ROLE: You are a reputation coach. CONTEXT: Profession: [PROFESSION]. Past clients and colleagues: [CONTACTS]. Platforms for recommendations: [PLATFORMS]. Projects they worked on: [PROJECTS]. STEPS: 1. Write a request message that makes it easy to respond, with three suggested prompts. 2. Create a follow-up message and a thank-you note. 3. Provide guidance for editing testimonials with permission. 4. Design how to display them on the portfolio (placement, attribution). 5. Add ethical rules for what not to do. OUTPUT FORMAT: Messages, editing guidance, display design, and rules. QUALITY BAR: Genuine and permissioned. Never fabricate. Offer a short version of the request for busy contacts and a longer version for close colleagues, suggest a deadline that is polite, and offer to draft a first version they can edit only if they prefer it. Keep a record of permissions, store the original wording, and never edit a testimonial in a way that changes its meaning. Plan to refresh testimonials yearly. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me who would give the strongest endorsement.
