The trick is getting people to understand (<em>and believe!<\/em>) what you\u2019re saying. And that\u2019s where testimonial videos come in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/testimonials-statistics\/\">According to a Wyzowl survey<\/a>, <strong>37% of people <\/strong>believe testimonial videos are effective because they&#8217;re<strong> more authentic <\/strong>than a business&#8217; own pitch. Testimonials are a valuable way to build credibility, win trust and generate <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/social-proof\/\">social proof<\/a> &#8211; three of the most important things for growing your customer base and increasing sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Testimonial videos are a great way to do this because they showcase people <strong><em>like<\/em><\/strong> your audience and reassure them of their purchase. Nobody wants to make a decision they\u2019ll regret. <strong>Testimonials mitigate that risk.<\/strong> The bottom line of any testimonial is: <em>try it, I did, and I don\u2019t regret it<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we\u2019ll highlight some awesome businesses and their testimonial video success stories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Kettlebell_Kings\"><\/span>1. Kettlebell Kings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kettlebellkings.com\/\">Kettlebell Kings<\/a> is more than just a seller of kettlebells. They\u2019ve created a community where people can get training programmes, <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/health-video-production\/\">increase workout knowledge<\/a> and even become certified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has utilised this community to encourage customers to create and share their reviews and testimonials. According to Jay Perkins, cofounder of Kettlebell Kings: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cWe feature product reviews heavily on our site. On our home page, on our product pages and more. When someone is in the prospect stage, they read the feedback in the reviews and that becomes their expectation for what their experience should be like.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has had great success with this strategy and recently made the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inc.com\/inc5000\/2019\/top-private-companies-2019-inc5000.html\">Inc. 5000<\/a> list of fastest growing privately held companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kettlebell Kings further boosts the value of their testimonials by encouraging customers to share them on social media. Perkins says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cWe re-share customer submitted videos every day and we always quote the customer on it. We believe this encourages more sharing because people want to tag us so they can be featured with their comments shared on our page.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an example from Instagram: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B4L4OSpHWdV\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Frenchfluency<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frenchfluency.net\/\">Frenchfluency<\/a> is a tutoring website ran by a French learning coach called Angel Pretot. Video testimonials and case studies featuring Frenchfluency\u2019s clients have greatly helped the business to convert more leads. Pretot highlights the importance of customer testimonials when it comes to the language learning industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cI&#8217;m a 6-languages polyglot so it&#8217;s easy for potential clients to believe that I am an expert at language learning. What&#8217;s not easy for them is to believe in themselves. Often, they have been trying to learn French for years (sometimes decades) and have very little to show for it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>It&#8217;s hard for them to believe that getting a 1-1 coach or enrolling in a group coaching program will help them make progress fast within the following months, as if by magic. Especially as my &#8220;competition&#8221; keeps promising impossible results and failing to deliver (and most potential clients have already suffered from this). Video case studies and testimonials help with that.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To encourage customers to participate in video testimonials, Pretot offers a one hour coaching session for free (the usual price is $200) and uses a small portion of that time to record the testimonial. So the customer gets a great deal, and so does the site &#8211; because the testimonial can be used to bring in more customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Pretot mentioned above, many potential customers already feel discouraged and like they have failed when it comes to learning French, so it\u2019s important to show the perspective of happy customers to help them believe in themselves again. Pretot continues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>\u201cWhen your potential client can see people just like them telling where they were at before they worked with you, how they felt (often mentioning the exact same doubts and insecurities), and how their French skills, life and confidence evolved thanks to enrolling in the coaching, suddenly your sales job becomes so much easier.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an example of one of Frenchfluency\u2019s testimonials: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Testimonial: French Fluency Accelerator + 1-1 coaching - Kristen&#039;s experience\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ROT1YKimzj8?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These videos are featured on the French Fluency Accelerator page of the site, which has a call to action button to encourage new customers to sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, the video is quite basic &#8211; no more than a screen-recorded video chat. But this just goes to show that you don\u2019t need a video with lots of bells and whistles to generate great results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key takeaways: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Utilise happy customers to instil confidence in potential buyers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage customers to give testimonials by offering them something of value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include call-to-action buttons on the same page as your testimonial videos<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Cardinal_Digital_Marketing\"><\/span>3.

The company uses video testimonials to win new customers from specific industries and niches that they work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, they generated <strong>18% more organic client leads from video testimonials<\/strong> alone. They also found that 40% of new customers viewed their Case Studies page prior to becoming a client. When speaking about the key to <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/testimonial-video-production\/\">creating a great testimonial video<\/a>, CEO of Cardinal, Alex Membrillo, said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cWhen looking for a client to feature in a testimonial or <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/case-study-video\/\">case study<\/a>, you want to begin looking for clients who have been with you long enough for there to be data available to show results. On the video side, you need to identify customers who you think will be comfortable in front of a camera. We always offer to film the testimonials at their office, as we\u2019ve found customers are usually more natural or less nervous at their own office.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Next, make sure you have a plan for distributing or sharing the testimonials. Awesome testimonials that no one sees are a waste of resources. I also recommend leveraging the content for sales proposals and digital collateral marketing materials.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out one of Cardinal\u2019s testimonial videos below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dental One Partners Marketing Testimonial\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ozaFnTxpMbQ?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posting your testimonial videos on YouTube, as well as on your site, makes it easy to share and distribute them across other channels &#8211; ensuring you get as many eyes on them as possible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look for the best (most suitable) clients to feature in your videos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Track your results<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure you have a plan for <a href=\"https:\/\/wyzowl.com\/video-distribution\/\">distributing your videos<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_KPOP_Foods\"><\/span>4.
