What do you think about this? https://youtube.com/shorts/1IhMKEuOjcw?si=O03l1rbqFYl2ehy3

Hi I started a ghl based business called Thrive Connections. I have a website, ein, Gmail etc connected to that name. Do you think it's ok to use this for a review based business or would you recommend something else with the word review?

I feel like an idiot, I cannot get past the a2p. I got approved from all of the checkmarks. But the brand keeps getting denied. I’ve applied for an llc for my own business, but that could take God knows how long. I could be wrong but I feel like there’s no way everybody who does this business model has to get this a2p approved individually for every single customer onboarded. That’s worth $99 itself lol. But seriously somebody please help me, I have to onboard 5 people today

I’m from Sweden, and I’ve been having a bit of difficulty booking meetings. I’m not exactly sure why. I think my English is pretty decent overall, maybe I have a bit of an accent or dialect, but I can communicate and understand people well enough. One thing I’ve been thinking about is that I’m not familiar with a lot of the trade-specific language, slang, and culture in the market I’m selling to. Since I’m not from there, I don’t really know how much impact that has. But I do believe people naturally trust someone more when they feel similar to them, and that probably makes sales easier. Selling in Sweden isn’t really an option for me for several reasons. One reason is that Sweden isn’t a very entrepreneurial or competitive market compared to the US. A lot of people don’t care much about branding or reputation, and the bigger companies dominate while smaller businesses often stay small unless they expand internationally. So I wanted to ask you guys: do you think language, culture, slang, or even just being from another country can noticeably affect appointment booking rates? The second issue I’m having is with show-ups hahah, I think this is probably because I still haven’t fixed my A2P setup. I found the process a bit difficult, especially because I haven’t opened a company yet, and I’m planning to open an Estonian company for tax reasons. From what I understand, I should still be able to get A2P verified with an Estonian company, but I’m not 100% sure yet. My plan is to open the company after getting my first client since the setup process should be pretty quick once I apply. Because of this, I currently can’t send proper SMS messages, which makes it harder to send reminders, information, and pre-sell the appointment. I imagine this can also make me seem less trustworthy or even scammy to some prospects. I’ve been thinking about buying a Tello number so I can send SMS properly. I also considered just using iMessage from my Swedish number since it’s free, but honestly I think that would look even more suspicious, so probably not a good idea.

Hi everyone. I’m new and soaking up the material. I’ve been talking with an orthodontist practice about reviews and referrals. They have a platform (cloud9)that doesn’t send the requests right away. It’s in a daily update vs realtime. It would eventually hit their communications platform (Weave) that they use for emails and texts. The automation side of it is difficult however I can still engage a campaign using their existing patients to request reviews then later referrals. I think it’s best to send a campaign through Weave since they already have the email and sms capability that they are paying for. Has anyone ever worked with Weave. I’m thinking of suggesting the practice to give me limited access where I can only see the patient info needed to send review and referral requests. Does anyone have any experience in a similar situation. I appreciate any guidance because I’m actually going into the office tomorrow afternoon. Thanks
