Check out these episode highlights: 01:36 - Charles’ ideal client: Ideally, Tom, anybody that is self-employed, and in an advisory role. I work quite a bit with financial advisors, insurance agencies, also business coaches. 02:06 - The problem he helps solve: The average advisor in almost any industry doesn't necessarily have a really clear or concise, or better yet, even a fun or interesting way to kind of describe who they are or why they're different in a short timeframe. 03:31 - The symptoms of the problem: The marketing is probably a little bit, has become a little stale, or they're unhappy with it. Or they're having to reply with the same copy-and-paste message in the email over and over. They're regurgitating the same message over and over. 04:39 - Clients’ common mistakes before consulting Charles: Copying what everybody else is doing, especially, in some of the folks that I've worked with. Have you ever seen an old Xerox copy that showed your age right there? I said zero instead of copy, you know, a photocopy. 05:33 - Charles’ Valuable Free Action (VFA): Sure, before you create any video, or even do any marketing materials at all, I've created it, it's one of the other things that my guides give away. But I'll just tell you right here, and they'll probably need to pause and write these down. 06:29 - Charles’ Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Want to find out how you can do more by doing less?

If you're doing it this way, get a mic, get it for you. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “A video will not just go viral.
