Video Testimonials.
Testimonials provide
evidence that you actually do solve clients’ problems and in fact, offer some great
benefits. Written testimonials from someone on your website are one form – and
are certainly better than nothing – but prospects are sometimes hesitant to
believe them if they’re not from a known person at a known company.
Video testimonials, on
the other hand, are a little trickier to ‘fake’ and therefore, seen as more
believable.
With the superb
filming anyone can now do with mobile phones.
Here are some
tips
- Relax your customer and offer some guideline
- Try to film where the lighting is best and against a plain backdrop. Also try to avoid places with excessive background noise
- Don’t use a script, the testimonial will sound like it is being read
- Keep the video short, 45 to 60 seconds is ideal
- You must always film the testimonial right at the moment you client is excited about the results. If you try to do it after the event, they have moved on and you will find it more difficult.
With trial and
error over the years I have found that the best format for that video
testimonials and it is broken in to three parts.
You might have
to coach the person giving you the testimonial and if you mess up, you simply
record it again.
Part 1
The Credibility Builder
The first 20
seconds of the video testimonial is the person giving the testimonial stating
who they are and what they do (their mini elevator speech)
Part 2
The testimonial.
Ask them not
to use words like fantastic and great, but rather focus on results.
What really captures
viewers are the benefits you provide for customers and the problems you solve.
So instead of focusing a
customer testimonial on “automation” think of “time saved”, instead of
“web-based” think “easy access”. Think benefits all the time.
