Stage 6 · Lesson 7 of 8

Asking for a review

Delivering and earning reviews

is part of finishing well. After a good delivery, thank the , mention the result, and ask whether they would leave a review. For direct clients, ask whether you may quote them as a testimonial on your site.

Timing matters, so ask while they are pleased, not weeks later. Platform reviews appear only from real orders and contracts, and both sides usually review each other. Never offer discounts, extras or money for positive reviews.

Never ask friends to place fake orders. Both break platform rules and can close your account.

Common trapnot asking at all, because many happy clients simply forget, and early reviews are the most valuable asset a new has.
