Unappreciated

Earlier this month I sent an e-mail to my IT person here at work. It basically says “I got all my reports on time today. Thank you” We have been going through some really major computer changes and for the last three months I had not received anything “on time.” I have been trying to be more vocal about things that went right. (focusing on the positive) We ALL hear about it went it goes wrong, and hear, and hear, and hear. (I have a customer service type job and I hear a lot about the mistakes.)

So What does this have to do with Dragon Door???

This morning, after working out, while driving into work, I realized something. Now it wasn’t anything I did not know, but had not really thought about. My first purchase from Dragon Door was way back in 1999: Beyond Stretching: Russian Flexibility Breakthroughs and Power to the People! : Russian Strength Training Secrets for Every American. Over the years, I have purchased many more books, DVDs, Kettle Bells from both Dragon Door and RKC’s. I have always recommend Pavel’s work, Dragon Door products, and RKCs for trainers. I have read countless articles, posts and blogs here on the forum. I have also found many other great products from the members on this site: Z Health, Holosync and Precision Nutrition to name a few.

Now the thing I realized, I have never once posted a review for any product or RKC I have trained with.

If I really want to get vocal about the good things in my life, I need to that here. So to start, if you have read all of this a big Thank You to you. Now I need your help. I evidently have a lot of reviews to type up. I would like some feed back on what you look for in a review. It may be wrong but I don’t want to be just another “it/he/she is great! I give it a 10” review.

What is it about a personal statement that made you try a new product or visit one RKC over another? Was there a review that made you hesitant in purchasing or seeing a RKC? Do you just skim the long list and read just the short ones? Do you take the time to read the long reviews? (I know I have gone through and only read the reviews with 9 or less rating.)

RKCs – I know these reviews are part of your self promotion. What do you like to see in a review? Comments on your skills as an instructor? Comments about your classes: format, facility, other students? (I walked into one class and my first thought was “these ‘soccer mom’ have fabulous arms.” The muscle definition was awesome, you know like Madonna great.) Comments on personality and teaching styles?

As a RKC, do you read your reviews here on Dragon Door? Do you make changes if you see negative feed back?

***It’s ok to tell me I am way over thinking this.***
