To connect with us, get to know us, to feel invested in our personality, in our success and to make them feel like we're invested in them as well.” - Tyler Lessard “If all else fails, start with your website. Look at what you're trying to accomplish there. Could video help me tell a bigger, better story here? That's going to create a more emotional connection with those buyers.” - Tyler Lessard “The best strategy for video on social, is to create video content that is meant for the social networks. But that being said, many of us have a lot of great content that we can repurpose and reuse on these different channels. And, that's absolutely an area that you can start and get value from quickly.” - Tyler Lessard Resources Mentioned: Joshua Lipstone LinkedIn Lipstone Insurance Group Tyler Lessard LinkedIn The Visual Sale
