G2 review ask inside the product while context is fresh
Ask for a G2 review inside the product or on the website while the user is actively using the workflow, instead of hoping a cold follow-up email lands later.
Why this can grow a startup
The review ask gets weaker every hour the product experience fades from memory. G2's playbook makes the practical case for asking while someone is already using the platform or interacting with the site. The product is top of mind, the details are easier to recall, and the feedback is less likely to collapse into generic praise or generic frustration. That helps the buyer reading the review later because the write-up sounds like it came from a real session rather than from a vague memory.
Company example
