Follow-up questions they answered

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
Can TeamBonding handle large executive groups without a cookie-cutter approach?
Yes. Tya Bolton noted that while TeamBonding has a foundation of online offerings, they allowed her to customize the experience to integrate specific client needs, ensuring the 150 executives were well entertained and not just given a standard package. — Tya Bolton
How does TeamBonding handle last-minute on-site logistical issues?
Tya Bolton described how their lead, Derek, arrived early and identified that the room configuration wasn't right. He guided the hotel staff to reconfigure the space for 19 teams seamlessly before the clients even entered the room. — Tya Bolton
What is the communication like during the planning process with TeamBonding?
Bolton described the communication as 'nonstop,' noting that her team had access to cell phone numbers and email addresses with no limits on when they could reach out, which put the entire planning team at ease. — Tya Bolton
