Questions to Ask When Working with an Orlando Interview Video Production Company

Producing a corporate interview video that you can use to grow consumer awareness of your business or brand, show off customer testimonials or the case studies that you produce, or otherwise draw attention to your business is a lot of tough an calculated work.  Your Orlando business deserves to experience all of the benefits that come along with the posting and sharing of corporate interview videos on your website, social media, or across various other marketing and advertising platforms, but before you hire an Orlando interview video production company to work with, make sure you’ve prepared your screening questions.

Screening each interview video production company in Orlando that you are even considering for the project is a process that shouldn’t be rushed. Planning your questions, so that they align with your project needs and overall goals is essential. To help you get started, Beverly Boy Productions has listed some of the most common questions that come up when clients are asking us about their own projects and trying to decide if we’re the right fit for them. 

For example, these are the questions that you should be asking the Orlando interview video production company before you make a hiring decision:

1. What is Your Favorite Interview Video to Date?

If you even think about hiring an Interview video production company that doesn’t have a favorite past project, you need to think again! If they can’t bring forth their favorite work, you have to wonder if they don’t do many projects of this scope, are not proud of the work they do, or are trying to hide something – none of these potential outcomes are great. Instead, you need to know that not only will the company have a favorite project that comes to mind, but that they’ll have excitement and passion when they share the details with you.

2. Can You Tell Me About Your Most Challenging Client?

Not only do you want to hear about how the Orlando interview video production company that you’re screening dealt with their challenging client, but it’s also important to know what it is that they found particularly challenging about the client? Did the client drag their feet on revisions? Did the client have a very strong mindset of what they wanted and not allow flexibility with creativity? Did the client take a long time to respond? 

Whatever it is that made the client hard to work with is important because you need to know if you’re that kind of client. You also need to know if you’re the polar opposite? Don’t be afraid to ask, regardless of how early on in the screening you are and be honest with yourself and with them if you feel like you have similar traits to those that the company found hard to deal with, they may not be the best fit for you.

3. What Do You Love Most About Producing Interview Videos?

You’re looking for passion here. If you’re asking this question and the Orlando interview video production company has nothing, you’re probably talking with the wrong business! You want to know what they find most exciting about producing corporate interview videos and how that might tie into your project. If they’re not passionate, it could be a sign that they don’t have a lot of experience or that they’re burned out and don’t have a lot of excitement for the project. Both are things that you really would rather not have.

4. What is Your Project Timeline for a Video Like This?

Asking about the timeline is something that you may initially feel awkward about, but it’s important that you get this information out in the open. If you’ve got a deadline of 90 days for your project, and the Orlando interview video production company that you’re considering for the project has a six month backlog, it’s not going to work. Likewise, if they seem to have plenty of time to get started right away, you want to know why they are not busy – it could be that they have a large team, which is a good thing, or it could be that they don’t get many clients, which might not be such a good thing.

5. Can You Provide Samples of Your Past Work that You’re Most Proud Of?

Asking for samples of past videos that an Orlando interview video production company you might be thinking of hiring is proud of will help you to make a final decision as to whether or not they have the skills that are most important to you for your project. If they share work that is not very exciting or fun to watch for you, it could be a sign that they don’t have the same creative level that you’re looking for. Make the decision based on your needs and what stands out most to you – that’s what is most important.
