Guide
When is the best time to ask for a testimonial?
Right after the customer gets a win: when they complete a key action, come back for the third or fourth session, get a fast support resolution, or finish checkout. The pattern is always the same — ask at the top of the value curve, not days later by email.

The playbook
1. After the aha-moment
The moment your product first delivers its promise is peak goodwill. For most SaaS that is a completed core action, not signup.
- One script tag — no plugins
- Draft written from real usage
2. On return visits
Someone on their third or fourth session has chosen to come back. Habit is itself a testimonial: trigger on sessions:3 or more.
- Asks only when the session's engaged
- You approve before it ships
3. After a milestone event
Purchases, first exports, inviting the team. Wire a custom event (trustproovr.track('purchase')) to ask at the exact high point.

A resolved ticket or fast reply is underrated. People who got help fast are primed to say something generous.
- You approve before it ships
- No account needed for your customers
5. Never on first touch
A stranger asked on page load will dismiss you, and if dismissals snooze, you just burned your one shot at a future fan.

Or let the tool do the asking.
Everything above is what trustproovr automates with one snippet: behavioral triggers fire the ask at the right moment, the draft writes itself from real usage, the customer approves it, you approve it, and the wall renders in your brand. From first snippet to first testimonial, usually same day.
Questions
What about exit-intent asks?
They work as a last shot for engaged sessions (deep scroll, real activity). On cold visitors they mostly annoy.
Should every testimonial go through approval?
Yes. An approval queue keeps off-topic, unfair, or low-quality submissions off your homepage while real praise goes live in one click.
How do I catch these automatically?
Behavioral triggers. trustproovr fires the ask on sessions, scroll, dwell, exit, or your own track() events, with a classifier that holds back on cold sessions.
