Frequently asked
- 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
- How can I tell if my practice is invisible to potential patients online?
- Dr. Diane Mueller noted that Mike from Health Biz Scale showed her exactly how patients were searching for key topics where her name did not appear. This identified a 'huge gap' between what patients wanted and her practice's actual search criteria visibility. — Dr.Diane Mueller
- Is SEO effective for generating high-quality patient leads?
- Yes, Dr. Mueller emphasized that the quality of leads increased significantly, ensuring callers were the 'right fit' who could actually invest in her business. This allowed her to eliminate other marketing strategies entirely. — Dr.Diane Mueller
- What makes Health Biz Scale different from standard SEO agencies?
- According to Dr. Mueller, the agency uses a developer-mindset to optimize sites beyond standard marketing, offering creative solutions like high-ranking online quizzes and custom lead magnets rather than a cookie-cutter approach. — Dr.Diane Mueller
