Through her guidance, I was able to clearly design my pitch; I identify with my audience, explain how I can help them and give a call to action.

I'm looking forward to the next sessions where we'll learn microphone and voice techniques and figure out how to shave off those extra 6 seconds.

I hired Jared's Moving Service twice and experienced significant operational issues both times…read more During my first move, the movers used another customer's storage access code, creating a serious conflict with the storage facility that escalated to the point where police involvement was discussed. Despite multiple calls from both myself and the movers, Jared did not come on site and minimized the issue. Rather than completing the move as planned, the company redirected to a different storage facility as they refused to continue working with the initial unit, resulting in additional disruption and expense. Jared attributed this to the storage facility rather than acknowledging it as a company error. Regarding the second move, the movers themselves worked hard, but the management and communication did not. Most of my communication was with Brent, and in the weeks leading up to the move I dealt with repeated scheduling changes, incorrect arrival information, confusion about storage logistics, and repeated communication failures. I repeatedly had to follow up just to obtain accurate information, resulting in additional expense, disruption, and lost time. The billing process was similarly frustrating. Before booking, I received a written estimate from Jared's Moving Service for a straightforward move between two storage units. After the move, I received an invoice that exceeded the estimate by more than $1,000 and included charges not reflected in the estimate. When I questioned the invoice, Jared first told me there was no estimate on file. After I told him we both could access the estimate email, he changed his explanation to say it was only a "4-hour minimum move estimate," not a full estimate. Again, not accurate as I have the estimate. After this conversation, several charges were removed, confirming that the original invoice was not accurate, but the bill was still much higher than the estimate and did not reflect any deduction from the moving company mismanagement, which I asked for. Jared told me he did not have the "capability" to make any further changes. I told him the dispute was not resolved. The most concerning part of this experience was how the billing dispute was handled. The company had saved my credit card information from processing my deposit over the phone without authorization from me. When Jared texted that he intended to charge my card. I immediately responded by both email and text that he did not have my authorization to charge it until the dispute was resolved. Despite those written instructions, my card was charged anyway before the dispute was resolved. I also asked that all further communication regarding the dispute come directly from Jared because many of the earlier issues involved Brent. That request was ignored, and Brent continued contacting me. After this experience, I revisited the company's negative reviews and found that many described concerns similar to mine. I wish I had paid closer attention to those reviews before hiring the company. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Jared's Moving Service. Moving is stressful enough.
