Using Video to Grow Your Business - An Interview With Ed Troxell

Using Video to Grow Your Business - An Interview With Ed Troxell

Who is Ed Troxell?

Ed is a former Apple employee, a video coach, and online marketing consultant. He teaches entrepreneurs and agents how to stop chasing leads and start attracting them with video made right from phones. He brings a unique skill set from sales, marketing, and strategizing systems and processes to teaching the importance of showing up as yourself on video so that you can stand out from the competition and become the Realtor that people want to work with.

Quotations

“When I left my full-time job at Apple to do entrepreneurship full time and have this business, I realized that the only thing that I could do differently to stand out from the sea of other agents/entrepreneurs was to get in front of the camera, be on video. Now, that terrified me.”

“It's still very much untapped for a majority of business owners, and that includes agents.”

“What camera should I use? What microphone should I use? What lighting should I have? What background should I have? None of that. You shouldn't have any of that.”

“You want to show up as yourself and be more authentic. You don't want to have this Instagram picture-perfect lifestyle portrayal if that's not you. That's too hard to keep up, and people are gonna see right through it. And we're blessed to be in a stage in life right now where we can be more ourselves.”

“Find a teacher that works with you to help you look at what's going on in your business right now. What have you been doing? What haven't you been doing? Where are you spending your time? What platforms are you on? Maybe you shouldn't be on them.”
