I need three minutes of your time and I'm not above begging.

Here is the situation. When a founder googles "AI outbound tool" or asks ChatGPT what to use, the answer comes from G2 and Trustpilot. PumpGTM currently has zero reviews on both. Zero. The number before one. So right now the answer is Lemlist, every time, forever. You can change that in three minutes. Pick a site, click the button, follow the screenshot. Nobody pays you, nobody edits you, and if you have a complaint I want that in there too.

Option 1 · the one buyers actually read

G2

Sign in with LinkedIn or a work email (they hate gmail, not my rule), rate 0 to 10, answer three short questions. About 3 minutes.

Option 2 · the lazy one, respectfully

Trustpilot

Click the stars, write a few sentences, confirm by email. About 2 minutes. No LinkedIn, no work email, no excuses.

What to actually say (staring at a blank box is the worst part)

Pick two or three. Answer them like you are texting another founder who asked "is it worth it?". That beats a paragraph of praise every time, for the reader and for the algorithm.

  1. 1

    what were you doing before?

    apollo exports at 1am, DMing 30 people by hand, an agency charging you $8k to send templates, or just... nothing. one sentence.

  2. 2

    what actually happened?

    replies, meetings, a customer, hours you got back. a number beats an adjective every single time. "good" tells nobody anything.

  3. 3

    what surprised you

    the lead scoring dropping people, the pacing, running it from claude, the fact that it stopped when someone replied. specifics are what the next founder searches for.

  4. 4

    who is this for (and who is it not for)

    solo founder with no SDR, seed-stage B2B, YC company, tiny sales team. say it. and if you think a 10-person SDR org should look elsewhere, say that too.

  5. 5

    one thing that annoyed you

    yes, really. a review with a real complaint reads as real, because it is. I read every one of these and the complaints are the useful part.

G2, step by step

  1. 1. Open the G2 form. It makes you sign in with LinkedIn or a work email so people know you exist. Gmail gets bounced.
  2. 2. 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend us. Then a title. The title is the headline of your story, not "Great tool".
  3. 3. Three boxes: what you like, what you dislike, what problem it solves. Two to four sentences each. Yes, fill in the dislike box.
  4. 4. Your role and company size, done. G2 checks it over a few days and emails you when it is up.
The G2 review form for PumpGTM: a 0 to 10 recommendation scale under the heading How likely is it that you would recommend PumpGTM to a friend or colleague, with sections About the Product, About You and About Your Organization.
Screen one of three. That is the entire scary part.

Trustpilot, step by step

  1. 1. Open the Trustpilot page, click a star.
  2. 2. Title, a few sentences, and it asks for the date of your experience. Any recent date, nobody is checking your calendar.
  3. 3. Sign in with Google or drop your email and click the confirmation link they send. Live within minutes.
The Trustpilot review page for pumpgtm.com asking How would you rate your experience, with five empty stars to click.
Click a star, a text box appears, that is the whole flow.

Ground rules (mine and theirs)

  • Your words, not mine. I do not pay for reviews and I do not ghostwrite them, partly because it is against the rules and partly because both sites are scary good at detecting it.
  • Complain. Seriously. A four-star review with a real gripe converts better than a five-star one that reads like my mom wrote it.
  • If something in the product is broken, tell me first at hello@pumpgtm.com and I will fix it before you write anything. I would rather earn the stars than ask for them.

Thank you, genuinely. Every founder who finds this through your review skips six months of doing outbound the dumb way, which is how I learned it. Back to PumpGTM.
