Getting a client to agree to be in a testimonial video can be a delicate process, as it requires gaining their trust and ensuring that they are comfortable with the process.
Here are some steps you can take to increase your chances of getting a client (or customer) to agree to be in your testimonial video:
Explain the purpose of the video: Start by explaining to the client what the video is for and why it's important to your organization. Make sure they understand the impact their participation will have.
Address any concerns: Clients may have concerns about being on camera, so it's important to address these concerns and provide reassurance. Address their concerns with sensitivity and understanding.
Share previous videos: If you have produced testimonial videos in the past, share them with the client so they can see the final product and get an idea of what to expect.
Provide a clear and detailed outline: Provide the client with a clear and detailed outline of the video shoot, including what will be required of them, how long the process will take, and what they can expect on the day of the shoot.
Respect their boundaries: Be respectful of the client's boundaries and make sure they are comfortable with the process. If they are uncomfortable with a certain question or topic, respect their wishes and move on.
Offer incentives: If the client is still hesitant, consider offering incentives such as a gift card, a mention in your newsletter, or a complimentary ticket to an upcoming event.
It’s important to build a relationship of trust with the client, be transparent and clear in your communication, and ensure that they are comfortable with the process before proceeding with the shoot.
