WHR #98 : Paul Sokol – Mad Scientist

Tim Melanson — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 14:25:50 +0000

As a passionate Thought Leader in Automated Experience Design (such as email sequencing, workflow automation, etc.), Paul enjoys the challenge of leveraging automation for your business, so that YOUR customers have the best experience possible. Paul loves to share his knowledge and understanding of why automation works so well (see “Under The Hair” below). For example, did you know with good automation, your prospects and customers should have difficulty identifying which emails were automated and which were legitimately sent 1:1 from someone in your organization? Automation should only enhance the relationship, always. When you speak with him, you’ll enjoy his masterful blending of technology, human psychology, process methodology and sales philosophy to create a world-class customer journey that’s optimized for YOUR specific business. He is frequently sought after for his ability to break down the customer journey into the empirical assets and then adding the human touch to everything in the marketing/sales/fulfillment process. “Paul offers so much more….and I really think of him as my business partner rather than just a consultant. If anyone is looking for such well rounded expertise, I highly recommend him and would be delighted to speak with anyone about his services.” – Meghan Alonso, IMUA Services Paul likes to work with a whole range of people from A-Listers to companies that just want a little help every month and, while Paul isn’t accepting any private clients currently, he likes to work B2B tech space and B2C product space (particularly music).

Andy was hit by two large vehicles while crossing a busy street in 2011.

He vowed to rebuild his body and spirit using the healthiest ingredients and products he could find. Alitura — Latin for “feeding and nourishing” — was created to offer consumers natural, soothing and effective skin remedies. “The most critical tool for healing my exterior was a handcrafted blend of unique, specialized ingredients from around the world that I formulated myself. They say necessity is the mother of invention, and here we are.” – Andy Hnilo, Founder & CEO
