When GoGoGrandparent was still just ten people we started using the messaging service Slack to communicate between operators internally.

Some innovative soul made a channel called #woohoo with a small and simple purpose: share when grandparents say something that makes you smile.

Here’s a peek from the channel over the last couple days (edited for punctuation and to not give away identity!).

Andrea [6:18 AM]

Gloria- DEAR GOGO…FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU..AGAIN, FOR GIVING ME MY ACTIVE LIFE BACK. WITH YOU, I’M BUSY’ BUSY…WITH BUSINE$$!

Alexa [11:12 AM] Evelyn G. wants us to know that she always feels safe with the drivers and appreciates the prompt service. Also she loves that the operators speak slowly and concisely.

Juan [7:23 AM] Catherine M. said that she loves our service, “you guys are very reliable and always there to help”
