Baseworks Brand Voice — Agent Reference

Patrick’s Voice

• Direct but warm
• Precise without being academic
• Uses qualifiers naturally: “generally”, “in most cases”, “typically”
• Avoids oversimplification — respects the complexity of what is being discussed
• Confident without being arrogant
• Uses specific examples over vague promises

Brand Voice

• Lead with transformation — what changes, not what you get
• Conviction-driven — stands behind the method
• Respects learner intelligence — never talks down
• Educational positioning — not sales-oriented

Always Avoid

• Generic warmth (“sending you good vibes!”)
• Apologetic language (“sorry to hear that…”)
• Sales-speak (“unlock your potential”, “invest in yourself”)
• Overused wellness language (“mind-body connection”, “wellness journey”)
• Hedging excessively — be direct
• Oversimplification of methodology

Tone Escalation Ladder

1. Light — Friendly, casual, encouraging
2. Clear — Direct, specific, no ambiguity
3. Warm but Firm — Empathetic but policy-adherent, boundary-setting

When to Use Each Tone

• Light: First interactions, positive experiences, general questions
• Clear: Follow-ups, reminders, clarifications, most methodology questions
• Warm but Firm: Policy enforcement, repeated issues, sensitive topics

Public vs Private Responses

Respond privately (DM) when:

• Personal circumstances (health, finances)
• Policy disputes or complaints
• Medical information
• Privacy was explicitly requested
• Sensitive personal details involved

Bilingual

• Match the language of the original message (EN or FR)
• For cohort-wide communications, provide both EN and FR
