Talking points:
Webinars help you generate more leads for your company. By partnering with a brand who has a similar audience, you’re able to tap into each other’s network to generate more leads that could use your services. Provide follow up to these leads after the webinar and give them additional resources and a way to contact you when/if they need you.
Talking points:
Educate your leads.
Send information about your product/service.
Stay top of mind with your leads and show them why your company is an expert.
Talking points: Your marketing team should already be creating content for you to use. If not, here are some tips to work closely with them and make communication easy so you can get the ball rolling
Talking points: Your marketing team should already be creating content for you to use. If not, here are some tips to work closely with them to get the ball rolling:
Prospecting isn’t easy. With growing pressures for developing pipeline, sales reps are casting a wide net in hopes of catching a few fish. We’re sending emails, making phone calls, and reaching on social channels (like LinkedIn) to try and get as many bites as possible. The process is not only time consuming, but it’s also frustrating when you don’t get the response rates that you’re looking for.
And what do we do when we the meeting requests aren’t rolling in? We send more emails, make more phone calls, and fire off more InMails. Quantity is superseding quality.
And what do we do when we the meeting requests aren’t rolling in? We send more emails, make more phone calls, and fire off more InMails.
We keep relying on these traditional methods of outreach.
Too much noise. It’s noisy out there. With some many solutions competing for your prospect's attention and budget, they are being inundated with constant sales outreach. Rather than doing more of the same, you need to find a different way to get and hold their attention.
Traditional methods cold and impersonal. As much as you try to “personalize” your text-based emails, your prospect knows you’re sending the same message out on mass. Not only are they not compelled to respond, they also may be hoping that you won’t notice if they ignore you (since you probably have so many other prospects to follow up with).
Information consumption has changed. The buyer has changed - they want to consume information differently. Instead of reading about your product, they want to watch a short video to get all the information the need to do an early evaluation of your solution.
The average person receives 100 business emails per day, and chances are many of these emails aren’t even being read. Who has time to read 100 emails a day? And manage to get work done? No one - which is why we skim through our inboxes, reading as little as possible.
We are also seeing a shift if the way information is being consumed
Last year, Youtube reported that there are now 1 billion hours of video being consumer per day on their site.
Reference: https://youtube.googleblog.com/2017/02/you-know-whats-cool-billion-hours.html
How does that translate into buyer behavior?
When it comes to hearing about new products, 59% of company decision makers are turning to video as their preferred way to learn.
Reference: https://images.forbes.com/forbesinsights/StudyPDFs/Video_in_the_CSuite.pdf
So, how can we get their attention and introduce ourselves, if they won’t read our emails and they won’t pick up the phone?
By interacting with our prospects through video.Video is becoming our prefered channel of consuming information. We have to adapt how we approach our outreach if we want to engage with our prospects.
Grab attention & evoke delight: At a quick glance, text-based emails look the same. By adding a video thumbnail to your emails, you grab a prospect’s attention by doing something as simple as holding up a white board with their name on it. It evokes intrigue and delight, encouraging them to click and find out what you have to say.
Form a connection: You can’t be everywhere. And as much as you would like to introduce ourselves to prospects in person, it’s just not possible. Building trust and forming relationship is hard you’re not able to have that face-to-face interaction. Video humanizes you, and helps form an immediate connection with the person on the receiving end.
Make it personal (for real): Prospects are used to receiving templated emails where the company name has just been swapped out. Needless to say, these messages hardly feel “personal.” With video, you can delivered a tailor message that shows your prospects that you understand their business and their needs.
Vidyard GoVideo makes it easy to connect with your customers and employees through video. Easily create, share, and track personalized videos right from your computer.

Selfie Introduction:

Meeting Follow-up
