How Video Will Boost Your Sales Engagement

If you aren’t leveraging the power of video in your marketing efforts stop what you’re doing and create or share one right now.

Videos can help you boost sales engagement in many areas of contact with customers and prospects. Including a video in an email may result in a 200-300% increase in click-through rates, according to HubSpot. On a broader scale, video is the most popular content on social media today and has a huge impact on how we share information.

Video is taking over the world...sort of

Today, one third of all online activity is spent watching videos. Just scrolling through my Facebook feed for only 60 seconds I saw 27 videos — translating into about a video every 2 seconds! When communicating with customers, you want to have the most effective content available for a number of sales use cases; what better way to do that than with videos? Making yourself visible to customers in a visual world is vital to boost sales.

Sales Use Cases

• Sales pitch: draw attention to your product information and proposals with an engaging video
• Company overview:  with national to global reach, let your prospects learn more about your company with a company video
• Introduction to the product or service:  these may be overviews or product explainer/demonstration videos
• Client Testimonials:  there’s no better way to sell than by having your customers talk about the value of your product or service

In a sea of video, stand out

Have you ever come across a video online that you have muted, but the little sound bar bouncing in the corner catches your eye so you click to hear the audio? That’s the sweet spot of sales engagement! Particularly when creating sales pitch videos, you want to make sure your video grabs the audience’s attention, pulling them into the funnel. Increase engagement with social media through testimonial videos, webinars, and even product explainer videos. Keep in mind that while there isn’t a one-size-fits-all length for videos, it’s usually best to keep most videos under 5 minutes to make the information easily digestible for your audience, unless warranted.

Deliver your message to the masses

Now that you know all about why you should use video to boost sales engagement, it’s time to figure out how to share your engaging videos with prospects and customers.
