What Were the Challenges?

Alltech Coatings is one of Brisbane’s leading high-access painting companies. They were already providing a great service for their customers, but they were looking to solve three main problems with video.

Low Website Conversion

Successful conclusion of a business transaction.

Alltech were generating sufficient traffic to their website. But people had to go looking for the right information.
This led to lower conversion rates into enquiries and appointments.

Price Comparison

They used advanced technology and management systems to reduce down time for customers.

But clients compared them against competitors only on price because they didn't see the additional value Alltech brought.

Sales Objections

When people got into sales calls, prospects were not always educated enough about the risks of making bad choices.
So there was too much pressure to deliver all that information in a short space of time. This led to confusion and as a result more sales objections.

Our Solution: What We Did

First we created a three-minute 5D story video that did exactly that. It captured the essence of what Alltech is all about, showed how they are unique, created a connection with the audience through their story and showed the value of how their customers benefit from their uniqueness.

This video is now used not only in Alltech’s proposals helping them stand out, but is also central to all of their communications, so people can experience working with them before they’ve met.

We then made 4 other videos that answered typical doubts and fears that their audience already has about Alltech’s industry. Fears about costs, not knowing when to look for a painter, what to look for in one, etc.

Alltech can now use these videos to drive traffic to the website.

The reason these type of videos are so effective is that they are designed to enter the conversations that are already happening inside the viewer’s mind about their problems. By answering these questions upfront, Alltech is able to build trust and confidence before people even visit their website.

Once people have watched the videos and are guided to Alltech’s website, they are greeted by the 5D Story Video.

This is where trust is built, shows  Alltech’s uniqueness, and then guides them to the next stage in their sales process. 

This will help Alltech Coatings increase their conversions to enquiries and sales as the video pre-frames these conversations. All our clients get a step-by-step implementation plan for every video we make. 

The Results

This is what Jared had to say about the videos and the strategy:

“We’ve got a video and we can put that link in the email or we have software where we can embed it into the quote itself. We have a chance of actually then sending that out prior to the meeting and putting a face to the name of the business and building a connection in a way that, they might feel a bit more compelled to choose our services. Because they feel like they know us and can trust us.

Enables us to not just talk about it on a piece of paper, but actually show them. They can see our team working in action. They can hear the passion behind our brand and what we do”.

He continued…”It’s definitely going to take our business to a new level and it’s going to help us get a lot of clients. Yeah. We got to get a bottle of champagne and celebrate because it’s awesome. It’s just something that we can be really proud of. Can’t wait to show everyone”.

Here’s what Thuy had to say about it…

“They (prospects) are gonna get to know who we are by that story. And then when they’re on the phone with us, I think they’ll feel more comfortable and we won’t have to really sell ourselves as much because the video really has it all”. 

Why Alltech Chose to Work With Us

From our first meeting all the way to production and delivery, things moved fast. Jared had watched our 5D Story Video and wanted us to do something similar for Alltech.

So I asked Jared what was it about the video that made Alltech decide to work with us?

This is what Jared had to say: “I just hadn’t seen anything like it before I instantly connected with that video, and your message. And so then I instantly assumed that you’d be able to do the same for us.

I think about things in a way that might be a bit different to a lot of business owners. For instance, like if I’m looking to get a website designed and someone approaches me and they’re only charging say $1500, $2000 to build a website, my first instinct is that, okay, you’re not able to build something that markets yourself in a way that you can get a higher ticket for your services. 

Therefore you’re not going to be able to do the same thing for me. So, it’s somewhat of a process of elimination. You know, there are these companies pumping out, just cheap marketing videos. If they’re not capable of selling their own services in a way that they get what they’re worth, then they can’t do it for us. 

 I look at opportunity costs more than anything. So you spend a couple of thousand dollars on something that doesn’t have an effect that’s that’s money down the drain, spend it on something that then, you know, brings in half a million dollars in extra revenue, it’s a much better deal”.

Key Takeaways

The key takeaway here is that video is no longer just a numbers game. Creating a lot of videos and hoping some will work is not a strategy that’s effective any more.

To make video work for your business, the key is in starting with the problem that you’re trying to solve.

Most sales problems are communication problems. By first, identifying the roadblocks and then using the most engaging medium of communication that is video, you can solve these problems once and for all, for your business. 

And once solved, by integrating the videos into your sales process, you permanently change the way in which people buy from you and perceive your brand.
