If people like us and talk about us we can use those positive blurbs as kudos. We wanna change our subjective statements objective ones.
Saying “I’m a great yo-yo performer” is subjective, but saying “Jojo Siwa said ‘She’s a great yo-yo performer'” is objective.
Kudos from experts are best, kudos from clones of our prospective buyers are second best, kudos from strangers on the internet is third best.
Experts include…
- People with a good credit in the wheelhouse of the comment eg “Nearly impossible” Jeff Tuck – Harvard Astrophysicist
- Famous people usually
- Press
The purpose of kudos is to prove value. So, if my value is that I provide the ultimate cocktail experience with friends… a better quote
“My gimlet shot out my nose” – Jane Doe
…is better than…
“The kids loved it!” – Tom Cruise
We only need kudos when we need them to fill a gap. It saves a lot of energy if we’re not chasing down every testimonial from every client. If i have 10 perfect kudos, I definitely don’t need one more.

Getting Kudos: how to ask a person
You could use this format to ask for a testimonial…
“
Thank you! You’re the best! If we could get the right quote I could use it could be a total game-changer for me!
I remember you saying something about how much you liked my shoes…
Would it be possible for you to sign off on this quote : “Jimmy’s style is wonderful from the tips of his feet to the way he talks”
I know you’re busy. I’m really grateful for any testimonial from you.
“
remember, this is a game you’re giving the person. Make it fun. Amplify the reward if you can. Tell them why and how it will change your life…
Everything is FUN
