Today, I want to break down how you can create one video that generates leads, gets people to actually show up to your sales call, and makes them WANT to buy from you. (Prefer to watch it all on video? 👉🏻 Click here) A year ago, I was chasing the wrong thing. I thought I needed to go viral. Turns out, I didn’t need any of that. Because the video that made me over $500K in sales? It only got 4,000 views. So how did a “low-view” video bring in that much revenue?Because views don’t pay the bills, conversions do. Most people create content to get attention.​ Move people from “interested” to “ready to buy.” That’s exactly what this one video does. Last year, I posted 400 times on Linked, but this one video helps me close 90% of my sales and is the center of my strategy. The video? A behind the scenes look at me working with clients to put their videos on easy mode. So how can a video with. just 4k views make 1/2 million dollars? Let's break it down: Step 1: Create Intentional, Lead Generating ContentMost people post to go viral. Big difference. This video wasn’t flashy. “Damn, I need this.” How? • It showed my process. Clients saw exactly how I take their videos from idea to polished final product. Pro Tip: ​ Instead, document your process and turn it into content. Show people what it’s like to work with you, because if they can see it, they can believe it. Step 2: Use Content to Pre-Sell & Warm Up Leads(This books a sales call almost every day on autopilot.) Getting someone to book a sales call is easy with tools like Calendly and DMs. Send them a video like this one to actually SHOW them what it's like to with you before they've even gotten on the call. Before they ever get on a call, they’ve already seen how I work. That’s why this video books a call almost every day, on autopilot. Pro Tip:​ Step 3: Stop Selling, Start ShowingI use this same video when I hop on sales calls. You know what I don’t do on sales calls? Instead of telling people what I do, I literally pull up the video and say, No over-explaining. By seeing the process from start to finish they are more likely to see themselves making content easily. And guess what? They buy. Pro Tip:​ Here’s a couple of Bonus ways to use this video… 1. Use it as a follow up message for people for people who didn't close on the call. It's much better than a "Just checking in" email that immediately gets deleted. 2. Add it to your website or landing pages. Add it to your LinkedIn services or experience section so people can find it on your profile. 3. Put it as many places as you can because it fucking works!

As much as it pains me to say this… I’m pressing pause on vertical video on LinkedIn. The keyword here is “vertical.” For the time being, I’m going ONLY to post landscape videos for LinkedIn. And yeah, this is a big deal for me. I built my ENTIRE brand and business doing vertical video on LinkedIn. So why am I doing this? Unfortunately, LinkedIn has some serious UX problems with vertical video. Let me explain… First, let me show you the data. I ran an experiment with my last 20 videos. 10...
All my life, I've been told to think positively. But last week I realized that's TERRIBLE advice.

I have a terrible confession. I am sitting on an absolute goldmine. And I’ve been keeping this from you for over a year now. Lying to you, lying to my clients, lying to everyone. So, here it goes… Every week, I interview high-level experts for their video content. CEOs, founders, marketing experts, sales leaders, you name it. PHEW. Okay, got that off my chest. Now that monkey’s off my back, let me tell you more… As you probably know, I ask them questions, help them share their expertise, and...
