How This Creative Agency Added $147K In Video Business Clients - Master Filmmaker Review

What's going on, guys? I'm here with one of our clients, nick, who added 147k to his video business and is now doing 15k a month. What's going on, Nick? How are you?

Doing well, how are you?

I'm doing well, man. I guess for maybe anybody who doesn't know you, do you mind just telling us a little bit about yourself and kind of how you got started into this and kind of what that's. That journey has looked like up to this point?

Yeah. So I've had my business for 10 years. Probably the first seven or eight years of that I was kind of exclusively doing music videos. But then eventually I got to the point where I realized that music videos, even though most of my clients are returning clients, there was nothing concrete, there was nothing set in stone. And I would kind of get a booking and then I'd wait a few months for my client to book me again. But there was no monthly recurring revenue with that. And so came across one of your ads. I was intrigued about just the idea of monthly recurring revenue and so decided to hop on board.

Nice, dude. I love it. And kind of what was coming from music videos going into this? Obviously you wanted more recurring revenue, but like, what was kind of the biggest issue for you establishing that recurring revenue and what kind of. What was kind of some of the issues you were running into there?

Yeah, well, I hadn't even really heard of the concept before. I just kind of thought that as a videographer you would just be able to take one off projects and that you just hope for the best and you get what you get. But I loved your idea of having packages and programs that you could have a 3 month or 6 month or 12 month package that you could pitch to your clients where you could give them a variety of videos that each kind of solve a problem and each have like a specific superpower of lead generation or of lead nurturing or of building trust with your clients. And those packages could be really attractive to your clients because it could help bring more money and more revenue to their business. And so that was really attractive to me, just realizing that I could pitch a full package to a client for, you know, three to 12 months and get monthly recurring revenue each month from that.

Yeah, absolutely. And I guess, was there anything. Because obviously there's some other programs out there and I'm sure everyone provides value. But I guess what kind of like drew you into maybe our program over maybe some of the other programs that you've. You've seen?

I think the Biggest thing that drew me in was your case studies and the testimonials that you were getting from other people. I think that first of all it just made sense. And then second of all, seeing what you were able to help other people achieve, that was kind of the thing that, that made me take the final.

Leap, which you're one of them now, man, I love it, I guess. Was there anything that's been particularly effective or helpful within the program that you feel like has really helped? Anything within kind of what we've worked on, obviously setting up an inbound lead generation system, building out the sales process, all that. But has there been anything that's been particularly helpful to you?

I guess so many things. I mean, I would say that a lot of the things that I learned in your coaching program, I now use those same principles with my clients. So you helped me to set up my inbound system and, and now I'm able to kind of replicate my system and give a system similar to that to my clients where I give, you know, I build out their funnels and I help them with their email and their text automations. I can help them with their ads on the backend because I learned all that stuff from you. And so that has made my offer so much more valuable because now it's more than just shooting videos. Any videographer can come and press record and edit the video. But now I can say to my clients, not only do I help you build an irresistible offer, but but I also shoot the five types of videos that you need to take your clients from knowing nothing about you to becoming a paying client. These videos do all the talking and selling for you. It's like having a whole team of educators and marketers and sales reps and customer service reps that take your clients on this journey and work for you even when you're sleeping. And then I can also help you build out the systems and the automations and everything on the backend that make it so you basically just push a button and you just press go and then it just runs automatically on the back end, even if you're on vacation or even when you're sleeping.

Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of clients want that, right? They want content that's actually going to get them a result as opposed to just content that is content that lives there and is pretty. And you figured out a way to solve that which is making you immensely more valuable. And that's obviously why you're getting rewarded for that value, because you're providing a better service and you're solving bigger problems for these clients, you know, which they otherwise wouldn't have been able to get solved, which is huge. And I think a lot of people can take note of that if they're watching this. It's like, how can I solve a bigger problem for my client and how can I get them that result? Kind of a weird question, but I guess, like, where do you feel like you might have been if you hadn't taken the leap and jumped in the program? Because obviously it's an investment. Obviously it's scary to invest in yourself and, and take the leap. But I guess, like, where do you feel like you might have been if you hadn't done that?

Yeah, it was scary. And I was hesitant. I did a lot of research before jumping in. I think I watched all of your case studies and all of your testimonial videos. I was nervous. I didn't know what the price was going to be. I had kind of an idea and. And the price was higher than I thought it was going to be and I didn't actually have the funds to pay for it. What I love about you is that you have a financing program where you were able to say, no worries, we can get you on a much lower monthly payment. You can pay that off anytime you want without a penalty. There's no interest for the first 12 months or whatever. And that was very attractive to me and honestly was kind of the final push that was able to help me take the jump. And so if it wasn't for that, I think that I'd still kind of just be stuck in the grind of shooting, shooting music videos. I think I'd be okay. I'd probably be surviving. But now I feel like my business is thriving and I feel like you have kind of given me the vehicle to add rocket fuel to my lead generation machine and make it so that now I'm not. I don't have to worry about cold outreach. I don't have to worry about word of mouth or referrals because I have a system that brings in a constant stream of clients. Right now I'm booking two to three sales calls a day with my clients.

And.

And so having that constant stream of people who are interested in working with me, who are coming to me and I don't have to reach out to them, has been invaluable for my business.

I love it, man. And last question, I guess if anybody's on the fence about maybe booking a call and speaking with us and just seeing if it's a fit for them, I guess. What advice would you give them?

I would say do it. This is honestly, you know, coming from someone who have been in your shoes, I had your same doubts and skepticisms and hesitations. I think a lot about the coaching sessions that we've had, the things that you've been able to offer me. And it has become so valuable for my business. And now, like I said, I still use. I use those same principles and strategies to help my clients grow their business. And so you know what you're talking about. You are an expert in the field. You absolutely dominate in this arena. And so I would say, you know, take. Take the leap, take the jump. It is scary and that's okay. And you probably will wince a little bit when you see the price, and that's totally okay. But that just kind of goes to show that you're worth it and you have the case studies and you have the social proof to back it up.

Well, dude, I appreciate it. It's super fulfilling for me to see you win and see our clients win and help you guys to get to the next level. And I think the ultimate thing that I've always had to learn with coaching, too, is like, you are the asset. If you're not investing into yourself as the asset, then how can you expect other people to invest in you by paying higher prices for your video services or whatever it is that you're selling?

Right.

So I'm super pumped for you, man. It's literally just the beginning and I can't wait to do another one of these when you're at like 40, 50, 60, 70k a month. And we'll keep pushing from.

Love it. Thanks so much.

Absolutely, man.
