Client Feedback Request Templates for Freelancers — FormVault

Subject: Quick favor — a testimonial for [Project Name]?

Hi [Client Name],

I hope you're still happy with [Project Name]! I'm working on building my portfolio and would love to feature our work together.

Would you be willing to write a brief testimonial? Just 2-3 sentences about what it was like working with me. Here's a template if you need it:

"[Your Name] was [adjective] to work with. They [specific result]. I would [recommend/strongly recommend] them to anyone looking for [service]."

Or if you prefer, just answer these three questions:

1. What was the biggest challenge before we started?
2. What specific result did we achieve?
3. What would you say to someone considering hiring me?

Thanks so much!

Subject: How did [Project Name] go? + Quick favor

Hi [Client Name],

Now that [Project Name] has wrapped up, I'd love to hear how it went from your perspective.

Quick 2-minute survey (literally 2 minutes):

2. What was the best part of working together?
3. Is there anything I could have done better?
4. Would you be willing to write a brief testimonial? (Just reply to this email with 2-3 sentences)

Your feedback helps me improve, and the testimonial helps other clients find me. Win-win!

Thanks,
