Geographic friction
|
Hi Reader, Friction kills projects. We see this scenario a lot with our agency partners: Your client is based here in Buffalo. But their best success story is in Philly. Or Houston. Or Denver. You want to capture that testimonial, but the logistics get in the way. That is "Geographic Friction." When the best stories are 1,000 miles away, the math gets messy fast. You are usually stuck with two bad options:
So, the project often stalls. But what if you could take geography out of the equation without losing your brand standards? For these projects, we ship a 4K "push-button" studio kit (the new v3.1 build) directly to the subject's desk. They simply turn it on. We direct the shoot remotely. You get a raw 4K multi-cam recording (or a fully polished video) without leaving your office.
It allows you to service your client's national footprint from anywhere. If you have a project on the back burner because the subject is "too far away," hit reply. We have kits in rotation specifically for this. Simple. Portable. Professional. Neil |

They end up with content that sounds good, but doesn't actually help close a deal or change the trajectory of a sales call. You have...
Hi Reader,Testimonials act as a magnet. Prospects listen to a client's story and immediately think, "That sounds like me." Clear, impactful stories from great clients with great results attract more of the same. But, this is a double-edged sword. If you get a video testimonial from a difficult, low-margin client, that magnet is a problem. You are just going to attract more difficult, low-margin clients. Most businesses are completely reactive with their social proof. They just ask whoever is...
Hi Reader, I've been going on for quite a while about "deep testimonials" - and all the great insights that can be gained by just taking a closer, intentional look at your best clients and what they are saying. But unless you or someone you know talks directly about testimonial videos and knows all the underlying benefits, you aren't going to come to the conclusion that the deep testimonial path is right for you. So, who needs this stuff? Really? It is not the burger joint that is netting $12...
