Hi Reader, Your client is great at what they do. But what is that exactly? Everyone tells you how great the business is. They love working with them. But why? Stop guessing at what makes your client so appealing. Their customers already have the data. All you have to do is uncover it. If you ask the internal team why their top accounts actually buy, or what keeps them from leaving, you usually get polite, vague answers.

And a post-event survey email simply won't capture the raw emotion of the day. Over the past...
Hi Reader, If you run an agency or production team, you’ve likely been forced to pass on a phenomenal client story because the subject was located three states away. When a key executive, client, or user is in Denver, Houston, or LA, you’re usually stuck choosing between two bad options: The Travel Budget Trap: $600 flights + $250 hotels + $1,200 crew day rates + lost productive travel days ($2,500+ total cost) . . . and that is if everything goes according to plan. The Webcam Trap: A grainy,...
Hi Reader, Video is great, but the real ROI is the insight. If you only use a client interview to produce a 90-second video clip for your website, you are leaving 80% of its value on the table. Yes, video builds trust. And, yes, having a client point out the specific ways your business is great is an effective way to engage with your ideal clients. But video is just the vessel. The real business asset is the customer intelligence hidden inside the conversation. When a client talks about...
