2. When & How to Ask for Testimonials
Timing:
Immediately after delivery when satisfaction is highest
After a successful project milestone (like a sale or published listing)
Script Example:

Instagram DMs

3. What Makes a Great Testimonial?
A powerful testimonial answers:
What was the problem or need?
How did your drone service help?
What was the result? (faster sale, wowed buyers, great turnout)
Would they recommend you?
Bad Example:
“Cool photos. Thanks.”
Good Example:
“Your drone photos made my listing stand out—sold in 3 days with 2 offers over asking!”
