quote.
- Qualification gate: a candidate qualifies only when a usable result AND a route to a testimonial both exist. Add qualified candidates to the pipeline board with source, headline result and quote status.
