Ep. 249: How To Use Video To Become Your Prospect's Trusted Advisor

65% of businesses in America fail in the first 10 years, so what does that say about the quality of marketers and sales reps out there?

I hear a lot of “professionals” blaming their prospects. But the problem isn’t the prospect - the problem is the way you’re selling yourself! Because ultimately, prospects buy from people they know, like, and trust.

And if there is any confusion in your sales process, whether it be on your website or during a sales presentation, people aren’t going to buy from you. When you see your prospects are experiencing confusion, that should trigger a mental "red flag" in your head to follow up after the meeting to inject more clarity. Because when you start sending personalized videos that eliminate confusion and provide clarity, your prospects will move to the next stage of the sales process. And THAT is how you become a trusted advisor.

“But what is a trusted advisor, Todd?”

A trusted advisor is someone who:

• Is hyper focused on helping solve their clients’ problem
• Recognizes opportunities to be of service
• Puts the client’s needs above their own

In this episode of Video Marketing Mastery I bring on WireBuzz strategist Jordan Harelle to discuss how we use video to become the trusted advisor. With businesses around the world staying remote well into 2021, making a human connection from our home office is more important than ever. Video can bridge the gap.

My working motto is, “Be so good they can’t ignore you” (Steve Martin). So if you want to be top of mind when it comes to your clients and prospects, take notes on how to use the power of video to become a trusted advisor!
