It’s not often I come across a service which I think may well revolutionize the way I market my business, so please understand that for me, writing this review has been a lot of fun.
First let me present some background. I was first turned on to the video email service offered by Talk Fusion whilst I was discussing alternative ways to engage prospective customers with a friend of mine, Johan Sandstrom. Johan asked me if I had considered using video email to market to my customers? I instantly formed an image of some cranky third party application that would hog my bandwidth and present clients with something equivalent to a bad amateur video. I was wrong.
What is Talk Fusion?
Before I get into the nitty gritty of providing a full review of the Talk Fusion service, I should probably define exactly what it is first.
Talk Fusion is an email video service that does something very clever; it automatically includes your video image right into the email you send it along with. The person receiving the mail can watch it simply by clicking play. Pretty clever stuff.
Is Talk Fusion Right for Me?
Johan had convinced me that Talk Fusion was like nothing else, and that it was easy to use, yet I was still not convinced. He suggested I talk to an acquaintance of his, Bryan Conley, who had been using Talk Fusion to market his window tinting business based in Florida (www.floridatinting.com) for the last three years. Johan gave me his number and I dialled him up.
Bryan was kind enough to spend quite some time discussing the pros and cons of Talk Fusion with me. However, his very opening sentence had me interested. Now remember that Bryan is a Talk Fusion customer. When I asked him to tell me about Talk Fusion his first words were… “Talk Fusion is a suite of video marketing tools that really helps small businesses or large businesses do one good thing, which is communicate better with their customers. It helps them with customer retention and in keeping their customers smiling. It helps them save money on their marketing costs and at the end of the day helps them make more money.”
What are the Advantages of Talk Fusion?
Bryan went on to stress some of the main advantages that Talk Fusion has given his business. He explained that he had begun to use Talk Fusion in a down economy which was ultimately killing his business. He needed to find some way to stand out from the crowd, some way to engage prospective clients, and he settled on Talk Fusion because it did the following:
* Increased sales – Bryan emphatically told me that the business no longer spends a single dollar on advertising. Talk Fusion has been so successful in bringing in sales that he no longer needs to exploit any other marketing avenue.
* Increased conversion rates – Once again, Bryan stressed that the conversion rate using Talk Fusion is phenomenal. In his own words his business “dominates the market.”
* Increased professionalism – Bryan is entirely convinced that Talk Fusion makes his business look like a million dollar operation.
There can be no doubt that Bryan is entirely sold on Talk Fusion and for obvious reason, he clearly lays much of the success of his current enterprise at the feet of Talk Fusion.
How can I use Talk Fusion?
Bryan also described how his company has used Talk Fusion to entirely personalize the customer experience, from first contact through to quote and conversion (see sample videos). And it is clear to see that by using a little imagination Talk Fusion can be used to make customers sit up and listen very easily.
Bryan confirmed this by giving us a list of just a few of the business that he knows are currently using Talk Fusion effectively.
