Chapter 9 — Client Review Request — The Referral Machine

Prompt 27 Review Request for a Rave-About-It Client

Context/Tips
  • Strike while the iron is hot.
  • If they wrote a long message, reference one specific line they said.
Expected Outcome

A response that rides their enthusiasm straight to a Google review.

The Prompt
Using the Studio Voice Blueprint and Linguistic Filter from Chapter 1, a client just sent me a glowing message about their wedding photos. Their exact words:

[COPY AND PASTE THEIR MESSAGE HERE]

Write a warm, specific response that:
- Thanks them sincerely for the kind words
- Quotes one specific thing they said back to them
- Asks if they'd be willing to share that feedback on my Google review page: [PASTE YOUR LINK]
- Notes that their words help other couples find a photographer they can trust
- Keeps it under 75 words
- Feels like a genuine thank-you, not a transaction

Apply the Linguistic Filter. The more emotional their message, the warmer and shorter your response should be.
