Mallory EricksonHOST
Um, so my name is Mallory Erickson.
Mallory EricksonHOST
I'm the founder and CEO at Practivated.
Mallory EricksonHOST
We're the first-ever fundraiser readiness platform, so we help fundraisers, um, prepare, practice, build muscle memory to close the gap between insight and action, um, through virtual role play and, um, and AI-driven coaching.
Mallory EricksonHOST
And we partner with coaches and consultants because we think about that as, um, as supporting coaches and consultants as opposed to replacing them, and I'll share a little bit about that later.

Mallory EricksonHOST
The challenge in our space a lot of the time is, like, then there's, like, y- you know, like, the right CRM is not the right CRM for every single organization, so sometimes it can be really hard to just, like, pick one thing and kind of go all in like that.
Mallory EricksonHOST
So I think I only think about referral if I really, really want to, like, advocate for something in that way.
Mallory EricksonHOST
Um, the other thing I'd look for, and I'll share how we do it with, at Practivated later, but our, like, referral program through Practivated actually is, like, where clients, they get a referral link, but they're not, they're not sending it to folks to say, like, "Hey, do you wanna buy Practivated?" They're sending it to folks to give people an opportunity to use Practivated for free as a part of their offering, so it's really value-based, and then we track the referral on the back end.
Mallory EricksonHOST
But it allows consultants to give something valuable, and then if late...
Cherian KoshyGUEST
And it will do that.
Cherian KoshyGUEST
Now, it's kind of imperfect because it's not trained specifically as a fundraiser like as a fundraising training and there are bespoke tools that do a better job in fundraising like Practivated does a very specific job to do something like that but in a pinch like in the car I turn on Gemini and I'm like I'm going to practice a conversation that's coming up that's consequential like an interview that I'm going to go on or a talk that I'm about to give these are really useful tools that people just space on.
Cherian KoshyGUEST
They don't even think about it.
Cherian KoshyGUEST
I'm like, this is really where it can sing, where it has a lot of value on because it will evaluate what you say and give you feedback on it.
