With jivesystem, being able to record/upload up to an hour of video opens up more possibilities or uses for these video mails than for just ‘small talks/messages’.

Would you consider implementing a way to receive at least short video messages, maybe with a maximum of 5 minutes, from people who is not a member of jivesytems?

I really like the LiveRep as sometimes people want answers right away rather than going to support and create a ticket!

Eyejot is a video email service; however, even on their best plan they only offer five minutes of recording time. jiveSYSTEMS offers sixty minutes plus unlimited storage and bandwidth. Also, we hold weekly Webinars where we teach you the best strategies and practices to apply video email to save time, make more money, while providing better customer service. Lastly, you getjiveCONFERENCE and jiveREP with your jiveSYSTEMS account for free.

Please feel free to sign-up for a thirty day free test-drive and see if you like jiveSYSTEMS. Just click the link under the Video Interview I did with Dave.

I believe I attended a webcast about 1-2 weeks ago from CoVideo and I think he was there. After the webinar, I received a videomail from him.

I’ve been using Eyejot for some time and I really like their widget I can put on my web and anyone can send me video mail. I think that’s a feature all video mail services should implement. Here is the widget I am referring to: http://janetgarcia.com

THERE ARE TWO (2) MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOUTUBE AND jiveSYSTEMS
1) Success in selling comes from a closed/controlled sales funnel which jiveSYSTEMS offers and a whole lot more! jiveSYSTEMS can be branded with your logo and information from start to finish. YouTube is an open sales funnel which makes it easy for your viewers to get distracted. For those of you who are wondering what distraction within a sales funnel means – IT MEANS YOU JUST LOST A LOT OF MONEY!!!! Also, which service do you think is more professional when sending messages to prospects and clients: YouTube or a professional video email system?

2) We have a customer support team, weekly training webinars, and video email coaching. The coaching element I provide is truly unique. I teach jiveSYSTEMS member’s strategies to work less, make more money while providing better customer service. One need only listen the success stories on our website to know we are the real deal. YouTube offers none of the above. YouTube and similar sites are for video sharing, they can be used to get free publicity; however, when one wants to send a targeted message to an individual or a group of prospects and/or clients a professional video email system is required.

Also, John and Jeremy I would like to directly address your comments. To do so I will use an analogy. Not too long ago, phones were hard wired into the wall. In 1983 Motorola released the first mobile phone. Some might call cell phones a matter of convenience. While others, like myself, would call them something entirely different. The Internet was probably referred to as a matter of convenience not so long ago as well. Please do sign-up for the free test-drive by clicking the link below the video player above, and we will prove everything I am saying to you!

Lastly, there are a myriad of video email companies ranging from free to ones that cost an arm-and-leg. Our platform makes is easy for you to record and send videos, you can even upload videos recorded on a portable camcorder or any other portable video recording device because our system automatically encodes and resizes them. All you have to do is select the video file from your desktop, regardless of the format*, within a matter of minutes, it’s in your video email account where you can send it to you prospects and clients. Cool, Huh? Best of all, when you need help, your membership comes with unlimited support from our Video Coaches; and you will still have both your arms and legs! I promise.

*This Paul Sokol, a video coach with jiveSYSTEMS. We accept the most common video formats. You can import .wmv, .avi, .mpg, .mod, and .asf files. Once the videos are in the system, you can also convert them to flash.

I could write pages detailing the differences, but really the best thing for anyone or everyone to do is test it out head-to-head with whatever workaround they are thinking of.

In other words, try the YouTube example John mentioned above.

Then, sign-up for a Jive account (you do get a free 30-day trial account) and try that.

Then, determine what works best for you.

Keep in mind though, Jive (and similar services) are not just video email. They provide multi-party video conferencing, virtual classrooms, whiteboard presentations and more.

After reading your response is it safe to say this service is more of a matter of convenience instead of something new?
