This is when we decided to move from text-based communication to visual communication.

We are a virtual company at Convince & Transform. A few years ago, we were immersed in text-based communication, with a seemingly endless stream of emails. While attending our annual planning retreat in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, we decided we had enough. We often roll out our best ideas while basking in the sun on margarines, and our new focus is on ending text-based email madness as well. is not an exception.

We need to communicate our ideas, plans, and questions faster, better, and easier. So in 2017, we started adding visual content, including videos and animated GIFs, to our emails. New idea? We create a video. Need to explain a new initiative? We create an image quickly. Need to explain how to do something? We create an animated GIF with step-by-step instructions.

And I can tell you: IT HAS BEEN DIFFERENT IN OUR BUSINESS. Really, I can't express it enough.

We understand our ideas faster. There are fewer questions. We close new businesses more quickly. We spend less time emailing each other and following up. We waste less time on meaningless meetings and instead spend more time focusing on what matters: doing good for our customers.

Video allows us to easily see the emotions of our teammates, not to mention that this strategy has saved us considerable time and money. We wouldn't be the company we are today without visual communication.
