The Problem with Traditional Testimonial Collection
Getting customers to write reviews on Google, Yelp, G2, Glassdoor, or Product Hunt feels nearly impossible. Traditional approaches rely on manual outreach to a handful of big accounts, resulting in outdated, generic testimonials, while marketing teams struggle to get customers to agree to case studies or video testimonials that require weeks of production and heavy involvement from customer success teams.
TheySaid changes the game.
Instead of begging for testimonials or settling for superficial reviews, you tap directly into genuine customer experiences through natural AI conversations that feel comfortable and authentic—turning every satisfied customer into a potential marketing advocate without the traditional friction and delays.

FAQs
What kind of response rates do we see from customers for testimonial requests?
Our AI customer interviews typically achieve 30-35% completion rates from satisfied customers—significantly higher than traditional testimonial requests. The conversational 3-minute format and non-sales approach make it easy for customers to share their authentic experiences.
Why would customers participate in testimonial collection when they usually ignore these requests?
Customers respond because it doesn't feel like a marketing ask. The AI frames conversations as genuine interest in their success story, not a request for promotion. Customers can respond on their own time without pressure, and many appreciate the opportunity to share advice that might help others.
How much does it cost and what's included?
We offer a proof-of-concept project for $1,000, which includes AI-powered customer interviews with guaranteed testimonial content. This covers automated outreach setup, conversation management, content analysis, and ready-to-use testimonial quotes formatted for your preferred review platforms.
What's included in the testimonial generation service?
We set up automated customer outreach, run AI-powered success story interviews, analyze responses for compelling quotes, and deliver testimonial-ready content. You'll get interview summaries, standout quotes, and formatted testimonials ready for Google, Yelp, G2, or other platforms—plus we handle customer incentives to maximize participation.
Who is this designed for?
Our program works best for businesses with satisfied customers who want to increase their online review presence. It's especially effective for companies that struggle to get customers to write reviews manually or rely on only a few big accounts for testimonials.
How do we identify which customers to approach for testimonials?
We integrate with your CRM or customer success data to identify customers showing positive engagement signals—recent renewals, support satisfaction, or usage milestones. The AI then reaches out with personalized conversation starters based on their specific success indicators.
How is this different from traditional testimonial collection or review requests?
Traditional approaches rely on direct asks for reviews, which feel promotional and get ignored. Our AI conducts natural conversations about customer success, then transforms those authentic stories into testimonial content—removing the awkwardness of asking customers to promote your business.
Is there a guarantee on the testimonial content we'll receive?
Yes. If we don't deliver authentic customer testimonials and ready-to-use review content during your proof-of-concept project, you don't pay.
How quickly can we start seeing more customer reviews and testimonials?
Most marketing teams receive their first completed customer interviews within 3-5 business days and see a 5X increase in testimonial material within the first month, with ready-to-use quotes generated in just 1-2 weeks.
