How I Use Tella for Client Deliverables
(And Why It Cuts Follow-Up Emails in Half)
If you deliver client work — audits, system builds, reports, walkthroughs — you know the follow-up email spiral. You send a detailed doc. The client reads it. And a few days later, you get three questions about things you already covered.
It’s not that they didn’t read it. It’s that a written document can only go so far. It can’t show someone where to click or explain a decision in a way that actually sticks without a visual.
That’s where Tella comes in. I’ve been pairing my client deliverables with a short Tella recording for a while now, and it’s one of the simplest things I’ve added to my workflow. Here’s exactly how I use Tella for client deliverables — and why it works.

Pair the Recording With the Doc, Not Instead of It
The shift that made the biggest difference was stopping trying to make the written doc do all the heavy lifting.
I still send a doc. It covers the key decisions, the structure, what’s where. But I pair it with a Tella recording that walks through what the doc says — visually, in my own voice, in real time.
I use Tella two different ways depending on the service.
For Asana Audits, I send a written summary of my findings and recommendations, then record myself walking through it. I’m not building anything — just showing the client what I found, what I’d change, and why. The recording is what turns a document full of notes into something they can actually act on.
For Asana VIP Setups, where I’m building a custom Asana workspace for the client, the recording walks through what I built — where things live, why I made the choices I made, and what they need to know to actually use it day to day.
Either way, the whole thing usually takes ten to twenty minutes to record. And the doc plus the video together means the client has something to read and something to watch. One covers the details. The other makes it land.
Make It Look Clean Without Trying
The editing side of Tella is where I save the most time.
It automatically trims silences, so I’m not going back and cutting out every pause manually. The video comes out tighter without me touching anything.
The zoom feature is the other one I use constantly. If I’m walking through something in Asana and I want to draw attention to a specific button or field, one click zooms right in. It makes the recording feel intentional and easy to follow — without any extra editing work on my end.
And on the days I’m not feeling camera-ready — which honestly is most days when I’m heads-down in client work — I just don’t show my face. Screen share and voice only. It still sounds professional, it still gives the client everything they need, and I’m not delaying a delivery because I haven’t done my hair.

If you’ve been looking for a screen recording tool that actually gets out of your way, I’d recommend Tella. I switched from Loom after too many glitches at the worst possible moments, and I haven’t looked back.
