If you're looking for some great examples of testimonials, you might want to read this article by Hanne Vervaeck from Thrive Themes.

Here is the article: Copy the Greatest: How Marie Forleo Uses Testimonials to Grow B-School
The "B-School" website has three different testimonial pages.
- First section is by the students answering specific objections - "What's a reason NOT to buy?"
- Second section is a variety of testimonials made in the students' own words. Not just to recommend the service, but how the service has changed their lives.
- And the third section is more in-depth video and text testimonials capturing the student's life story.
And the article continues to explain about Marie Forleo's strategies to get so many testimonials - she didn't collect them overnight - one strategy is to consistently request her students to submit a testimonial in exchange for a special bonus. And it explains how she does it by email.
