"It was 7:55am on a Wednesday morning when I walked in to a packed real estate seminar.  I asked to lady who registered me if I was late because there was a gentlemen already talking.  She said they invited a guest speaker to share some amazing technology.  The gentleman was near the end of his presentation when he showed a video email.  I was absolutely blown away.  You see, I have never seen a video email.  Heck, I didn't even know there was such a thing as video email.  After he finished up and I picking up my jaw from hitting the floor, I when up to him and got a business card so we could meet."

I new instantly that this was the future of real estate, business and personal communication.

On the way home from meeting Steve I stopped by Circuit City and picked up a webcam.  It took me about 10 minutes to set up my webcam and video email.  I started sending out video emails to my sellers to give them updates on their listings. What would normally take about 2 ½ hours only took 20 minutes.  Well, at first it took a little longer because some of the sellers called me back to tell me how neat the video was.  I've never had that happen before.

Below are some of the ways I use video email to separate myself from my competitors:

• When I get prospect leads they all get a personal introduction video email
• The header, footer and business card are all customizable with directing URL addresses - so when I'm talking to someone in the video I direct them back to my Tampa real estate blog and Tampa foreclosures pages.  This allows me to interact with them.
• Home movie (video) tours are emailed to Realtors and prospects
• Seller and buyer updates
• Market updates
• Happy birthday and holiday greetings
• The list just goes on...

The advantages have been huge for me:

• My conversion rate has tripled
• My call-to-action rate has almost doubled
• You can be notified every time the video email is watched. You can use it for tracking.
• I get my message out to customers, prospects, friends...exactly the way I want
• I have had several people that have come up to me and introduced themselves because they've recognized me from my video emails
• When I first meet sellers and buyer they feel like they already know me.
• My ROI has gone through the roof

The advantages of being first to market with new technology are huge.  Of course in the next 2 - 3 years everyone will be using this technology and the newness will not be there.
