What is the 1-to-1 Video?

This is our personal stationery. Who doesn't like a handwritten note? Today, I'm going to share with you a strategy that you can use both in your personal life and professionally to leverage the video capabilities of your smartphone and have the same impact as the handwritten note. My name is David Vogel. I'm the owner of Remote Video Testimonials and we help businesses leverage the video capabilities of their smartphones to drive sales. Now Today is day 28 of my 30 day video challenge. I want to thank everyone who's been watching my videos. I have a small favorite ask today. Many of you have been liking the videos and I've even seen some people in person who've been enjoying telling me they've been enjoying it. Can I just do me a quick favor and even if you're not even going to watch the whole video, just do me a favor and just like the video, let me know you're watching these videos. Let me know that I'm not just talking to my iPhone. You want to put a comment in. Great. That would be awesome as well. So let's get into today's strategy. So this video that you're watching right now, I call a one to many video. I made one video, I'm making one live video and I'm sharing it with the world. This is how most people make videos. But there's another kind of video out there and it's called the personalized video. It's a one to one video, meaning you make one video that's made to be seen by one person. Let me give you an example how I use this in my life personally. So last week it was one of my oldest and dearest friend's birthday. And besides obviously wishing a happy birthday on Facebook like we all do. And also I sent him a card but I wanted to do something more. So what I did was I tried calling him of course, and he wasn't available. Took out my smartphone and I shot a two minute video message and I sent it to him then and I got a response the next morning when he got a chance to watch the video was really appreciative. And it actually the following day we ended up having a two hour phone conversation was great to reconnect with him. So sending video messages, especially for someone he lives in another state, especially for someone that you don't get to see, a lot of it really has an impact. Now that was done on the personal side. Let me give you an example professionally. Now, this will really mean a lot to those of you that are business owners you're in sales or marketing is before a sales conversation, right after a sales conversation, or even after you finish a project for a client, sending them a personal message can make a huge difference. I'll give you an example. Just finished a project with a client, finished their remote video testimonials and besides sending him an email thanking him, I recorded, I took out my phone and I recorded a quick one to two minute video message and I sent it to him and immediately the next morning again from him responded back to me after he watched it, was really appreciative and said he's planning on doing more business with me. So using personalized video can have a huge impact on the relationships in your life, both on the personal side and on the professional side. Now there's one thing I have to teach you here. Really important to share these videos. You really want to have them on a video hosting platform. So I use an app on my phone. It's a free app. There is a paid version if you're going to do this a lot, but there's a free version. It comes from a company called Vidyard V I D Y A R D and basically you download this app, you record the video through the app and and you actually share the video either via text or email through the app. Now what's really great about this, not only do they take care of the video hosting for you, but when that person watches that video, you get an email notification so you'll know the minute that they've watched it. I hope you found this helpful. Please try using personalized one to one video messages in your life. Let me know how they work out for you. Please like and share this video and I will see you tomorrow.
