Frequently asked
- 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
- Is a 15-hour immersion more effective than traditional hourly therapy?
- Yes, according to Keira Brinton, the immersion format prevents the 'cutoff' experienced in weekly one-hour sessions. This allowed her to peel back multiple layers of trauma consecutively, resulting in progress she equated to ten years of traditional therapy. — Keira Brinton
- Can Transformative Listening help with the pressure of being a high-achieving single mother?
- Keira Brinton found that the practice alleviated the 'tremendous amount of pressure' she felt while managing five children, 15 employees, and hundreds of clients. It provided a space where others could 'hold' her intensity, which she had previously carried alone. — Keira Brinton
- How do I know if I should try Transformative Listening?
- Keira suggests that if you feel inspired to go, your soul has already agreed to it. She notes that while the experience cannot be fully explained, it must be experienced once for the realization of safety and support to 'come online.' — Keira Brinton
