Templates: review requests

Why not re-frame reviews/feedback as advice?

It’s human nature to procrastinate and avoid things that are uncomfortable.

So why not re-frame 'feedback'? Why not ask for advice?

Asking for advice is disarming and constructive. It frames an interaction in a constructive light and positions the client as someone whose opinion matters. It doesn’t treat them like a box check, and the usefulness of the data you collect will change accordingly.

The gains to constructive advice from your buyers can’t be underestimated.
