I'm putting together a page for people who are considering [Product/Service Name] and I'd love to show what customers actually experience. Would you be willing to leave a short testimonial? [Your testimonial link] 2 or 3 sentences is all it takes. Thanks, [Your Name]
The opening line references something specific to their situation, so it doesn't read as a mass email. One clear link removes friction. And "2 or 3 sentences" tells them exactly how much effort this involves before they even click.
