DNA of Advocacy
We’re talking…
Joe: Sure thing! What are some of your thoughts? andrew eklund: Here is my speedtest results. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3921992924 Joe: Ouch. andrew eklund: What's "normal"? Joe: I'm not sure what's normal, but it varies depending upon which generation of technology the plane is using, how many users are on and the proximity to the towers. andrew eklund: I wish there was a way to ping that prior to logging in and paying for it. I get why you might not want to do that from a financial standpoint, but you end up being not as much of an advocate for the service. andrew eklund: Plus, pretty much as a monopoly, you can "get away with it." I get that too, but there should be more transparency around that. Joe: I understand. I'll most definitely get this passed along to our tech team.
We’re solving…
Joe: If you'd like, I can get you a code for a free pass on your next flight. andrew eklund: I wouldn't mind that. Thank you. Thanks for the help. Joe: You're welcome. Just one moment while I grab that for you. Joe: 2kdybhst324cc7 andrew eklund: Thanks for the help. I'll copy the code for tomorrow. Joe: You're welcome. Is there anything else I can help you with today? andrew eklund: Nope. Good to go. Joe: Great! Have an awesome day Andrew!
