So how many clients should you invite to review you?
The short answer - as many as possible!
We recommend you invite all your clients to review you when you join VouchedFor. After that, you can invite them each again every year. And of course, don't forget to ask all your new clients to review you.
On average, 1 in 3 clients decides to leave a review so if you are aiming for 10 reviews minimum, sending out around 30 invites should get you there. You can send them out using our 'invite multiple clients' tool.
You can also invite clients to leave a follow-up review through the "annual feedback" tool. Simply switch on annual feedback under annual feedback in the reviews tab.
The more reviews on your profile, the more confidence you build with clients and prospects.
