What is PPL Brand Voice?
Above all, we are friendly and reassuring. Our tone is informal, but not overly familiar. A little humor is OK when the context allows. We sound like a human being, not a corporation. With very few exceptions, we don't talk about ourselves in the third person, so it's "we are ,,," not "PPL is..." Similarly, we don't talk about "our clients," and instead say, "you."

What are the benefits of collaborating with a facilitator? When should a consumer opt to work directly with PPL rather than through a facilitator?
PPL or one of our partners can serve as a CDPAP facilitator. Some of the reasons a consumer or PA might consider working with one of PPL’s partner facilitators is if they have an existing relationship with one as a previous fiscal intermediary, if the facilitator’s offices are in their area, or if the facilitator provides specialty support for the consumer’s or PA’s needs. PPL can also be your facilitator. PPL can provide services in hundreds of languages, has experience working with specialty populations, and will have offices throughout New York.
