Jordan K.'s Feedback

Jordan K. Jordan K.

Conversation Rhythm

Openers came out rehearsed and the follow-ups stalled. Slow down and build the next question from her last answer.

Adjust Next Neutral Keep Doing

Growth Areas

Strong once the conversation gets moving. The opener is the sticking point: lead with a question about her, not a line about you.
