This document discusses how video content marketing can drive B2B sales by focusing on functional, problem-solving "middle of funnel" videos rather than broad "top of funnel" awareness videos. It notes that the most effective B2B videos demonstrate how to use products to solve real customer problems through tutorials, customer spotlights, tips and tricks, rather than just explainer videos. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of measuring video ROI to determine what content actually drives sales.
