How well does your company share stories of your past work? Many remodeling companies know that client testimonials are important, but are wasting the opportunity because of a lack of understanding around what a testimonial is supposed to do. In this episode Logan and Aaron are breaking some of the most impactful lessons they've learned over the years making impactful testimonials that actually sell more work. They walk through why most testimonial videos fail, the biggest mistakes contractors make when trying to capture them, and what it actually takes to create a video that builds trust and drives real buying decisions. From choosing the right setup (DIY vs. photographer vs. videographer) to structuring the story, asking the right questions, and editing for impact, this episode is a full behind-the-scenes look at how high-performing testimonial videos are made. If you've ever thought, "We should probably get a testimonial for this project," but weren't sure how to do it right—this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.
