7 Reasons not to Work with Us

We love working with companies that really care about their staff and who really want results from their video communication messages.

Of course, we’re not for everyone.  So just to make sure we share the same values, we’ve put together a list of reasons when not to work with us.

If you feel strong resonance with these, then it’s time to bid you farewell (but thanks for visiting).  And if you understand where we are coming from and we sound like the right team, contact us.

1. You don’t want a producer who asks a lot of questions
   
   If you call us out of the blue and ask us to submit a quote based on some of your pre-conceived parameters, we will tell you that we can’t help you.   If you are really serious about getting an effective video production made, we need to understand the complete picture.  Who are you?  What are your training challenges?  How are staff currently trained?  Who are your customers?  What do they think, feel, value, desire and fear?  And so on.  We ask lots of questions because that’s the only way to ensure that we design a concept and write a script that is right for your audience.
2. You’re the expert
   
   So you’ve proofed a script for a corporate video your company made five years ago or you even worked in a video production house back in the 90’s.  You’re the expert and we have to do what you say.  While we love working with experts, we do feel that we are the best advisors for your video production.  Twenty plus years in the industry does that to you.  You are the expert on your training materials or product capabilities; we will collaborate with you to leverage this information to great effect.
3. You like jargon and safe messages
   
   Next generation, second to none (what does that mean, I still don’t know), agnostic platform and innovative solutions.  You like to use safe messages and tired clichés that confuse.   If we don’t understand, nor will your customers.  Instead, let’s write a customer-centric script and avoid technical words.  Even training video scripts need to be written in simple English so that they can be understood by people from a non-English speaking background.
4. You like complicated messages
   
   You have so much to say.  There is so much your company can do.  There is so much about this procedure that staff need to know about.  The beauty with video is that you don’t have to say everything.  Long sentences and big words don’t make you appear clever.  Let your pictures will do the talking.  Less is more.
5. You’re the star
   
   Your company is wonderful and so much better than your competitors.   You literally could talk for hours about how great you are and what you can do.  But remember, it’s never about you or me — it’s all about the customer or the employee.  When you work with us, we produce materials that are customer driven.
6. You don’t really care about staff training
   
   If you just want to tick a box that says you have a training video for your staff, then we’re not the ones for you.  We love working with passionate managers who really want to ensure that their staff are productive and safe.  And if you don’t even have anything to do with training (and you really don’t care less about employees), but you are in charge of a particular department who needs training, you know what to do.
7. You simply don’t care whether the video is effective or not
   
   Hey, success means more work and who wants that? It’s more fun to update your Facebook account or play Solitaire. Unfortunately, there are many people just like that.  And it’s just not us.  The fact that you’ve read this far, probably means you’re not either. Maybe it’s time we work together.
