What is this fact costing you in recruitment, firings, promotions, sales, time, effort and profit? Inconsistent messages give your people, and your clients, a reason to dial out. To disengage. This is bad for everyone involved. Hence the saying, “Don’t tell me – show me.”</p>
<p>With a great training video you can show them exactly what is required and precisely how things are to be done. This form of video education can be measured and can dramatically increase understanding by removing the fog. We have seen this happen overnight when done correctly!</p>
<p>But, like everything else, it takes experience and we have it with trademarked processes for just this kind of show. When your people need to know precisely how something is to be done, a video can make abstract learning concepts become visible and concrete. Confusion vaporizes and your production capabilities soar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bigstock_Energy_1337943.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-115" title="Energy" src="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bigstock_Energy_1337943-300x259.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="259" /></a>People are like zombies at trade shows. They drift past your booth with glazed eyes on a quest to get to the guy with the bright colored, rubber wrist band slogans. Your feet hurt and nobody cares. Your boss expects ‘real’ leads from the investment he’s made to have you there. Your pipeline is thinning and you’re searching for any way to make your numbers and not fall further behind.</p>
<p>A great video is like a magnetic beacon at trade shows, drawing in prospects because they are compelled by what they are seeing on your flat screen(s). The images promote curiosity and questions. The graphics are prompting further explanation and invoking those passing by to stop, look and listen.</p>
<p>Just as “Coming Attractions” draw people to movies; our trade show videos capture imaginations. Our fifteen years of experience have led us to know what kind of images and words create curiosity and motivate people to want to find out more. A lot more!</p>

In a post-crisis economy decisions are made at higher and higher levels where your seen as ‘one of many’. And because of this your prospects go elsewhere with lightning speed leading to lost sales, time and effort. Your pipeline is thinning and you’re searching for any way to make your numbers.</p>
<p>Try this. Have us interview your best clients and watch sales grow. Why? Two reasons: First we have interviewed hundreds of celebrities, government officials and high level executives for more than 15years in television. We know how to get them to say the right things in the shortest amount of time. Second, now your prospects aren’t hearing you say how great you are, they’re hearing a third party say it. And that makes a huge difference.</p>
<p>The best way to convince your clients and prospects of your capabilities is to let them hear powerful comments directly from people who&#8217;ve done business with you.<strong> </strong>At VideoNet, we know what it takes to<strong> </strong>draw out powerful and compelling comments that will make sales soar.</p>

That’s the formula for the way people usually do business. First they have to know you exist, and basically what you do. That’s where a great internet presence can really help. You’re easy to find on line, your site contains video, is exciting and informative, and you have free low-risk offers for them to get their email address. Now they know about you. So you begin to communicate. That used to mean a phone conversation, but today it’s maybe an email. The best sales wins start as simple conversations. Answering questions, investigating what problem they have that you might be able to solve. You have a good understanding of their industry and they start to like you. Now you are at a critical crossroad. Do they trust you? They do if they’ve signed up for your product or service. Cash changing hands is a clear signal that you have earned their trust. Now deliver on any promise you make in an extraordinary way and you have a client for life. Know, like, trust with video.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Video is important, but to consistently attract the right kind of business you have to have a clear understanding about your ‘best fit’ client. The way we do this is we look at our five best clients this year.  What do they have in common? Where are they located? What industry are they in? How many employees do they have? What’s there gross income? This will present a typical profile. Now go look for companies, or people with those same qualifiers.  Why, because that is your target market. Spend your time on ‘best fit’ clients because, not everyone with a pulse is a lead. In fact, here’s our definition of a real lead. A real lead has six qualifiers: An identifiable problem, is attempting to solve that problem, will purchase a solution within six months, your contact is the decision maker, they are willing to meet or talk with you, and has a workable budget for your solution. Video will get their attention, but work real leads and watch you productivity soar. And if we can help, give us a call.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-101" title="clock.png" src="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Quitting_Time_493x383_18419.png-300x233.png" alt="" width="300" height="233" /></p>
<p>Time is what we all want. Time to exercise. Time with our families. Time with our hobbies. Time to go on vacation. Time with our best clients. Time to make more money. And, a great corporate video can help because people will watch it on their own time and convenience.</p>
<p>Here’s another ‘time tool’. Want to improve the effectiveness of every future customer phone call you make? Here’s an idea. Ask them if now’s a good time to talk. That’s it. That simple request of respect can catapult your results. Why? Let’s analyze it. If you start in with your pitch, once you hear your prospect or client’s voice, you don’t really know if they’re listening or not. All you really know is that you are talking. You may be sending out words but nobody’s hearing them! But if you ask the simple question, “Is now a good time to talk?” or “Do you have a minute to speak with me?”, you automatically are perceived differently. You are seen as someone who respects your client’s time, and someone who does not have time for idle chatter. You client may respond, “Sure what’s on your mind” or “Now is not a good time, I’m on my way to the airport”. Now you respond, “What would be a better time for us to talk?” Chance is, she will tell you, and now you have a commitment for her, or him, to listen when you do get to talk together. You’ve booked time. This may seem trivial, but it’s these kinds of distinctions that will give you the edge over the competition in today’s challenging market.<strong> </strong>Call us if you think we can help.</p>
<p>This year we’re going to try something different. I’m going to get on <span style="text-decoration: underline;">that</span> side of the camera but not before I introduce you to Lauren, someone younger and certainly more attractive than I, to better show you how companies are using video effectively today (snap fingers). Hi, I’m Lauren, and I met Ron about 15 years ago when I co-starred in a film he was making, called Life Sounds. Today I’m going to talk to you about marketing and promotional videos. In a post crisis economy uncertainty kills business because people don’t buy what they don’t understand. Inconsistent messages lead to lost sales, time and effort. Our client’s acknowledge that their pipeline is thinning and they’re searching for any way to make your numbers.</p>
<p>A great marketing video promotes clarity, will excite your prospects, is consistent every time and will rocket you to your sales goals…when done correctly! Why? Because video can get your prospects to ‘change the channel’.</p>
<p>Add credibility and sophistication to your marketing efforts by aligning with a great video producer to conceive create and produce a show, with our trademarked <span style="text-decoration: underline;">processes</span>, that informs and impresses your audience, and then influences them to take the action you desire.</p>
<p>Bottom line…we see ourselves as being in the audience reaction business. Through 15 years of uncompromising attention to detail and our trademarked strategies for success, we&#8217;ve produced marketing videos that get standing ovations time after time for demanding clients world-wide.</p>

<p>Do not let a milestone event happen without capturing it. If you do, you may regret it for a lifetime. This special event will occur just once and it’s important that you use it as an opportunity to deliver a specific, well thought out message, or remind others of the struggle, or just thank those responsible for their help in achieving the goal. Avoid the disappointment of choosing the wrong company to help you with this.</p>
<p>After producing many of these, we know that a great celebratory video is one that is engaging and informative. Truthful and entertaining. Heartfelt, unforgettable and truly shared with others forever. Gain the extra mileage that can occur from telling your story in video and then use it i</p>
<p>n various formats such as: at the event itself with large screen high definition and stereo sound, as a DVD, a flash file on your website, on a thumb drive for business calls or have it as a link that can be emailed to others who could not attend.</p>
<p>We will show you step-by-step how to get multiple uses out of the money you have spent and make you the hero of the event by choosing VideoNet to help you through our trademarked celebratory <span style="text-decoration: underline;">production process</span>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/10431624-businessman-running-like-superman.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-89" title="10431624-businessman-running-like-superman" src="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/10431624-businessman-running-like-superman-300x228.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="228" /></a>What could corporate video and the Man of Steel possibly have in common? Here’s a question for you. What makes Superman Superman? Think about it. Okay, that’s enough thinking. I’m going to give you the answer because I know your attention span is short at best. Superman is Superman because he has super powers that you and I don’t have. You know that x-ray vision, flying around. That kind of stuff. We at VideoNet have discovered that every small business, to mega corporation out there has at least one super power. So what’s yours? Ours is the ability to locate that superpower in companies and then get it to the screen, where your clients and prospects can witness it. Understand it. Respect it and want to do business with you. Take a moment today to ponder your best super power. Do your clients and prospects know about it? And here’s the real question…what if they did with a great video? How would that affect your bottom line?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here’s another way to look at it. Super powers come from your problems, because your problems are your power in disguise. Here’s another way to say it: Goliath was the best thing that ever happen to David. Get it? Until Goliath, David was just a puny individual, as part of an outnumbered army. So the story goes. But then what happened? Goliath, a Philistine warrior, appears and says, I’ll take on any one person, expecting the fiercest, biggest, meanest, most powerful warrior to appear…and a petite teenager named David steps forth. Find out what you prospect’s goliath problem is, and offer to help them solve it. What is your ‘Goliath’ problem? Every business and businessman has one. Look at it for what it is, an opportunity to use your power to resolve it. We’re not inferring that it will be easy, it may be extremely difficult to impact this issue, but addressing it, and using your skills to make it go away, is your power. And the fact that you acknowledge it and are attempting to do something about it, keeps you in the mix and is your pathway to future success. Keep working at it and call us if we can help along the way. Fight the mighty battle; win the day, and call us if we can help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cutcaster-photo-100026298-Computer-chip.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-83" title="cutcaster-photo-100026298-Computer-chip" src="http://www.videomakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/cutcaster-photo-100026298-Computer-chip.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="126" /></a>Do ever have a feeling, like me, that your customers are all thinking…”Don’t make me think”? I find that today, people want you to do their thinking for them. Even happy meals have a number now. People don’t want to think. That’s what remote controls are all about. So, spell it out for them. Keep it simple with your video. Tell them the problems you will solve. Tell them how you solve them and then listen. How many times have I opened an email to discover a 1500 word novel about how great this guy’s company is? Doesn’t he know I don’t care? Doesn’t he know I don’t have time to think? Why can he provide me with one sentence that will penetrate my reptilian brain? Are people confused by your brand or message? Is it clear, not able to be misunderstood? Consider reframing your offer by focusing on the pain your customer wants to avoid. Have a secret sauce, and if you don’t have one invent one. We’re not in the video business…we’re in the audience reaction business. That’s our secret sauce. Nobody wants a video. They want a reaction from a video. Clear, simple, fresh. After all, selling is a mental game. Now that’s a bright idea. If we can help, give us a call. Thanks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Simplify your thinking. Don’t think outside the box…think along the edges. It’s too expensive to reinvent your market or do something really outrageous. Like Oprah, giving everyone in the audience a car. Yeah, thanks Oprah for raising the bar for all of us business types. Think along the edges. Like this guy who makes monkey wrenches and sells them only over the internet. Sales sucked. So, instead of giving up he started selling the world’s only left-handed monkey wrenches and today sales are booming. And while I’m thinking of it, don’t try to be your prospects best friend. They don’t want another friend. They want a problem solved or improved. Friendship can grow later, once they become a client. But for now, modify your market by standing out in some way. Your Mercedes-Benz dealer always fills the car with gas when you buy one. Now that’s an example of ‘Edge Thinking’. Call us if we can help.</p>

</a>Today corporate video production shouts your credibility. And, credibility is like currency. Really! Here’s another way to say it, “When people are sick, no one wants to pay for the medicine, but they’d gladly pay for the cure”. To earn someone’s business today they have to know you, know what you do, and like you, because people like doing business with people they like. So, drill down by first having some depth of knowledge regarding your prospect’s industry, then by understanding their pain, their problem… the reason they called you in. And is their problem really their problem, or is it a symptom of something else? Busy executives get sucked into “band aid” solutions all the time. You’re an outsider, so you can be objective.  Speak up. Trust &#8211; is the short cut to any buying decision. Tell them what you think, even if it means losing the sale. Take an aspirin. Tomorrow’s another day, and you’ll gain credibility, currency.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I believe that failure is good. That’s right, I said failure is good. Now before you click off, let me ask you a question. Do you know how a guided missile finds its target? Failure. Inside there’s a complex servo mechanism that only communicates with the missile’s external guidance wings when the missile is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">off</span> course. It trims its tabs and gets going in the correct direction until it fails again, then it trims again. It’s the misses that create the hit. Get it? We know it’s tough out there in this digital world, dealing daily with what really frustrates and motivates your clients and prospects? The ruthless rules of reality state that &#8211; You’re never going to close them all, but if you and your team are all rowing in the same direction with real, workable solutions, you’ll close enough. When they say no to your offer, figure out what they’re saying no to. Video can clear away the fog. Like it or not, the way the world works is we learn more from our failures then from our successes. Be a guided missile. Get to where you want to be headed. The sooner the better right? Call us if you need some help along the way.</p>

At times they have looked sleepy, uninterested and can’t wait for the day to be over. This was my first impression anyway. Our guys wear <strong>VideoNet shirts</strong>(unless hired by a competitor) and are always awake and excited to get well framed, in-focus pictures with crystal clear sound. Attitude is everything.</p>
<p>Do more than is asked, a simple concept that separates the true professionals from the wedding guys. It starts with first observing some determinations as to the level of expertise of your producer and/or people to be videotaped. If you decide that they know exactly what they are doing, then you need not say much at all. Just do your job and follow their instructions. But, if you determine that they are inexperienced, then you usually have permission to make critical suggestions so that their shoot goes much better than expected. Things like cut-aways, room tone, b-roll, their editor will love you for it in post.</p>
