# Video walkthroughs done right

Lesson 7 of 8 · 7 min read

A 4–7 minute video walkthrough can dramatically accelerate buyer interest, *if* it's done well. A bad video does more harm than no video.

**What to cover.**

\1. 30 seconds: who you are (first name only is fine), the metro, the route size, % recurring, and why you're selling
\2. 60 seconds: walk around the truck and trailer, briefly show the equipment
\3. 90 seconds: route map (in your software, names blurred), show the density visually
\4. 60 seconds: a typical day's flow (do not film at customer properties; film at your shop or a public location)
\5. 60 seconds: the systems, billing, communication, scheduling
\6. 30 seconds: what's included in the sale and what isn't
\7. 30 seconds: what kind of buyer you're hoping to find and how they should reach you

**Production basics.**

\- Phone on a tripod or gimbal, no shaky handheld
\- Outdoor or well-lit indoor; avoid backlit (window behind you)
\- Lapel mic ($30 USB-C lapel beats the phone's built-in)
\- Speak slowly. The most common rookie mistake is rushing.
\- One take is usually fine; over-editing looks slick in a way buyers distrust

**Confidentiality.**

\- No customer faces, addresses, or property details
\- No close-ups of bank statements or customer lists
\- Host on Vimeo or YouTube unlisted, share via NDA-protected link
\- Don't post on social media

**Why bother.** Buyers traveling from out of state will not invest a flight on a listing without a video. Multiple buyers report the video tipped them from "interested" to "ready to LOI" within a week.
