Gebhard Bösch
Master plumber and heating engineer, owner (Hohenems, Rhine Valley) · Hohenems, Vorarlberg (Rhine Valley)
When an old oil furnace fails in the dead of winter somewhere in the Rhine Valley, Gebhard Bösch's phone is often the first to ring. In Hohenems he carries on his father's business, caught between order books bursting from the heat-pump boom and the worry that his best people keep drifting off to Switzerland. A promise made is worth more to him than any fine print — if it comes to it, he'll still drive out to a customer on a Sunday evening himself.
In Radical Personas, Gebhard reviews your website, ad, or copy from exactly this standpoint — with a Score and reasoning you can follow.
