CUSTOMER FEEDBACK AND TESTIMONIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find the customer’s own words—and get permission before you use them.

Help a marketing team identify a concise passage in submitted customer feedback that may be suitable for a testimonial. Keep the original response alongside any edited suggestion, never present a paraphrase as a direct quotation, protect contact details, and obtain explicit approval for the exact wording, attribution, channel, and duration before anything is published.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A feedback response collected for the organization’s stated customer-feedback purpose

“Surface a possible testimonial for human review while keeping the customer’s meaning, identity, and permission under their control.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps marketers find concise, relevant customer feedback for consideration without treating a submitted response as automatic publication permission.

  1. Check the feedback and its collection purpose

    Confirm the response was submitted through an appropriate process and identify what the customer agreed the feedback could be used for.

  2. Identify a candidate passage without changing its meaning

    Select a concise excerpt and keep the complete original response available to an authorized reviewer.

  3. Separate direct quotes from edited suggestions

    Label any shortened or rewritten text as a draft and never place edited words inside quotation marks as if the customer said them.

  4. Confirm identity and explicit usage permission

    Ask the customer to approve the exact wording, name or attribution, context, channels, and duration before marketing use.

  5. Approve the finished testimonial before publication

    Require a marketing owner to verify the customer’s authorization and approve the final quote, presentation, audience, and destination.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

Keep in mind

Editing can change a customer’s meaning, and submitting feedback does not necessarily grant permission to use it as an endorsement. Keep the original wording private, distinguish edits from direct quotes, verify consent and attribution with the customer, and approve the exact quote and placement before publication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain the purpose of feedback collection

Tell customers how their responses may be reviewed and keep general feedback consent separate from testimonial permission.

Protect customer identity and contact details

Limit access to original feedback and retain only the information needed for an approved review.

Set quotation and editing standards

Define how exact excerpts, edits, context, attribution, and customer approval are recorded.

Assign customer and publication approvals

Name who obtains permission and who approves the exact testimonial and placement before it becomes public.
