Build a reputation that's yours, one project at a time.
Verified client testimonials that grow with every project. Your reputation, in the words of the people you've worked for, all in one link. And it's free.
Create my portfolioNo testimonial? That's money left on the table.
You got paid for the job. Great. But without a testimonial to show for it, you're back to square one with your next prospect, as if the project never happened.
How it works
- STEP 1 · one link to send
You ask
Send your client a personal link by email or WhatsApp. They're signed in within 30 seconds, using a code we email them.
- STEP 2 · five minutes
They write
Our AI assistant asks your client the right questions, and they answer in their own words. The result reads as if they'd written it themselves.
- STEP 3 · over time
You build on it
Every recommendation goes into your portfolio, which you can share with one link or download as a PDF.
Why it matters
One place for all your client testimonials, in your name, that follows you from project to project.
- Word of mouth that reaches strangers. Your testimonials reach prospects who don't know anyone in your network and would never have heard of you otherwise.
- Proper, detailed recommendations, written by real clients. Not three polite lines dashed off to close the project.
- One link to share. Anyone can read your portfolio: no sign-up, no subscription.
- Every testimonial comes from a verified email address. Much harder to fake than an anonymous quote on your own website.
- A reputation that keeps growing. Every project adds to the last. Your profile carries more weight, and you become the obvious choice.
- Free. For you and your clients. No ads, no hidden paid tier.
Frequently asked questions
Will my clients actually take five minutes to do this?
You'd be surprised. Most are glad you've made it easy: they're signed in within 30 seconds with a code we email them, there's no blank page to face, just four or five guided questions and they're done. And let's be honest, they owe you one. You did a great job.
My clients aren't techy. Will it put them off?
No, we've kept it deliberately simple. We've tested it with tradespeople, solicitors and doctors. If you can open an email, you can write a recommendation on Take Your Skills.
What if I'm not happy with a recommendation?
You decide what's public on your profile. If a recommendation feels a bit lukewarm, you can hide it at any time. You're in control.
Is it really free?
Yes. Take Your Skills is free for everyone, with no ads and no hidden paid tier. The project is funded in other ways.
How do I share my portfolio?
Use the short link in your email signature, on LinkedIn or on your website. You can also export your portfolio as a PDF and attach it to a quote.
