🎥 Watch Rhode's Testimonial
Rhode V.L. Thelemaque has closed over $10 million in sales across B2C and enterprise B2B deals — working alongside names like Ryan Serhant, ClickFunnels, and Jeremy Miner. When he launched The Black Sales Guy on YouTube in October 2024, he had one goal: cut through the noise and share no-BS, field-tested sales advice that actually works. The only problem? Editing his own videos was threatening to kill the channel before it could take off.
The Challenge
A Week of Work Per Video — Before a Single Upload
Rhode knew content was the key to growing his brand, but the production process was swallowing his time whole. A straightforward edit — no motion graphics, no razzle dazzle — still took a couple of days on its own. Want to make a video actually engaging enough for someone to sit through? Add even more days. He was looking at a minimum of a week from shoot to publish, and that was before anything else on his plate as a sales coach, entrepreneur, and educator.
"If I wanted to just do a stock standard edit with no razzle dazzle, that would take me a couple of days. And then if I wanted to spice up the video to make it engaging and worthy of somebody spending time to watch — that took even more days. You're looking at a minimum of a week turnaround."

Rhode wasn't just losing time — he was losing momentum. For a channel launching from zero, consistency is everything. Posting once a week while personally handling every edit wasn't a sustainable growth strategy. It was a bottleneck that was costing him reach, authority, and the ability to focus on what he actually does best: selling and teaching others to do the same.
The Solution
Editvideo.io From Day One — Shoot Today, Publish in 48 Hours
Rhode came to Editvideo.io right at the start of his YouTube journey — partnering with us from the very first video on The Black Sales Guy channel. Rather than spending a week wrestling with editing software, his workflow became simple: shoot the video, hand it off, and get a polished, publish-ready result back within 48 hours. That's a 7x faster turnaround — and a finished product that, in Rhode's own words, exceeds what he would have put together himself.
Rhode's Weekly Workflow
"I can literally shoot a video today and then within 48 hours get a finished product back. That is amazing and far, far more exceptional than what I would put together."

What Made the Difference
Attention to Detail. Speed. Simplicity That Scales.
48-Hour Turnaround
What used to take Rhode a full week now takes less than two days — freeing him to focus entirely on content strategy and sales coaching.
Engagement-First Editing
Every video is edited to keep viewers watching — the level of polish and energy that Rhode couldn't achieve alone without burning days of his time.
A Partnership From Day One
Rhode trusted Editvideo.io with his very first video. That trust has been repaid with consistent quality and attention to detail on every upload since launch.
The Result
More Time. Better Content. Zero Second-Guessing.
Since partnering with Editvideo.io from the launch of The Black Sales Guy, Rhode has been able to publish consistently, focus on the work that matters, and put out videos he's genuinely proud of — without the editing grind that was eating his week. The quality of his content exceeds what he was producing alone, and the process has simplified his life in a way he didn't expect. For a sales professional who preaches maximizing your time, reclaiming a week per video isn't a small thing — it's everything.
Rhode went from spending a minimum of a week on every video to receiving a finished, professional edit within 48 hours — from day one of his channel's existence.
"I couldn't endorse David and the team any higher. If you are on the fence, I say just hop over and give them a try. I know I did — and it's the best decision I've ever made when it comes to the content and the quality of the product I'm putting out there into the world."
