For webinars, online workshops and virtual events
Collect Webinar Testimonials From Attendees
Online attendees close the tab the second you say goodbye, and half your registrants only ever watch the recording. Set your webinar date below for a plan that catches both groups: a link before the session ends, a request beside the replay, and two reminders.
- Link in the chat before people leave
- Request sent with the replay
- Proof ready for the next registration page
The problem, solved
Why online sessions leave so little proof behind
The praise is real. It just happens in places you cannot publish from, and at moments that pass quickly.
Situation 1 of 5
Everyone leaves the second it ends
There is no queue for the exit online. One click and the audience is gone, along with the goodwill of the last ten minutes.
How StoryProof solves it
Paste your StoryProof collection link into the webinar chat during the Q&A, while people are still there. It can be shared by hand anywhere.
Situation 2 of 5
Half our registrants only watch the replay
Replay viewers often get the most from a session, because they watch it when they can concentrate. Nobody asks them anything.
How StoryProof solves it
Add replay viewers to your StoryProof contacts and send them a request by email a day after the replay goes out.
Situation 3 of 5
"This was so useful" vanishes with the chat
Chat messages are short, unattributed and gone when the session closes. They are not something you can quote.
How StoryProof solves it
The same link lets attendees write a few lines, leave an audio note or record a short video in the browser, with nothing to install.
Situation 4 of 5
Nobody answers the follow up survey
Post-event emails compete with every other email that week, and attendees are already on to the next thing.
How StoryProof solves it
From Pro, StoryProof reminds people three days after the request and once more four days later, then stops when they answer.
Situation 5 of 5
The next registration page has no proof
The people deciding whether to sign up next month never see what last month’s attendees thought.
How StoryProof solves it
Choose which approved testimonials appear in the widget on your registration page. It embeds with two lines of HTML.
Timeline
Your webinar testimonial plan
Enter the date of the live session. Each step names who it is for: live attendees, replay viewers or both.
Day 0
Link in the chat, before Q&A ends
Live attendees. One sentence from the host: "If this helped, tell us in a minute at this link." Then post it in the chat.
Day +1
Replay email with the request
Both groups. Send the recording and, below it, the testimonial link with two questions about what they will do differently.
Day +4
First reminder
Anyone who has not answered. StoryProof’s follow-up automation can send this three days after the request.
Day +8
Last reminder
A short final note. After this, stop asking about this session.
Day +10
Approve and add to the next registration page
Pick the replies that describe what attendees learned and place them where next month’s audience signs up.
Day +30
Ask the ones who applied it
Attendees who said they would try something get one more question: did it work? Their answers are the strongest proof you will get.
The dates are calculated on this page. Nothing is sent or stored.
Prompts
Questions that suit a webinar
Put two of these in your form. They ask about the content, not the slides.
Right after the session
- What is one thing you will do differently after today?
- What did you expect, and what did you actually get?
Leave out
- Rating the presenter out of ten
- Asking whether they would buy
A month later
- Did you try what you planned to? What happened?
- Who would you send to the next session?
Leave out
- Asking for numbers they have not measured
In StoryProof
Set it up before your next session
- 1
Create a webinar form
Add the prompts above. Attendees answer by text, audio note or video from one link.
- 2
Add the link to your closing slide script
Write the chat message in advance so the host posts it before the Q&A ends.
- 3
Add attendees and replay viewers to contacts
Request emails count toward your plan’s monthly allowance, so for a large webinar check it before you send.
- 4
Send, remind, approve
Send the request by email, let reminders run on a plan with automations, and approve the replies worth showing.
What happens next: Before each new session, swap the registration page widget to the freshest replies, ideally from the same topic.
Before you start
Honest limits
No connection to your webinar tool
StoryProof does not pull attendee lists from your webinar platform. Export them and add the people yourself.
Request emails have a monthly allowance
A webinar with thousands of registrants may need more request emails than your plan sends in a month. Start with attendees who stayed to the end.
Chat praise is not consent
A kind chat message cannot be published as a testimonial. Ask the person to submit it through the form.
Ask about the session you ran
Do not use webinar replies as proof of a product the attendees never bought. Show them beside the next webinar, not on the pricing page.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Short answers to what usually comes up next.
Should I ask during the webinar or after?
Both. The chat link catches people while the session is fresh. The replay email catches the people who left early or watched later.
Do replay viewers make good testimonials?
Yes. They watched by choice, at their own pace, and often take more notes. Ask them the same questions as live attendees.
How many questions should a webinar form have?
Two. One about what they learned and one about what they will do. Anything longer gets abandoned on a phone.
Can I use the testimonials for future sessions on a different topic?
Use them to show that your sessions are worth the time, but make clear which session each one came from. A quote about one topic should not suggest it was about another.
Still have a question? Ask the StoryProof team or book a demo.
