something's missing.
Well, the secret weapon thatcould unlock the next level of
growth could be sitting rightunder your nose, and it's in the
form of a powerful tool you'relikely already familiar with.
It's called video.

(00:51):
So today I'm gonna show you howto use video to drive more
sales and share the four musthave videos every business needs
to succeed, and the secret isyou only need four kinds of
video to make it's so simple.
So let's dive into what you'rehere for.

(01:16):
How can video become your mostpowerful sales tool?
If you want to drive sales, youneed the right content, and not
just any content.
You want video content thatconnects with your audience,
builds trust and positions youas the authority in your field.
And here's the secret Videoactually does something that no

(01:42):
other content can it humanizesyour brand.
It builds trust and it givesyour prospects an inside look at
who you are, what you do andwhy they should care.
And the more trust you buildwith your audience, the more
likely they are to buy from you.
It's not just about making arandom set of videos.

(02:03):
It's about making the rightvideos, the ones that answer
your prospects' questions, solvetheir problems and move them
closer to buying.
Okay, let's go over the fourmust-have videos every business
needs to successfully market andsell.

(02:25):
Number one is the case studyvideo.
Case studies can be your verybest salespeople.
They show potential clients theresults they can expect from
working with you, usingreal-life examples from your
past clients.
When you're crafting a casestudy video, make sure to

(02:47):
highlight the challenges yourclient faced, how you solved
their problem and the measurableresults they achieved.
Focus on the before and aftertransformation and, most
importantly, make it relatableby telling the story of someone
just like them who overcame thechallenges.

(03:08):
The second type of video is whatI call the why we're different
video.
In this video, you want tochallenge the status quo.
You want to go out there andbust a myth, go against
conventional wisdom, and this ishow you can differentiate your
business from your competitors.
So this is where you talk aboutyour unique approach, your

(03:29):
values and what sets you apart.
It's not about bragging, butinstead it's about showing
potential clients why they can'tget the same value anywhere
else.
The third type of video that youcan make is what I call the
process video.
A process video can actually beyour secret sales weapon,

(03:52):
because people are alwayswondering how does it work.
So you can give them abehind-the-scenes look at what
you do, show them step-by-stephow you deliver results.
Not only does this build trust,but it also positions you as
the expert in your field.
This is a really great one toput on your About page.

(04:16):
This is a really great one toput on your about page, and you
can actually literally give themthe experience of what it's
like to work with you by takingthem through an actual moment
where you are doing coachingwith a client and record that
and make that into part of yourprocess video.
And the fourth type of videothat you can make are the
frequently asked questions, andthese FAQ videos are absolute

(04:40):
gold.
They address common questionsand objections that your
potential clients might have.
Think of this video as a way topreemptively overcome
objections and move peoplecloser to making the buying
decision.
Now, of these four types, themost powerful is the case study
video.
So let's get into the finedetails of crafting a case study

(05:05):
video that does the selling foryou.
When I make a case study video,I focus on three things.
First, I start by clearlydefining the problem the client
faced before they came to me,and then I'll dive into the
process that I use to solve thatproblem, without getting too
technical.

(05:25):
The goal here is to make itsimple and relatable.
Finally, I'll showcase theresults and show the data, share
the success stories and thereal impact that working
together with one of my favoriteclients made.
The more specific the resultsthat you can share in this video

(05:45):
, the better.
You want to think of a casestudy video as a testament to
your expertise.
It's like a personal referralfrom one of your happiest
clients, but in video form, andbecause it's their face and
their personality in the video,it makes it feel real, authentic

(06:06):
and powerful.
So now that you have a betteridea about the power of video
for driving sales, it's time totake action.
