Personalized Video and Personal
Branding
Before we dive into the benefits, let's define what these two words mean. As a whole, personal branding is about defining who you are, what you stand for, and what makes you unique. While personalized video references creating video content that is tailored to your individual viewer, whether it’s by using their name or addressing their specific pain points. When these two are done together it creates a lethal combination.

Personal Branding

Videos and Personal Branding
Gaining prospects' trust is critical when it comes to them choosing who they want as their realtor. With personalized video and personal branding you can establish trust early on in the process. A great example of a video that can help you establish trust is a client testimonial video.

If you have a clear and authentic personal branding and have humanized the sales process with personalized video, your clients will be able to better speak to your work and who you are as a realtor. Along with client testimonials, recording personalized follow-ups and answers to FAQs are great ways to help establish trust with your prospects.
