Episode 377: Your Video Vault Is Not Helping Your Customers (Do This Instead)

You’ve spent years creating content. Masterclasses, workshops, training videos, recorded coaching calls—you name it. And now you’re tempted (or maybe already committed) to uploading it all into one massive resource hub—a “video vault” for your customers. It feels generous. It feels valuable. But what if it’s actually the thing hurting your customer experience?

Let’s talk about a mindset shift that can change everything in your customer fulfillment strategy: Content ≠ Value.

When “More” Means Confusion, Not Results

There’s a belief many experts carry: If I give more, my customers will get more. But that’s not how transformation works.

Your customers didn’t hire you to get buried in content.
They hired you to get a result. A specific, clear result.

When you overload them with a sea of options, videos, or “choose-your-own-adventure” learning paths, you’re no longer serving them – you’re stalling them.

Imagine walking into a library with 5,000 books and being told:
“Somewhere in here is the answer to your problem, good luck!”

That’s what a video vault feels like when it’s not structured with intention. And that’s why we need to stop equating volume with value.

What Customers Really Want (and Pay For)

Customers don’t want all the content.
They want a clear path, from Point A to Point B, with the least resistance possible.

This is where your expertise comes in. Your job isn’t to show them everything you know – it’s to use your experience to curate, distill, and direct them toward a focused result.

In fact, the more you can simplify, the more valuable your offer becomes.

Here’s the truth:
What feels too simple to you is often exactly what your customer needs.

The Simplicity Shift: From Expert to Guide

Think about something you’re an expert in – driving, perhaps. You probably don’t even think about the steps anymore. But to a brand-new driver, every action feels overwhelming.

Now imagine trying to teach that new driver by giving them every driving manual, every video on parallel parking, and every car review on the market.

That’s the equivalent of your video vault. It’s information overload without transformation.

A great guide doesn’t overwhelm. A great guide filters out the noise and leads their customer step by step, building confidence and clarity at each phase.

What to Do Instead: A Fulfillment Path, Not a Vault

It’s time to treat your customer fulfillment system like a well-designed roadmap. Here’s how:

4 Actionable Tips to Simplify Your Delivery and Get Results

1. Design the Path from Point A to Point B
Start by defining exactly what result your customer should achieve by the end of your offer. Then reverse-engineer the 3-5 core steps they need to take to get there. Build your fulfillment around those steps, not everything you’ve ever taught.

2. Use a “Filter Test” for Content
Before adding a video, ask:
Does this help move them forward in their journey?
If not, it doesn’t belong in your core experience. Put it in a separate vault or bonus library if you must.

3. Group “More” into the Next Step
Customers who complete Point A to Point B successfully will naturally want more. That’s where you introduce Point B to C, and so on. Structure your content into progressive levels, not all at once.

4. Replace Volume with Clarity
Instead of piling on hours of content, provide templates, cheat sheets, checklists, or walkthroughs that help them implement faster. That’s where real value lives.

Still Want a Video Vault? Do This Instead:

If you’re set on offering one, position it as an optional bonus, not the main attraction. Create a “deep dive” library where customers can explore additional content after they complete the core journey. That way, they don’t get distracted from the path you’ve laid out.

Final Thoughts: Simplicity Is Scalable

The more you simplify your customer journey, the easier it becomes to scale. Why? Because simplicity creates clarity. Clarity creates confidence. And confident customers take action and get results—which means they stay, refer, and grow with you.

So if you’re staring at your mountain of videos wondering how to make them valuable… step back. Reframe. Curate. Design a path, not a pile.

Because your video vault isn’t your fulfillment strategy.
You are.
