When you consider that there are over 10,000 people a day turning 65 it is a very big issue.
Danielle setup the company in 2005 with her brother.
They do a number of things to make the whole experience far more pleasant rather than just being treated like a number which happens with many insurance companies and as a result they receive a huge amount of referrals and great testimonials.

(All transcriptions are done using www.trint.com through a system of artificial intelligence and so on EVERY episode there are quite a few mistakes as AI is far from perfect when it comes to transcribing the human voice. However, it is a very time-consuming process to go through each transcript and correct all the errors. For quite a while I had the transcribed docs sitting on my hard drive in the belief that one day I would eventually get around to correcting all the errors and could then upload each transcript to the show notes for each episode. The reality is that isn’t gonna happen for quite a while as I simply do not have sufficient time to be able to do that.

Episode 32 – Danielle Roberts – 30-04-2019.mp3

[00:00:00] Exceeding expectations. Episode 32.

[00:00:06] Welcome to another episode of the show where we try to give you ideas of how you can give your customers better experiences. The aim is for each show you’ll hear a couple of ideas that you can implement in some way. That said it your customers do feel they’ve had a great experience working with you and it’ll be great if you could leave reviews for us on iTunes and Stitcher and all the various podcast platforms because that gets the show out to more and more people and the more people they hear to show. Hopefully that can result in a more or more companies delivering better experiences which means we’ll win that amnesty. That’s my dream my utopian dream and maybe leave as well as leave a review you can subscribe to the show as well. This week’s episode is with Daniel or Robert. She’s based in Texas and she runs a company called Baby Baby Boomers which is all around the issue of Medicare in the United States. I hope you enjoy this week’s episode. Don’t forget you can join the exceeded expectations group on Facebook and feel free to leave some questions about any of the guests any in any previous episodes you’ve heard. If you’ve got a suggestion for someone you’d like to hear on the podcast again that’s the place to pop it in and we’ll see if we can get the person that you would love to hear interviewed on the show.

[00:01:36] Exceeded expectations. And this week my guest is Danielle Roberts. Have you done yet. I’m terrific. How are you today. I’m very well thank you and you’re with down in Texas.

[00:01:46] Yes we are down here in the land of the hot summers which are coming up on us pretty quickly.

[00:01:52] So I said I’m so I go to bed and it is over here in London.

[00:01:57] Yes I promise that in August I’ll be wishing for your weather.

[00:02:01] So you do Medicare for both of us I’m over here in the UK who are not so familiar with that is Medicare.

[00:02:10] So here in the US when people turn 65 they are eligible for a national health insurance program called Medicare and it provides them with the same type of coverage for inpatient outpatient and prescription drugs that during their working lives they’ve gotten through their employers. So since we don’t have a single payer system here in America what was happening back in the 60s is people would be working and they would be afraid to retire because they were going to lose their group health insurance coverage that they were getting from their employer. And so you would end up seeing people you know working well past the age that they should be. And being afraid to retire because they didn’t want to lose access to health insurance and of course you need your health coverage more than anything at the end of your life. So this was rolled out as sort of a basic program back in the 60s so that we wouldn’t have people falling through the cracks when they retired they wouldn’t go without coverage. And part of the the Medicare benefits are funded through payroll deductions during your working years and then part of it you pay a small premium for when you sign up at age 65. But everyone here is eligible. Al all citizens at age 65 can sign up for Medicare and get those benefits from the government and not feel like they have to keep working just to maintain their health coverage.

[00:03:39] And so does Medicare cover anything health when I tell them it will cover anything that is medically necessary. So we do find that Medicare they rarely deny a claim. So if you go for any type of illness or injury or sickness if you need lab work or diagnostic imaging or an X-ray. Even doctors and second opinions all of those types of things that are medically necessary are covered what Medicare doesn’t cover are routine dental vision and hearing benefits those are considered ancillary and so you would need to purchase those separately in a dental vision and hearing type standalone health insurance plan. So it doesn’t cover that it also doesn’t cover cosmetic issues or long term care so it doesn’t provide for nursing homes or assisted losing but any other type of medically necessary medical appointment surgery visit all of that is going to be covered under original Medicare Parts A and B and you mentioned before we started recording that was it ten thousand people a day.

[00:04:47] Oh yeah. It’s an amazing name.

[00:04:50] It is really we had that baby boom. So you know all the baby boomers are heading into retirement now and it’s a completely different generation and their parents of course because we’ve grown up in this Internet age and so we do have people often that are working longer these days and they may turn 65 and still be working and not need Medicare right away.

[00:05:11] But they at least had the option to pick that up and so 65 tends to be the a agreed upon age for retirement at least here in the United States. That’s normally when people start thinking about it at least and they can plan for a fun retirement knowing that they have access to Medicare even when they leave their employer.

[00:05:32] And so I have been running these companies because you said you started a company with your brother.

[00:05:37] Yes. So we started back in 2005 and I had been working prior to that in the staffing industry for about 10 years. So I have lots of H.R. and people and recruiting knowledge but after a while doing that job it just wasn’t fulfilling to me in the way that it had been in the beginning and I really wanted to run my own business. I wasn’t sure what and I thought some tarp some type of sales and service together seemed like a good fit. So I checked into a bunch of different industries and this is the one that I settled upon selling health insurance because of course it’s something that everyone needs. But as I was saying when we chatted a little bit it’s a great industry for entrepreneurs because there’s no perishables you don’t have food that’s going to go bad you don’t have clothes that you’re stocking on the shelf you don’t need a building to house all of your inventory insurance is really an idea that’s backed by a guarantee. And so it’s also a very educational sale. Since people need health insurance but it’s something that they don’t really understand. So when you’re working with a client you can use plain language to explain their benefits to them. And it really is a very fulfilling career in that sense. I know a lot of people don’t in high school say you know someday I want to be an insurance agent. It’s not as sexy as saying I want to be an astronaut or a doctor or a scientist but it is something that’s really necessary. People do need to have health coverage and there is a great feeling about helping someone understand benefits that were prior confusing to them. So Dave and I my brother started the business and it was just the two of us working for several years and we really started the very old school way so I would literally drive out in the morning to a business park park my car take my little briefcase with all of my business cards and I would go in the front door of all these businesses and introduce myself and let them know that I sell health insurance and ask them when their employer renewal was coming around for their group insurance. And so we did have a start with really it was bootstrapping for sure there was no cash infusion or investment of any kind it was really just hard work and getting out there and making people know about us and so little by little we would have those people that I was living my business card with they would give us a call when their health insurance renewal came around and we would bid on that and try to help them save money on their health insurance. And so it was a great business to get started if if you didn’t have a lot of cash to do so. And what we found is that selling group health insurance was relatively easy because we were meeting with employers that we could cold call on.

[00:08:16] But then when we would be talking with them about their insurance over the first year or so we really noticed a lot of them asking questions about Medicare because they were adult children and their business owners in their 40s and early 50s and they were helping their parents with signing up for Medicare. And nobody here knows anything about it people don’t even think about learning Medicare until you turn 65 because you’re not eligible for it until then.

[00:08:41] And so even these adult children who were maybe a little more with IT and computer savvy than some of their parents were they were also still having a difficult time being able to understand and explain our national health insurance program for their parents. So we looked into it and got signed up and licenced and appointed to work with Medicare insurance products. And I noticed that people were selling insurance very old school so you would go out to someone’s kitchen table and you would sit down with them and explain their options and you might be there for two to three hours and walk away with an application. And David and I thought that hey you know people buy their auto insurance and their homeowner’s insurance online and we could explain this over the phone just as well as we could do this in person. Why don’t we try putting together a Web site and marketing ourselves and being able to help people that way. And we have lots of old school insurance agents tell us that would work and seniors don’t use the Internet. People don’t want to buy insurance that way and there was quite a bit of resistance to it. I think a lot of people thought that it would fail but that’s kind of how we attacked our business right from the beginning was you know using a lot of digital marketing to put ourselves out there and then over the years that went really well because there are people turning 65 all over America that have been using computers for years and when they want to learn about Medicare they consult the internet just like they have on anything else that they buy. And we’ve been able to establish a pretty good presence there online. So we do a lot of educational sales. We help them understand their government benefits first before we talk about any of the supplemental products that they would need to buy from us. And this is very comforting to them because national health insurance is scary. And another thing Tony that I’ve noticed that people think here in America is when they think of national health insurance they think of what you have in the UK or what people have in Canada where you’re not actually paying for it in a monthly premium. But it’s something that’s provided to you by the government and it’s paid for by taxes. So a lot of people here in America turn 65 and they have absolutely no idea that Medicare costs money it’s not free their premiums that you pay for it. And so we have sort of made it our mission to educate people and try to reach them well before they turn 65 to let them know that hey when you do turn 65 and you’re thinking you’re going to roll onto Medicare and ride your horse off into the sunset of retirement you don’t want to be surprised by thinking Medicare is for you and then finding out that it’s actually going to cost you and you and your spouse five or six hundred dollars a month to have adequate insurance coverage. So it’s really a great industry for educating and helping people learn some of the things they need to know upfront before you come in with the thing that you actually sell.

[00:11:35] And so I imagine it is pretty competitive. What was it that you do differently than the other companies that find this.

[00:11:41] Yeah it’s really competitive. Insurance is a is a great industry. There’s lots of people out there to choose from and the other thing is that you you actually compete against the big insurance carriers too because they can sell direct to consumer here in the United States. And we have to find reasons to set ourselves apart so that people want to buy from us so early on in working with people I started to notice that I would be in an appointment with someone helping them with a policy and when I would come out I’d have a message or two from existing clients about some sort of issue maybe Medicare failed to pay one of their claims maybe their doctor misquoted something and they’re getting a bill and they don’t know why or they might be heading to the pharmacy and they’re going to pick up a prescription that they thought would be covered and they’re being told that it isn’t covered. And so I noticed in the early stages of the business that there was a lot of back end work and it seemed to me like when I was asking around to my peers and other people in the industry how they handled this sort of thing they would often say well on the back of their insurance card there’s a 1 800 number you tell them to call the carrier. And I thought Well that’s awful I wouldn’t want to be the person calling my agent and being told to call some big no name insurance company and be a nameless faceless person to whoever picks up the phone there. I thought that that was really not a good way to handle your clients at all. And so we started to get very involved in how to fix those problems that would happen on the back end and because this is a government run program there’s all sorts of things that happen that are not fun they can mess up your coordination of benefits or they can deny a claim that should have been covered simply because a doctor put the wrong code on a bill. And these are things that can be really upsetting to someone who is brand new to Medicare doesn’t really understand how it works in the first place and now they’re getting this bill and they don’t know is it covered as it isn’t covered who do they call how do they fix it and why did it happen. And so we took an angle of hey what if we developed this customer service team here in our office full of licenced agents just like the ones that sell products to people every day. But on the back end we provide them an extra 40 to 80 hours of training every year and how to resolve problems so that if they do get a denial by Medicare they know to call us and we help them get conference send to the right person if they get a bill from their doctor or their pharmacist and something wasn’t covered. We tell them don’t pay it if you get a bill call us first. And so we’ve built sort of a great need for ourself in the respect that the service level that we provide is really our claim to fame. And so in the webinars that we do and in all the other selling that we do in terms of our Web site we advertise that we had this spectacular client service team that handles anything and everything related to the back of your policy so that you’re never alone in dealing with this big beast that is Medicare. And this has just been phenomenal for our sales. It really has blown us off the charts because when you’re confused enough coming into Medicare and you’ve got to learn this big hairy government healthcare system you’re already frightened because you don’t understand how it works and you’re worried that you’re choosing the right coverage and you want to know if you go in the hospital you’re not going to get hit with a bunch of bills. And so to hear someone say hey we’re going to help you set up policies that work for you but also on the back end if any of those things happen you don’t have to sort through all those unpaid bills yourself. You don’t have to call the pharmacy or Medicare or an insurance company. You just call here to Boomer benefits and or client service team and one of our team here will walk you through everything that you need to do and half the time that bill that you’ve gotten in the mail isn’t even something that you actually. Oh so please don’t pay it. Always call here. And this of course means that we spend well over a million dollars a year in payroll to run a team like this. But what it’s really done for us is it’s just driven up the persistency of our policies. So if you are not familiar with how insurance works when you sell a policy every month that that person pays their premium to the insurance company a small piece of that is a commission for the agent to do exactly what we’re doing which is providing the back end support. And so for as long as that policy remains on the books you continue to get paid. And so it made sense to us to invest money in keeping people on the books it’s always cost you less money to keep a current client than to go out and find a new one. And so our team does some really unique things. And in addition to having inbound calls from all of our policyholders we also call out to them two to three times a year just to check on them and find out if they’ve had any questions about their policy. Do they know how their coverage works. It’s surprising how many times we make those calls and the people actually do have questions and they just didn’t feel like picking up the phone to ask the question or they maybe didn’t feel like they wanted to bug us with the question. But because we’re showing up on the phone in front of them they think yeah you know I actually did have this question we had one example not too long ago where one of my team reached out to a policyholder and this guy he’s a fairly wealthy policyholder he does pretty well for himself and he had gone into the hospital and afterward he’d gotten a bill for almost thirteen hundred dollars and he was just getting ready to pay that bill.

[00:17:08] He if we hadn’t called him he would have just paid it into him. He didn’t feel like making a phone call and figuring it out. He just assumed if he got a bill that he actually owed that money. And so when my team member reached out to him and he said yeah actually I do have a bill that came in here it’s about thirteen hundred dollars and I was just gonna go ahead and paid it. I assume that I owe it. She was like No no no you need to send that to us.

[00:17:29] You probably don’t owe that. And sure enough what she called Medicare and did the research it was just a matter of Medicare had never received the claim from the actual provider. And so here’s this guy that would have sent off a check for thirteen hundred dollars that because we put in a courtesy call to him like we do every year with all of our clients several times a year we were able to prevent him paying a bill that really was gonna get paid by Medicare. Anyway it ended up that he didn’t know anything and I have you know dozens of examples like that. So the outbound calls that we make are certainly a step above the normal service level. It is definitely a way that we try to exceed expectations for all of our policyholders want them to feel really comfortable and excited about the job that we do for them. And this is an example of how just going that little step beyond what you might find from any old insurance agent and making a few phone calls and having a team that’s dedicated to the people that have already rewarded you with their business and let you earn that business you do right by them and those people they will stay on the books with you forever. So that is really sort of the niche that we’ve built out for ourselves which is yeah you can buy your policy from just about anybody but if you buy your policy through Boomer benefits when the slightest little thing happens you’ve got this whole team here to support you and you’ll never be alone and it’s it’s really worked well for us to bring these people in and we have policyholders that stay with us then four or five son seven 10 years or more.

[00:18:53] So I imagine that. So what you were just saying about how you make those calls to people and they’re not expecting them I presume that the competition weren’t doing anything about that. Have some of your competition started copying that. No.

[00:19:05] You know I’m surprised that we don’t see a lot of that. I’ve run into one or two small smaller competitors that seem to have followed in that vein but I don’t actually see a lot of other people doing it. We have some pretty big competitors and they will tell you that yeah if you’ve got something wrong you can call our customer service department but I haven’t seen anybody else that’s doing the level of outbound outreach that we do with our with our folks. And I think it’s because you know that’s certainly a big investment. It’s a really big investment to bring in people that are that are not going to actually be creating revenue for you. So you know these people some businesses might view that as a drain on the bottom line of your business. But for us we feel like it’s actually extending the life of that client. And so far we really haven’t had that many competitors that have have made the investment and so I hope that continues because it wins us a lot of business.

[00:20:00] I imagine for I mean I don’t know much about what insurance but I would imagine that many companies will simply look upon the customers as simply just no. Yeah it sounds like you’re trying to think of ways of how can we make a better experience for the people that are using us. Is that something that you have to be.

[00:20:18] Yeah I think that’s exactly right. And you know if you think about it and I try to always put myself in the customer’s head I think about my auto insurance agent. Do I. How does he set himself apart for me what is it about that agent that makes me want to buy. Well I know that the agent is a broker and I’m gonna get quotes from multiple companies and so that’s why I stay with them. But other than that there’s really there’s really no reason why I might not switch to someone else that calls me and offers me a better quote and so it’s sort of taking a defensive view of once you get these clients into your client family. How do you keep them with you. And so you’ve got to you’ve got to make them not only understand what the product that you’ve sold them but you need to make sure that they’re aware that the service level that you’re offering is something unique and something they won’t find many other places. And we’ve had a couple of examples where we’ve had clients that have gotten a rate increase so you know once a year when their policy renews on its anniversary typically people will have a small increase in their premium because the cost of health care is inflating all the time. And so sometimes those folks will call go online and buy another policy and they don’t think twice of it and then they go to call the client service team and they find out they don’t have access to that team anymore and they didn’t realize that when they changed their policy to another agent online that they were losing Boomer benefits they they were associating that service with with almost with Medicare or assuming they were going to get that from every agent.

[00:21:53] So part of doing this is really making sure that now we educate people so we’ve built in all sorts of things to make sure our folks are aware this is a really unique service. They get a personal welcome email from me as the founder of the company after they enrol with us and I have an email that explains to them what the client service team is what they do and why they do it how it will be helpful and all the ways that they can reach that team. And then I prepare them that they’re going to have an outbound phone call from our team several times a year. And in that phone call the service agent also reminds them hey this is your courtesy call and I’m really glad I got to talk to you about remember if you have something that happens you don’t have to wait for me to call. Make sure you reach out to us here’s our phone number. If you run into any other bills or any other questions that’s what we’re here for. We’ve developed a private Facebook group where people could sign on so it’s easier for them to just type of question into Facebook and have our team answer there. They can get their questions answered there. So we’ve really tried to come at it from every angle and set ourselves apart. And the trickiest part is to make sure that your clients are aware of that benefit and make that benefit valuable to them so that they don’t end up making a switch and then finding out later that they no longer have access to that benefit. There’s a there’s a service aspect there but you’ve got to make sure that your clients are well educated on the fact that you offer it to begin with and so health is the Medicaid system in the States from other countries such as Canada and the U.K. and so on. You know I wonder that myself my husband is actually Canadian. We went through the whole immigration process here a couple of years ago and I noticed that it’s very interesting to me whenever he has any kind of health care or had health care up there I was always very curious about it and I noticed that here in the States we’re very we are really expecting quick service.

[00:23:44] So when we have when we’re sick we can call making a doctor’s appointment and usually can get in the next day if we need surgery. We schedule it we go and have the surgery. There’s no waiting time. We’re going to have money that we pay for those services. But we we definitely have quick delivery on all of our health insurance here. And I noticed at least for my husband in Canada he was never motivated to go to the doctor if you had a cold because you had a wait until Thursday and then you had to stand in line outside the clinic at seven thirty in the morning and you would see the doctor and he wouldn’t give you a prescription anyway. And so I noticed that the emergency care in Canada was great if something if an emergency happens they get in right away for surgery but then I also noticed that my mother in law she had to wait almost two years for an MRI.

[00:24:29] And she finally got so tyred of waiting that she went and had one done out of her own pocket which found a lump on her spine and then she was immediately able to go and have surgery and fortunately was benign and she was OK but you know she suffered with that for quite a long time because if she was going to wait for the national health care system there’s Wait there’s a waiting game there. And here we’re not used to that we’re used to being able to have very quick service because we’re it’s cash that we’re paying and I think that that’s one thing that people here in America fear a little bit about losing if we ever to have you know a total national health insurance program with Medicare covering the 60 million people that it does cover right now even still people people on that program can get in fairly quickly to see someone almost ninety one percent or something like that of the doctors here in America except Medicare. And so another service I know that we offer is if they have any trouble finding a doctor in their town that is accepting Medicare they can call us and we’ll help them find someone that’s taking Medicare that’s close enough and is accepting new patients. And so we would want to make sure of course that if we were ever to change over to something single payer I think folks worry about losing that. So that’s one aspect I know that’s different between our our level of fast care as opposed to what I see happen in my mother in law’s case.

[00:25:56] You mentioned before when we were talking before we started recording about the webinars. Is that something that many of your competitors do or is that again something that’s quite different.

[00:26:06] There’s a few of them out there. I know that I’ve heard one of my clients recently that attended ours and ended up buying a policy through US had sent me an email and said you know the reason that he had chosen us is when we did the webinar we were the only ones that didn’t spend the first 20 minutes you know telling how great we are. Instead we just kind of launched right into the information. So I know that other agents do them but I think probably the reason why ours is so popular is there’s not really any selling on the webinar. It’s just straight information. We just explain Medicare and make it easy for them and we trust that the fact that they listen to us for an hour and they hear how much knowledge we have. And I explained to them how our clients here never have to go it alone with Medicare. And so it’s been really surprising how people sometimes they heard my webinar two years or 18 months prior to that and when it comes time to sign up they remember and they come back and they sign up through our agency. So we certainly seem to be one of the agencies that’s doing it on a large scale. We do webinars both for the general public and then I also do them at request. So being in the industry for as long as I’ve been in the industry we have lots of agents in the area that our group health insurance brokers and they will come to me on behalf of their clients and say hey we’d like to have you do a webinar for this client. They’ve got you know 50 people that are age 65 or older and they don’t understand about their Medicare and they need someone to explain that to them and we will do custom webinars like that for employers to help their employees learn what they need to know about Medicare both. Now while their Medicare is coordinating with their individual or group health insurance and also later how it’ll be primary and watch the transition from working for an employer over to having Medicare as your primary insurance grows we do both of those types of webinars.

[00:28:00] And I think that we are one of the few that does them to that extent from some of the things you told me about the things that you do quite different to your competitors such as the way you handled the webinars and holding your customers and so on. Well you had general thoughts on exceeding expectations and I was going to say I think it’s hugely important.

[00:28:25] I think I think it is the thing that sets you apart as a business. It it’s an easy one to set you apart if you just think about yourself and all the business that you have with business that you do with vendors in your area. Everything from the restaurants that you go to to the insurance that you buy to the groceries that you purchase when you’re visiting with you’re selling your home and dealing with a mortgage broker you’re making sales decisions all the time and you have to always ask yourself you know what would be the one thing that would would make this person more attractive to me so I find as a business owner that believes in exceeding expectations for our own clients. I also reverse engineer that in my head and when I’m working with someone and I’m the client I’m looking all the time for a person to do business with. That has something that’s different from their competitors what is it about this particular person that’s going to make me want to stay with that person and do business with them now and again in the future or for the long term. And so if you come at your business from just selling policies if all I cared about was coming in here and having our team write a thousand plus policies a month and you know getting rich you know you certainly could do that but you would have such a churn in your business. So many people that you’d be losing at the same time that you’re bringing them in. And I think if you don’t exceed expectations you lose a little bit of the respect not only from your clients but also from your employees. I have found that the type of service that we offer is really important to the people who work for me and they will tell us time and time again in their reviews that we do with them and in just the general feedback that they give to us that they believe in the mission and the sales people who are working on the front lines with our clients. They love to tell them about the service team that they’re going to be dealing with on the back end and they feel good about that. And so I have found that our persistency is really good not just with our clients but also with our own employees. They stay with us for years and years and we have very low turnover because the employees believe in a company that is exceeding expectations and they want to work for a company that cares like that about their clients. So I think if you approach your business from what could we possibly do that would set us apart from our competitors and make us special to the people that do business with us. You’re going to win respect from a lot more than just your clients you or ruin respect from other businesses and you’ll win respect from your employees and that’s huge because it’s so hard to find good people when the economy is doing well you’re competing for the best people out there and we want to have people that enjoy working here not just for their good paycheque but because they really see that we’re doing something unique and we’re going to provide something that’s truly helpful to people and some more I understand.

[00:31:19] So so let’s say you you’re getting quite a few so and some other news as well.

[00:31:23] Yes that’s right. We after we started really offering this kind of service we came upon the idea of having some of our clients tell online about the things that we saw for them. And so we started getting reviews from clients. We’ve we get tons of five star reviews you got over twenty two hundred five star reviews online and we get them simply by asking a client after we’ve done a good service for them. So if a client service team member solves a prescription problem for someone at the end of the call we ask them how did we do. And and then we let them know if you feel we did a good job or if that was helpful to you. Just want to let you know that a good review will always help us. And here’s the places where you can leave a review and you’d be surprised at how how many people will leave you a review if you just ask them. And so I love being able to go to our Web site and click on the reviews and write as you start reading. You’ll see tons of examples of the types of problems that our service team solves and so that in itself then becomes a great sales tool because on the webinars when I’m doing them I let them know Hey listen you’ve had an opportunity to hear all about us today before we break into the Q and A session. If you would like to read more about us here’s a great place where you could go online and click on this review button here and you can read for yourself what our clients have to say about the service team and it’s just as simple as that is a sentence or two that you mention but people really will go back later and review those and when they see how many people are giving testimonials about a problem that we saw that that was so frustrating for them and they’re so grateful for it then those people absolutely want to do business with us. So I think it’s really important if you do provide some sort of stellar service if you are exceeding expectations for your clients find a way that you can build reviews into that we have an account with a company called Shopper approved. There’s also one called Trust pilot. I’m sure there’s others but you can set up a pretty easy reviews platform you are going to make an investment for that but again it’s such a great sales tool. It’ll be well worth investing in that because you’re letting your clients do the selling for you Well I know it’s been it’s been fantastic I’m here.
