Follow-up questions they answered

Will my partner trust a coach that I recommended?
Toku McCree initially worried if his partner would trust Ken since Toku was the one who found him. However, Ken successfully enrolled her in the process, making her feel heard and confident that he was an advocate for both people. — Toku McCree
Can a relationship coach help if we decide to break up?
Yes, Toku explains that Ken helped them navigate the difficult process of separating and moving out while living together. He describes the ending of the relationship as 'beautiful' and transformational for both parties. — Toku McCree
How does Ken Blackman improve communication between partners?
Toku notes that Ken acts as a translator, taking what one person says and putting it into the other person's language. This allowed the couple to instantly understand each other in ways they couldn't on their own. — Toku McCree
Will an automated testimonial process upset high-end concierge clients?
Dave Asprey noted that because Share One uses a live human who cares and asks the right questions, it matches the 'white glove' environment of his mansion-based program. He reported having no issues with client impressions, stating the professional process leaves a positive final taste for the investment. — Dave Asprey
How does Share One compare to standard email testimonial requests?
Asprey states that while getting testimonials via email is not hard, it lacks the impact of a live human interaction. He believes that when a reporter asks questions, it changes everything because the resulting testimonials are something the audience can actually 'feel.' — Dave Asprey
Can video testimonials help with customer retention or experience?
Yes, Asprey uses Share One as part of the 'integration process' for 40 Years of Zen. It helps clients capture what really happened during their experience before the memory fades, reinforcing the importance of the work they did for themselves. — Dave Asprey
