Course 08 · Lesson 5 of 6
Appendix A: quick answers (all GREEN unless marked)
| They ask | Say |
|---|---|
| Why is it called Holly? | "It's the assistant's name." Never joke about Red Dwarf (D11) |
| Can it be funny? | "Humour is the hardest thing for any writer. It can draft lighter; keep the jokes yours." |
| Email or blogs? | "No, deliberately. Keep your email tool." |
| Other languages? | "It's built for English. Other languages aren't something I can offer you." |
| An app? | "It runs in your browser. There isn't a phone app, and I won't promise one." |
| Build this feature for us? | "We don't build bespoke features for one customer. If many firms need it, it goes to the team; no date." |
| White-label or resell? | "No, that isn't something we offer." |
| Training? | "You start by telling Holly what you want, and we set up your first voices and drafts with you." |
| Switching is a hassle. | "There's very little to move: people connect by link, build a voice in five minutes, and you can bulk import planned posts." |
| We have a listening tool. | "Keep it. Watch is tied to what you do next: see what moved and write a post from it in your voice." No alert figures |
| A sales-intelligence tool gives engagement signals. | "Keep it. Maktura is about your people posting in their own voice; you see who's engaging with your own posts." |
| Won't big players copy you? | "Some will try. What's hard to copy is a voice for every person, your rules before posting, and a team that will talk to every early customer every week." |
| Competitors will see what I'm doing. | "Your posts are public, as they are now. Your drafts, rules and plans stay in your workspace." |
| Where does the news come from? | "I'll get you the detail from the team." Route to Dom; no source list |
| Post to website journey? | "No, it doesn't do that." |
| We use a legal content platform. | "Keep it. How many of your lawyers posted on LinkedIn in their own voice last quarter?" |
| When can I have it? | "I'm not going to give you a date, because I'd be guessing. What I can do is show you exactly what it does now." |
| How long to build? (AMBER) | "It was built by a small team over about three months." Say only that; never "seven days a week, one person" until Dom confirms |
