Tired of cold InMails? Try hot videocalls on-demand. Money attached to a call is a solution: either an incentive or a gatekeeper for the attention of hard-to-reach persona of your interest. 1-800-f**k-cold-emails

@darya_migel @elizaveta_uvarova Anyone more fun or entertaining?

@darya_migel @kensavage Fun and entertaining is relative. Let me ask you who’s your favorite stand up comedian? :)

Guys, how do you find those people?

@ivan_bykanov Both offline via our own private network of super-connectors and online with in-house technology for automated people search.

@elizaveta_uvarova and what if the Persona doesn’t show up?
Elizaveta Uvarova

@ivan_bykanov All users are protected by the refund policy. So, if Persona misses the video call, a caller gets money back in full.
Ivan Bykanov
@elizaveta_uvarova Ok, cool. Is there a guarantee the call will happen?
Elizaveta Uvarova

@ivan_bykanov As with any call or meeting, there’s always a chance of cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. We do our best to avoid those situations, and the caller is charged only for successful calls or refunded otherwise. So booking a call is always risk-free.

Who sets the price?

@polina_chunosova Each Persona is free to set their price per minute. The price can be modified at any given moment.
j.a.
@polina_chunosova @elizaveta_uvarova any given moment could be mid-call? That could lead to scam people

@knzio not sure we understand. What do you mean?

@knzio Ah, it's clear now, not during the call for sure. After a time slot has been accepted - the is no changing the price.

So, can you explain again - why people are calling and whom?
Elizaveta Uvarova

@bryan_todd People are calling hard-to-reach Personas from different industries to ask for advice, pitch a product or discuss an idea. They introduce themselves to their Persona of interest skipping cold emails and possible gatekeepers while saving everyone’s time and travel expenses. Experiential videocalls with entertainment industry Personas are also quite popular.
Bryan Todd
@elizaveta_uvarova and why do those answer the calls?
Elizaveta Uvarova

@bryan_todd The reasons vary. Some people do it for money, others out of curiosity, because if someone is ready to pay 20K for 20 minutes of your time, their intentions are serious and they have something important to say. Some people answer the calls because it allows them to filter time-wasters and even if they bump into one on mynameis their time is being paid. Some people donate revenue from videocalls to one of our partner charities.

@elizaveta_uvarova thanks a lot!

@bryan_todd @elizaveta_uvarova I personally love the idea. It's going to open up a new "shark tank" like market. Imagine if you could pay a premium to talk face to face with Mark Cuban, or any other hungry investor. Not only will it increase quality of life for makers, but it will also increase investment opportunities for investors. I see this as a major win-win. Even if the pitch is bad, they still get paid. Really nice product.

When I was first told about this app, I was interested. I know someone will crack the mentorship on-demand space at some point, and I want to see it happen. I think mentorship and gaining access and insights to smart people is incredibly valuable. My Name Is promises no-BS video chatting with awesome people from tech influencers to celebrities and authors by paying for the time. It seems somewhere in between what Whale app was and what Cameo is today. I'm excited to see where it goes.

Thanks so much for your support @rrhoover ! It would be great to see you among our Personas. We would definitely pay for your attention to know PH launch strategies better, and we are not alone here 😉

@elizaveta_uvarova I'm down to try it out. I've used Clarity.fm for years (although I never promote it) to help support my Philz habit. 😅

@rrhoover Haha then we’ve got you covered, you can probably double your visits to Philz with us. Jacob will appreciate it :)

I think this is really cool. My concern is.... if someone isn't going to give you time of day on email or DM then why would they take a video call (something MUCH more invasive and requiring much more effort on the person recieving the call)? The answer... well because they will be getting paid by the minute. This could encourage people to prolong calls unnecessarily in order to maximise profit. Maybe I'm just too broken and cynical.

@mickc79 We are all about ridiculously expensive videocalls and we have several examples when someone was willing to pay like $20k for 20 minutes, to pitch a business idea and the Persona did accept it. Initially out of curiosity and then they ended up doing business. And if someone is ready to pay for attention their intentions are most likely serious. Meaningful conversations you know :)

@elizaveta_uvarova fair enough. I mean no one can say you’re not being transparent about it haha
