The interview
What was your process for collecting testimonials before using Share One?
Before using Share One, I didn't really have a very good system. Most of the time I would forget to ask for testimonials, videos, or reviews, other than periodically when I would randomly think about it.
What was your initial reaction to the Share One service model?
I had this huge epiphany moment. I was excited to have someone else take some of the bandwidth off of my plate because I didn't have to do all of the steps, the editing, or the reach outs to make sure to get people to actually give a testimony.
How do you utilize the content Share One provides?
When I saw the quality of the videos, it was exciting because I had an opportunity to use the full video, the reels, and the snapshots. I put them into effect immediately. I also use them on my YouTube channel for my podcast, Close It Now, where I created a dedicated testimony playlist.
Can you share a specific success story from using these videos?
Just yesterday, I got a brand new testimony back and shared it on social media. I tagged the person interviewed, and he reshared it. Immediately, the director of that division at his company asked for my number because he wants to have a conversation for an enterprise-level training for that organization.
What is the experience like working with the Share One team?
They are simple and easy to interact with. I recently worked with Brian on some edits for a video featuring a gentleman with a thick accent. We emailed, then he just hopped on the phone to shortcut the process. I actually look forward to interacting with them; it's not like working with vendors where you have that dread.

Yes. Sam Wakefield shared a Share One video on social media and, by the next day, a director at a major organization requested his number for an enterprise-level training conversation.
Is it difficult to get specific edits on automated video testimonials?
Wakefield noted that interacting with Share One is simple; when he needed specific edits for a client with a thick accent, the team hopped on a phone call to shortcut the process and deliver the desired results immediately.
