Step by step process

Your version of this process may vary based on roles, systems, data, and approval paths. Moxo's flow builder can be configured with AI agents, conditional branching, dynamic data references, and sophisticated logic to match how your organization runs this workflow. The steps below illustrate one example.

Testimonial capture

The process begins when a potential testimonial is identified from customer conversations, interviews, or feedback. The quote or statement is documented along with context and intended use. AI agents may flag strong candidates from customer communications.

Internal review

Marketing reviews the testimonial for accuracy, appropriateness, and alignment with messaging. Account teams confirm the customer relationship supports the request. Testimonials that could be problematic are flagged for additional review.

Customer authorization request

The customer is presented with the exact testimonial text and intended uses. They can approve as-is, request edits, or decline. The authorization scope is clearly defined including channels, duration, and any restrictions.

Authorization capture

Customer approval is formally captured with specific scope documentation. Any modifications requested by the customer are incorporated. The authorized testimonial is added to the approved content library.

Usage management

Approved testimonials are used within authorized scope. Usage is tracked and customers are informed if materials are published. Authorization is renewed when scope changes or expiration approaches.

Inputs + systems

This process relies on customer quotes, authorization requests, and testimonial library. Triggers include customer interview completions, quote captures, or marketing content needs. Integration with CRM platforms, marketing asset management, and customer communication tools supports the testimonial lifecycle.

Key decision points

Key decision points include determining which quotes warrant authorization requests, what specific uses to request approval for, and whether to modify testimonials based on customer feedback.

Common failure points

Testimonials used without proper authorization. Quote attribution errors embarrassing customers. Authorization scope exceeded without renewal. Testimonial library outdated with stale content.
