Kudos The Irish concierge service
I happened to meet with a bunch of people behind Kudos yesterday. Its a wonderful idea backed by a bunch of very smart Irish people, they have done some amazing projects lately with lots of businesses and individuals globally.
Basically its a virtual PA with a global address book, you need to get a priest to celebrate a mass in Poland tomorrow,you need a Bentley for the weekend to impress a client or even get your car taxed, Kudos can do it.
I am definitely going to sign-up for this, I need help with travel and lots of other departments and Kudos will take this over for the price of a PA for a day or two on a monthly basis.
Having chatted and kicked the wheels with Irene and the Kudos gang yesterday I think they should change their slogan to “Kudos can do it”
Sounds really good, its about time we got one of these in Ireland. There quite common in America but there’s nothing like it here.
I find the lack of pricing on their site a bit of a turn off though, I don’t think you can pull off a if you have to ask you can’t afford in mentalitly at this economy.
Hi,
I agree it sounds like a great service. There was a similar service available in London when I lived there (I’m sure it still is) but that offering focused upon getting you past the velvet rope of the finer events rather than the broad scope Kudos appears to be tackling.
However, I’d also agree with Ronanob – the lack of pricing is a little off-putting. I did mail the company at about 2.30 and got an auto-response stating – “Regarding your request we will be in touch with a response very shortly.”
I wait…. eagerly!
Great idea alright, there’s a similar group in the UK. http://www.lifes2short.co.uk/
I believe they have a counterpart in the UK whom they work with.
Was chatting to some friends apparently this business has been around for some time and they did some promo where if you bought an 02 phone you got the service free for a while.
Amazing that this is their first mention in the blogsphere!
To be fair, I did get a response to the mail I sent. Michelle Jameson replied the following morning with the information below;
