By the way, people love the MessageDeck!

Here’s what some of my early-adopter customers and clients have had to say about how the MessageDeck changed their messaging.

As I told Joel when I was on-site at the Cybermarketing Conference, his talk was the first one I watched – I flew a day earlier to make sure I could catch it! – and if I had left the conference then and there, it would have already been worth it! (Of course, the rest of the conference was great! 🙂 )

I particularly appreciated how well he articulated issues of Emotion, Logic, and Trust across the different stages of the customer’s journey and prompted us with questions that align to those topics. Across all this, he did it in a very energetic, humorous, and enjoyable way.

Major kudos to him for the session, and the body of work behind it.

“Some ‘messaging’ exercises can feel routine, and uninspired – the MessageDeck sparked more creative conversations. Even after the MessageDeck crash course, I left feeling empowered to tweak some of my messaging.”
