Navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, nothing quite rivals the complexity of mastering an efficient workflow. That's exactly the challenge Joe Joe Morris faced — a complex puzzle of inefficiencies that threatened his profitability. Balancing a multitude of content projects alongside consistent commitments, Joe Joe found himself at a critical crossroads after years of dealing with diminishing profits.
In April, he made a decision to confront this challenge head-on, embarking on a strategic journey to repair his workflow. Armed with determination and a clear vision for transformation, Joe Joe actively sought out innovative solutions to streamline his processes and breathe new life into his business model.
As Joe Joe scaled his business, the workflow became a significant stumbling block. High-volume projects strained his capacity, and the traditional model of hiring more editors proved to be unsustainable, leading to Joe Joe editing up to 140 hours per month, which took a toll on his mental health and family time.
In his own words, "I was editing roughly 140 hours per month, which is atrocious. And I was doing sales, I was helping my contractors, I was hiring new people, running a team of two to three people at any given moment. In April, I was scaling so much content that I was struggling to spend time with my family.”
However, a glimpse of hope appeared in the form of an Instagram ad from a professional editing agency, Edit Crew, offering unlimited video editing and quick turnarounds. Initially skeptical, Joe Joe resonated with the ad's description, seeing his frustration mirrored in the promise of a solution. Within 12 hours, he was in a meeting with Edit Crew, and in just 14 days, two impressive projects were completed. Beyond immediate relief, Edit Crew provided Joe Joe with a plug-and-play system, transforming his editing pain point into streamlined efficiency. Collaborating with a dedicated project manager, he could focus on continuous content improvement, sharing enhancements seamlessly with his clients.
The transformative moment came when Joe Joe recognized the power of Edit Crew's plug-and-play system. The seamless portal, providing a centralized view of all projects, was a game-changer. Joe Joe appreciated how his clients had direct access to watch and comment on videos, enhancing communication and meeting expectations promptly.
Reflecting on his experience, Joe Joe stated, "Edit Crew's portal is a lifesaver. You log in, it's easy, you can see all the projects that you have within one page. There are statuses at exactly what stage the project is at. All my clients at any given point have access to watch videos once they're done. So if anybody needs to add a comment, it's directly put into the video, which is so helpful to relate and relay the information to my clients so that their expectations are met every single time.”
With Edit Crew handling the editing workload, Joe Joe found relief and stability, allowing him to concentrate on time-sensitive tasks. The impact on his business was profound, instilling corporate boundaries that impressed clients.
Xmenno Media's journey with Edit Crew wasn't just about outsourcing editing; it was a strategic move that restored balance and professionalism. Transparent communication and seamless collaboration with the Edit Crew team were indispensable elements for building a successful partnership.
Edit Crew's reliability in providing a 40-hour per week editing volume played a crucial role in alleviating Joe Joe's concerns about exceeding budgets. This stable editing base allowed him to focus on scaling his business without the worry of additional costs.
As he puts it, "Every single day I knew that we were on an 8-hour timeline. I wasn't worried about people charging me an extra 10 to 12 hours for a project which would push it over budget. When working with Edit Crew, I always felt prioritized, for every single project I gave them. I knew I had a standard of quality that I would receive every single time. And they were always finding ways to improve on it."
