Conversation FAQ's
Everything you need to know about connecting for conversations.
What if there's a communication issue?
Miscommunication happens. We get it.
If you're having difficulty with your conversation, just reach out. We're here to help.
Can you help me identify the roles I need?
During the registration process, you will see questions to help you assess what roles you may need.
If you're still not sure you can schedule a conversation with an operator who will walk you through a discovery session to explore where you can find the most help.
Can a conversation become a project?
Many times a simple conversation or task reveals a broader issue that requires more time.
Sometimes the KC from the initial conversation is able to work on the resulting project. But other times, they may not have the time or expertise needed.
But don't worry. All you need to do is make another request now that you know more clearly what you need.
How does the scheduling work?
You will initially direct messages through the Switchboard, where the communication will evolve into possible emails or texts.
Once connected, you can coordinate schedules and communication methods.
Can I request multiple conversations at a time?
You may request several conversations at the same time, but a better question may be, how many KCs can you juggle at a time?
We suggest starting with big things first, those priorities with the greatest impact on your day and/or organization, slowly increasing your bandwidth.
Remember, you can return to the Switchboard at any time to submit additional requests and make additional connections.
We're in it with you for the long haul.
What if I need more than an hour?
The conversation is just the beginning. Many requests can be solved within the hour. Others, not so much.
If there is more work to be done, finish the conversation by identifying the next steps.
At the end of the conversation, the GCO and the KC may mutually decide to continue the connection with a follow-up or a project if more help is needed.
What is a conversation?
It's just a one-hour conversation around a specific topic. It could be done through a video conferencing tool, WhatsApp, or any number of ways to connect.
This initial connection between the GCO and the KC is not necessarily to solve all the issues. Just make a connection first and discuss the topic or task at hand. If that task can be solved or a resolution plan layout within the hour, great.
At the end of the conversation, the GCO and the KC may mutually decide to continue the connection with a follow-up or a project if more help is needed.
