Today’s podcast is all about videos… and specifically, getting great video testimonials. Rich is going to discuss how to do them so that the people on the videos--your customers!--say things that speak directly to your identity, so that those who are watching get granular, first-hand witnesses that you actually deliver on all your promises. It takes some planning, and it takes some effort, but the end result is well worth it… as you you’ll see… er… hear when Rich plays some samples from his own client archives.

Okay, we’re back with another real live media buying case study… but, with a bit of a twist. As the name of this episode would suggest, Rich ended up paying more for radio for this client in this market than he’s paid for any radio anywhere, ever… but as you can imagine, there’s a good reason… which Rich will explain in detail. But just because he paid a lot, don’t assume that he didn’t get a good deal. Confused? As you’ll hear… media buying is a supply and demand game… when supply is low, prices go high.

Okay, I’m just putting it out there right up front that this is kind of a weird episode of the podcast. I’m assuming that since you’re listening you probably “get it” when it comes to the Level 10 mindset and principles… and you listen so you can find new and practical ways to improve your business. Good for you! But it turns out, not everyone gets it. Like the operator of this sunroom company that’s on today’s strategy call with Rich.
