Follow-up questions they answered
- How does Up with Ivy help with the administrative side of a speaking business?
- Kristen Ziman noted that she previously handled 10 to 15 back-and-forth emails to find time slots. Up with Ivy built a 'one-stop' form on her website that automatically populates her calendar with the client's organization and topic details. — Kristen Ziman
- Can Up with Ivy help a speaker find their brand voice?
- Yes, Kristen Ziman stated that the team was 'truly passionate about finding my voice' and helped her translate her 30 years of law enforcement experience into clear content pillars for her audience. — Kristen Ziman
- What is the impact of a new website from Up with Ivy?
- Ziman reported a major impact because her speaker's reel and service offerings are now in one place, providing a 'clear roadmap' that has led to a significant increase in newsletter subscribers. — Kristen Ziman
- How can a lean team manage video testimonial production without internal expertise?
- Aleksa Narbutaitis noted that while they wanted student stories, execution was difficult due to limited expertise in video editing and interviewing. By outsourcing to Share One, they simplified the process to just sending a list of names and receiving finished, branded videos weeks later. — Aleksa Narbutaitis
- Are video testimonials better than AI marketing tools for building trust?
- According to Aleksa, there is no AI chatbot or marketing hook that markets a program better than word of mouth. She recommends Share One as a 'real human way' to communicate value through voices that matter in an increasingly noisy, AI-replicated world. — Aleksa Narbutaitis
- How do you use video testimonials in a high-touch sales process?
- Aleksa explains that they used Share One videos as soundbites during sales calls and as follow-up materials. This allowed prospects to see themselves in the shoes of previous students who shared common industries, objections, or pain points. — Aleksa Narbutaitis
