Hi, welcome to be to be revenue acceleration. 4 00:00:14.789 --> 00:00:18.350 My name is Dancy Brook and I'm here today with Tyler Lessard, BPM 5 00:00:18.429 --> 00:00:23.179 marketing at video. How you doing, tyler? I'm absolutely great. It's 6 00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:28.339 a Halloween celebration here day today, so I'm full up in my Ted Lasso 7 00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:31.260 costume, so I'm having a heck of a good time today here. Dad, 8 00:00:31.339 --> 00:00:35.299 how are you well? I'm not dressed up as a dead last, 9 00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:38.490 so I actually I'm the party boop Bro. I'm dressed in normal blood but 10 00:00:39.049 --> 00:00:43.009 you know, I'm good. It's a Friday we're talking before this pool you 11 00:00:43.049 --> 00:00:46.530 said. I'm busy. Vp of suves Q, for is actually the last 12 00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:49.929 day of our few three today. It's it's all good. Fortunately, we've 13 00:00:49.929 --> 00:00:53.600 done a record quarter, so it's kind of wouldn't say it's feat up the 14 00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.479 shore, but it's it's a little bit less pressure than they normally would be 15 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.359 on the last day of quarter. Well, it's great to hear congrats on 16 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.120 closing out the quarter. congrats on sounds like a record quarter, but we 17 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.549 all know, as you know people in the sales community, it's only when 18 00:01:07.549 --> 00:01:11.030 we're recording. It's October twenty nine. I calculate at least five days left 19 00:01:11.069 --> 00:01:12.709 in the quarter. You can go through till like October thirty four. So 20 00:01:12.909 --> 00:01:19.060 you sat exactly that, exactly that. So to get started with the with 21 00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:22.739 the discussion today, the podcast today, be great if you could give a 22 00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:26.379 bit of background to our listeners on on yourself, but also your company. 23 00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:30.019 I know it's about video prospecting today and you guys are pretty much deleted in 24 00:01:30.099 --> 00:01:32.260 that. So it'd be great if you could just give a bit of introduction 25 00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.650 into that and yeah, my pleasure. So my name is Tyler lasard. 26 00:01:34.689 --> 00:01:38.930 I am the VP marketing and chief video strategists here at Vid Yard. VIDE 27 00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:45.849 ARD as a business, we provide a suite of video technologies to businesses. 28 00:01:46.090 --> 00:01:49.480 We have video hosting and management platform for marketing teams, but in recent years 29 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:55.680 we have seen the growing adoption of our video messaging tools for sales teams, 30 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.799 which is really designed to make it easy for anyone in sales to be able 31 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.349 to record and send personal video messages, screen recording videos right over via email 32 00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:09.110 or social channels to their prospects and customers as, frankly, just a better 33 00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:13.870 way to communicate their messages when we can't be there in person anymore. So 34 00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:16.300 that's been a really exciting area of focus for us and I personally have been 35 00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:21.780 spending a lot of time in the sales community understanding how are people using video 36 00:02:21.860 --> 00:02:24.939 in different ways, what's really working for them to see success and how can 37 00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:29.340 we pull the best practices from that and share them with others? So excited 38 00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:31.009 to explore that here today. All right, absolutely. If you look at 39 00:02:31.009 --> 00:02:34.610 Your Business, the lost couple years, to your point, around trying to 40 00:02:34.610 --> 00:02:37.689 connect with people by video, because we go basically not being an ounce to 41 00:02:37.729 --> 00:02:39.770 do that in person. How have you have have you seen that impact your 42 00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:44.639 business, postively or negatively? I'm I've lost year and a half of set. 43 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:46.639 Yeah, well, it's been really interesting and, to say the least, 44 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.439 the last couple of years. I think we all know that in the 45 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.439 world of sales, like couple big things have really happened. Of course, 46 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.750 the great virtualization has happened, which both means we're more and often than not 47 00:02:58.949 --> 00:03:04.469 selling remotely, but also it means our customers are buying remotely. Less and 48 00:03:04.509 --> 00:03:07.830 less they're having people into their offices, if at all. More and more 49 00:03:07.909 --> 00:03:10.590 they're buying committees are distributed from each other. They're no longer all getting into 50 00:03:10.590 --> 00:03:15.020 the same meeting room together for, you know, a live or even video 51 00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:17.180 call with with you as a sales rep so there are a lot of changing 52 00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:23.500 dynamics that are happening purely because of this sort of surge in virtual selling and 53 00:03:23.819 --> 00:03:27.330 buying. Obviously, as part of that, video has become a huge thing. 54 00:03:27.729 --> 00:03:29.889 A lot of us are doing, if not all of us are doing, 55 00:03:30.009 --> 00:03:32.569 zoom calls, Google meets webex is, whatever it happens to be, 56 00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:38.129 and that has started to at least normalize the use of cameras and microphones in 57 00:03:38.370 --> 00:03:43.400 our lives as salespeople and business professionals. So we kind of have this new 58 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:49.080 baseline we're working with where we're all at least comfortable now getting on camera communicating 59 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.159 over video. But that's now also open this door for people to be able 60 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.710 to do more with video than just live calls. The live video call is 61 00:03:55.789 --> 00:04:00.590 a great replacement for the in person meeting or the phone call. But what 62 00:04:00.710 --> 00:04:02.310 about all those emails we send? You know? What about all those slack 63 00:04:02.349 --> 00:04:05.870 messages we send? Well, a video message can actually be a great video 64 00:04:05.909 --> 00:04:10.860 alternative to those as well. So that's starting to happen as sales reps are 65 00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:14.340 getting comfortable at least with video and camera and starting to find these tools to 66 00:04:14.419 --> 00:04:17.139 go hey, I can record and send a short video to prospect somebody to 67 00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:21.660 introduce myself or to walk through a else proposal to help close a deal faster. 68 00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:26.009 So it's all these interesting sort of burgeoning use cases of video that we 69 00:04:26.089 --> 00:04:28.209 started to see, which has been, you know, great for our own 70 00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:30.930 sales team and, of course, great for all the companies that we work 71 00:04:30.009 --> 00:04:33.370 with. So to your point, there a sounds if you're seeing, you 72 00:04:33.490 --> 00:04:38.639 know, and an up and or at least their wider adoption of video technologies 73 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.360 in different part of the s would fund of my perception for from an outsider 74 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.560 looking in on the company like yourselves, and just you know, teams did 75 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.199 a generally, you adopting video as part of their their outreach of that KDEN. 76 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:55.189 So that day today, work and practice is that it feels to me, 77 00:04:55.230 --> 00:04:57.430 and I might have their wrong perception here, but it feels to me 78 00:04:57.550 --> 00:05:01.709 that the generally speaking, video or adoption of video messaging as a prospecting channel 79 00:05:01.709 --> 00:05:06.980 within says, say with development environment, seems to be perhaps still a relatively 80 00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:11.060 low adoption with that. Do you get to feel that's a fair assessment? 81 00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:15.339 Absolutely. Yeah, we're still in the very early days of this. You 82 00:05:15.459 --> 00:05:17.620 know, within within our community, of course we live it, we see 83 00:05:17.660 --> 00:05:21.930 it every day. We work with literally thousands of different businesses who are now 84 00:05:23.009 --> 00:05:27.170 using video messaging in their prospecting. But when you look at it on mass 85 00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:30.449 it is still very, very early and most of us, frankly, aren't 86 00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:36.079 even getting any video messages to our work in boxes from colleagues or from salespeople 87 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.279 or otherwise. And so it's still is very, very early there and actually 88 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.279 lies one of the opportunities for a lot of sales reps today, those strs 89 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:51.029 and and account executives who are sending their prospects video messages are finding in most 90 00:05:51.069 --> 00:05:55.790 cases that it really stands out from everything else, partly because it is different 91 00:05:56.110 --> 00:05:59.990 and new. I hear all the time rep sporting me email saying, you 92 00:06:00.069 --> 00:06:02.430 know from a prospect saying wow, this was such a great and refreshing way 93 00:06:02.430 --> 00:06:05.300 to reach out to me. I've never gotten a video from a salesperson. 94 00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:09.100 I'm intrigued. Let's talk. So there is a little bit of power in 95 00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:12.420 that right now in that it is different, it's unique. We certainly have 96 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:15.579 seen this rapidly growing use. So we do expect it to become, you 97 00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:18.410 know, normalized over the next couple of years, but it is still very 98 00:06:18.449 --> 00:06:23.250 much early days and we're also learning about what's working. Yeah, and and 99 00:06:23.730 --> 00:06:27.290 and on that know them. When you look at what's working for the stols 100 00:06:27.329 --> 00:06:30.329 that are already using it, this say roll and then trying to try to 101 00:06:30.449 --> 00:06:34.399 teach and in till Lamsday, the best jaws, the value of of using 102 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:40.680 video as a prospective tactic. For Ust y'alls that have garn using video messaging, 103 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.079 video outreach as affected today, what would you say if some of the 104 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.430 best practices to get the most out of the the solution that they using? 105 00:06:47.069 --> 00:06:49.750 Yeah, there's been a number of things that we've all learned over the last 106 00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:53.990 little while, particularly, as you said, when using it for prospecting. 107 00:06:54.430 --> 00:06:57.790 So when you think about the role of a video message when you're prospecting, 108 00:06:58.550 --> 00:07:00.620 there's a few things that it can do really, really well and and the 109 00:07:00.660 --> 00:07:04.579 most successful SDRs are the ones that recognize that and lean into those things. 110 00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:10.100 How is video different from when I'm typing an email or leaving a voice mail, 111 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:12.420 right, like, what's unique about video and how can I really lean 112 00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:15.850 into that? The first thing you is that video can be is a very 113 00:07:15.930 --> 00:07:21.089 visual medium, obviously, and it allows us to show rather than just tell. 114 00:07:21.689 --> 00:07:25.209 It also allows us to, of course, put ourselves out there on 115 00:07:25.370 --> 00:07:27.930 camera and allow the person on the other side to see us, to get 116 00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:30.720 to know US and hopefully get to trust us. And so, you know, 117 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:34.759 creating videos that bring your story to life that of course, have you 118 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.319 on camera, but with tools like a videyard and others, you can also 119 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.839 record, for example, of your what's up on your screen or your web 120 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.149 browser, along with your camera on, and some of the most successful reps 121 00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:48.910 are using that as a way to get people's attention. So, for example, 122 00:07:48.949 --> 00:07:53.350 if I were prospecting you, Dan, I might, as a very 123 00:07:53.389 --> 00:07:58.110 simple little tactic, bring up your linkedin profile up on my browser and then 124 00:07:58.149 --> 00:08:01.060 I hit the record button with my camera on right beside it, and I'd 125 00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:05.100 start by waving and I'd say hey, Dan, you know I was checking 126 00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:09.100 out your business and your profile here on Linkedin and I noticed that you're the 127 00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:11.889 VP of sales. I'd highlight your little vp of sales title and I might 128 00:08:11.970 --> 00:08:13.889 say and then I would tie it into my message. You know the reason 129 00:08:13.889 --> 00:08:18.129 I'm reaching out and is I'm actually working with a few other VP's of sales 130 00:08:18.170 --> 00:08:20.810 right now. We're all having the same problem, really low response rates by 131 00:08:20.889 --> 00:08:24.889 their SDRs, if that's a problem you're facing, and then I you know, 132 00:08:24.009 --> 00:08:26.560 sort of you know, quickly nail my message. Yeah, and what 133 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.680 I've done there is when I send that video over and it lands in your 134 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.480 inbox, you open that email up and there's this thumbnail image of the video 135 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.960 and you see not only me as the seller, but you see your own 136 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.080 linkedin profile up on the screen and you immediately know, in a fraction of 137 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.110 a second that number one, I really did make a video just for you, 138 00:08:43.470 --> 00:08:46.429 because that's your linkedin profile. This can't be a copy. YEA, 139 00:08:48.629 --> 00:08:52.149 it creates a level of interesting curiosity because like, Hey, that's me right 140 00:08:52.230 --> 00:08:56.259 there. Even that creates something interesting and it just increases your expectation of value, 141 00:08:56.419 --> 00:09:01.139 knowing that I've obviously delivered a very personal message to you. So there's 142 00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:05.539 little things like that of using visuals to get using your personality and practice practice, 143 00:09:05.580 --> 00:09:09.179 or you get more and more comfortable in your delivery of your messages. 144 00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:11.330 Well, that's a very good point as well around the practice, practice piece, 145 00:09:11.370 --> 00:09:15.690 because some of our recrs internally a toyed around with it at times and 146 00:09:15.730 --> 00:09:20.009 I think actually we're on the cusp of getting success, we're on the cusp 147 00:09:20.129 --> 00:09:22.769 of turning this into part of a wide occaydance and probably stopped. It's all. 148 00:09:22.850 --> 00:09:26.519 It's almost like that. I don't know if you've seen that image where 149 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.200 there's the person that's bashing your rock trying to get through, and success is 150 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.519 just the other side of the where they've got through and they're bashing the tipping 151 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.159 where in its rock and it's I mean it's a kind of equivalent of that, 152 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.389 where they they use it for a while and just as they're getting about 153 00:09:39.429 --> 00:09:43.190 to get success, I stopped and I think it's because in the early days, 154 00:09:43.230 --> 00:09:45.629 when you're when you're toying around with it, when you're pressing, it 155 00:09:45.870 --> 00:09:48.789 takes time right. It's got to take probably a few minutes to get it 156 00:09:48.830 --> 00:09:52.509 right and you're probably paranoid about having it perfect. And I always say you 157 00:09:52.590 --> 00:09:54.620 know, it's not about being perfect, right, it's about doing a good 158 00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:58.500 enough job to get it out there. You're going to stand out anyway, 159 00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:01.700 to your point, because other th don't that. So just do a decent 160 00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:05.059 job, do a decent message and get it out there and start trying to 161 00:10:05.059 --> 00:10:09.129 get feedback. You've got to do it multiple times to start rest even feedback 162 00:10:09.169 --> 00:10:11.210 and getting success. Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right. And you know, 163 00:10:11.289 --> 00:10:15.929 one of the the sayings I like to to share with people to jot 164 00:10:16.009 --> 00:10:18.169 down on a little sticky note, you know, so they remember it, 165 00:10:18.370 --> 00:10:22.759 is it's about connection, not perfection, and it's as simple as that when 166 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.399 you're sending videos, because then the reason you're putting yourself out there on a 167 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.840 video the power, and that is the ability to have that person on the 168 00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.399 other end actually connect with you as a real human who's invested in helping them 169 00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.110 solve a problem, which email and voicemail and everything else it's so hard to 170 00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:43.350 do right. No matter how well you craft your email message, that person 171 00:10:43.429 --> 00:10:48.029 is still just reading it, they're skimming it, they can't hear your voice, 172 00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:50.379 your intonation, they don't feel connected to you at all, no matter 173 00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:54.860 you know how great that message is, but when they can see you and 174 00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.500 hear you as a real person, it levels that up. So even if 175 00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:01.220 you don't nail the perfect message, even if you don't have the best thing 176 00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:05.929 up on your screen, just you delivering it authentically in a way that gives 177 00:11:05.929 --> 00:11:09.210 them a sense of trust and a sense of potential value, you can create 178 00:11:09.330 --> 00:11:11.210 that connection. And to your point, they're not always going to respond to 179 00:11:11.210 --> 00:11:18.090 every video you send, but the data shows that sequences with video messages in 180 00:11:18.169 --> 00:11:22.960 them and perform sequences without, and I believe there's a big part to that, 181 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.879 of you become more memorable to them, you become somebody that is more 182 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.720 than just a name, you become a face and a real person and eventually, 183 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.110 when they do pick up that phone or they do get that video, 184 00:11:33.470 --> 00:11:35.950 they're more likely to engage in a conversation. Very interesting and in terms of 185 00:11:37.269 --> 00:11:41.870 if you look at your point around it's about connection to affection. That said, 186 00:11:43.190 --> 00:11:46.220 I can only imagine right that if you've got an FTR that has a 187 00:11:46.299 --> 00:11:50.100 lot of template to the emails, is kind of a cadence. It's in 188 00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:52.419 outreach, ready to go. That's quicker, right, and sometimes, as 189 00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:56.179 Y'all think activity, they think volume, they think speed. So that's quicker 190 00:11:56.259 --> 00:11:58.820 than crafting this message. It might take you five or ten minutes, whatever 191 00:11:58.860 --> 00:12:03.169 it takes together. So, from your perspective, when it comes to crofting 192 00:12:03.210 --> 00:12:07.970 a really tailored, solid message, is that better reserve for, say, 193 00:12:07.250 --> 00:12:11.570 you know, the C level, Bep, director level, individual Robin, 194 00:12:11.649 --> 00:12:15.330 say, a practitioner or a user of a solution that you might actually be 195 00:12:15.330 --> 00:12:18.519 up front to target? Well, I think a lot of it comes down 196 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.159 to, like with many things, how heavily you personalize or customized. You 197 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.399 know, really is the you know, the the potential value of that lead 198 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.149 or that prospect. I typically wouldn't narrow it down to US type of persona. 199 00:12:31.710 --> 00:12:35.669 I would narrow it down to the business that I'm selling to. So 200 00:12:35.750 --> 00:12:39.269 if I am going after a lead that is either in a company that is 201 00:12:39.389 --> 00:12:43.830 like right at the pinnacle of our ideal customer profile and, you know, 202 00:12:43.870 --> 00:12:46.940 I know that they would be a perfect fit for my solution, that's when 203 00:12:46.940 --> 00:12:48.500 I'm going to put in a little bit more time because if I can get 204 00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:52.259 their attention, if I'm into a conversation, those are going to convert higher. 205 00:12:52.259 --> 00:12:56.179 Or if it's an individual lead that has been passed to me because we've 206 00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:58.409 seen a lot of activity, they seem highly engaged. Again, they're more 207 00:12:58.490 --> 00:13:01.850 likely to convert. I'm going to put in that little extra effort because I 208 00:13:01.850 --> 00:13:05.169 know if I can get them into a conversation they're going to convert at a 209 00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:09.450 higher level. So absolutely, those higher priority leads are where we see a 210 00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:13.799 lot of sales reps leaning into making and sending a video. But what we 211 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.440 do also find is that a lot of reps will also make what we'd call 212 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.799 kind of a prerecorded or off the shelf videos, where they don't have to 213 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.509 personalize it every time. And, for example, in an outreach sequence there 214 00:13:26.549 --> 00:13:30.789 may be a step three that says, okay, here's an email, here's 215 00:13:30.789 --> 00:13:33.830 a template and here is, you know, insert your video here, and 216 00:13:35.070 --> 00:13:37.350 it could be one that you've already recorded. So it could be instead of 217 00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:41.340 me saying Hey dan at a DUP, it's me as an individual and I'm 218 00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:45.700 just saying hey, it's tyler at videyard here really, you know, thanks 219 00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:48.379 so much for clicking play. The reason I'm reaching out is I work with 220 00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:50.419 a lot of demand gen managers, just like you Blah Blah about. So 221 00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:54.460 any time it's a demand gen manager, I just drop that video in and 222 00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:56.929 it's not going to work quite as well as a fully personalized one, but 223 00:13:58.649 --> 00:14:01.929 it's efficient and it may have a bigger impact than just the templated email message, 224 00:14:03.250 --> 00:14:05.490 but it's something that you can do and you can use it over and 225 00:14:05.570 --> 00:14:07.330 over again. So a couple different ways you can think about using video, 226 00:14:07.490 --> 00:14:11.919 both hyper personalized, custom recorded as well as when you have off the shelf 227 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.559 that you can drop into an email anytime and send out. Yeah, interesting. 228 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.240 Now shifting get a bit when spoken about a lot of the good that. 229 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.750 I'm also interested to hear about the battle, but maybe I'm most a 230 00:14:24.789 --> 00:14:28.470 good right when it tends to practice when it comes to video prospects. Now 231 00:14:28.470 --> 00:14:33.509 I've been seeing a lot of us recently on Linkedin and other other places about 232 00:14:33.509 --> 00:14:37.429 age and SG as and just so beople in general, using tactics like the 233 00:14:37.509 --> 00:14:43.539 facetime cold facetime as a video prospecting which I find just bizarre right, where 234 00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:46.100 as a caught of a sequence that just randomly face timing and prospects, which 235 00:14:46.179 --> 00:14:50.220 you know, I'm sure, is shocking enough to potentially elicit a pick up 236 00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:52.889 at some point in time. But that's got to be considered poor practice. 237 00:14:52.929 --> 00:14:56.210 I would have thought in most circles right in terms of, if you would 238 00:14:56.210 --> 00:15:01.450 to maybe describe not quite such bad tactics in that but in end of the 239 00:15:01.570 --> 00:15:05.049 notts of good uses or video or the things to maybe avoid when it comes 240 00:15:05.090 --> 00:15:09.039 to video prospecting. Yeah, what if some of your filters are on that? 241 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.840 Yeah, so there's there's a couple things when you're sending these videos. 242 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.279 Yeah, that you absolutely need to be mindful of. One of the biggest 243 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.519 mistakes sellers make is their videos are too long and you know they hit the 244 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.870 record button and they want to get their entire message in there. They want 245 00:15:22.870 --> 00:15:26.070 to introduce themselves, they want to introduce their value proposition, they want to 246 00:15:26.110 --> 00:15:30.269 tell a customer story, they want to show the product up on the screen 247 00:15:30.309 --> 00:15:33.710 and ends up being two or three minutes long and for somebody who is not 248 00:15:33.750 --> 00:15:37.419 yet engaged in a conversation, they are not going to watch that long, 249 00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:41.100 no matter how great you are on camera. So our guidance is when you're 250 00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:46.940 using it for cold prospecting, aim for thirty to sixty seconds for these videos. 251 00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:50.049 It's enough time for you to get in there, introduce yourself, tease 252 00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:54.690 them a little bit with what you're trying to deliver, but then pop that 253 00:15:54.850 --> 00:15:56.289 out, because if somebody clicks on in the see that it's three minutes, 254 00:15:56.289 --> 00:15:58.330 they're not even going to watch. They're going to say enough time for this, 255 00:15:58.769 --> 00:16:02.210 so keep it short. There you go the kiss acron and I like 256 00:16:02.250 --> 00:16:04.600 to say they're keep a short seller. Is a good first thing. The 257 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:08.320 second is, as we talked about earlier, that sellers give up too early 258 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.279 because they find that recording videos are you know, there's more that goes into 259 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.120 it. Right like, as you said, it's if I'm not like feeling 260 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.470 like I'm looking good that day, I may not want to make them. 261 00:16:18.830 --> 00:16:22.269 You know, I stumble over my words and it takes me ten minutes just 262 00:16:22.350 --> 00:16:25.909 to make one one minute video, which is very frustrating. But I think 263 00:16:26.070 --> 00:16:30.149 we have to reflect back on when we learn new techniques like this. It 264 00:16:30.269 --> 00:16:33.700 never pops right away. I mean, think about when you started cold calling, 265 00:16:34.059 --> 00:16:37.500 right like, how bad your initial cold calls were absolute and you know 266 00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:41.460 how long it's for you to get into that rhythm where it felt comfortable and 267 00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:44.379 you're like, okay, I got this, I've mastered in right so videos 268 00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:47.649 the same and again a lot of people will be inclined to try it. 269 00:16:47.809 --> 00:16:49.330 You know, they'll send ten to fifteen videos and then they'll give up on 270 00:16:49.409 --> 00:16:52.769 it because they haven't gotten their responses and or feels and efficient. And what 271 00:16:52.850 --> 00:16:56.690 I've heard from a lot of our customers is that sending around a hundred videos 272 00:16:56.809 --> 00:17:00.570 is kind of that threshold where people feel like, okay, I can just 273 00:17:00.690 --> 00:17:02.759 do this in my sleep. Now, I can hit the record button, 274 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.720 I can nail my message and send it off. And a hundred videos may 275 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.400 sound like a lot to people like whoa like that's going to take me a 276 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.799 long time. But if you just do five videos a day, right, 277 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.150 for a month, you're there. Yeah, or three videos a day for 278 00:17:15.230 --> 00:17:18.990 two months, right. And so just getting those reps in, because I 279 00:17:19.069 --> 00:17:22.789 promise you it's going to be a skill that you're going to leverage for the 280 00:17:22.829 --> 00:17:25.509 rest of your sales career. Right, this isn't just a one time thing. 281 00:17:25.589 --> 00:17:26.509 So you can get good at it now. A promise you. It's 282 00:17:26.509 --> 00:17:30.339 going to be a benefit to you, launcher. Yeah, and to your 283 00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:33.220 point, you know, getting comfortable and on camera as well, is just 284 00:17:33.339 --> 00:17:37.579 for those short snippets, is invaluable, particularly in the world we're now living 285 00:17:37.579 --> 00:17:41.740 him right, where it's shifting from so much in person so much virtual. 286 00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:45.450 And if you can get comfortable on camera and for thirty sixty seconds and that 287 00:17:45.490 --> 00:17:52.089 suddenly evolved into thirty minute meeting sixty minute meetings. It's a really important skill 288 00:17:52.130 --> 00:17:56.569 and actually just generally knowing how to carry yourself on camera is something that's that's 289 00:17:56.650 --> 00:18:00.799 overlooked as well. You know SDRs in the past. I remember when I 290 00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.559 started doing the job I was told, look, it doesn't matter if you 291 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.240 if you if you mess up your call, the person can't see you. 292 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.839 Just a repoints on the other end of the call or whatever. But actually, 293 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.549 in turning today's selling environment, that's not the best advice because yes, 294 00:18:15.630 --> 00:18:18.630 in an str you know if you're making a call, but at some point 295 00:18:18.670 --> 00:18:21.309 in time you're going to have to get comfortable with seeing people and talking to 296 00:18:21.349 --> 00:18:25.309 people face to face and that that that short video pitched by cameras is a 297 00:18:25.670 --> 00:18:30.299 stepping stone to the longer conversations you'll have with prospects down the line. On 298 00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:33.700 that note, actually, so when it comes we've spoken a lot about the 299 00:18:33.779 --> 00:18:38.740 SDR community and yes, you know the sgr role using video as a prospect 300 00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:42.089 and tactic. I just want to go back to a point you made earlier 301 00:18:42.089 --> 00:18:47.289 where you were talking about a's having the ability to potentially increase second version rate 302 00:18:47.369 --> 00:18:51.650 to deal by by using camera. You you you spoken about one example, 303 00:18:51.650 --> 00:18:53.369 which was, you know, maybe talking through a proposal, for example, 304 00:18:53.450 --> 00:18:57.480 by by video. Can you maybe expand a little bit? On your way? 305 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.599 You're seeing a huge video as a medium most often. Yeah, I 306 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.559 think this is the the biggest opportunity, frankly, in sales right now and 307 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.710 the most under utilized area for video. If you think about it from this 308 00:19:11.910 --> 00:19:17.710 perspective. You know, any time as a salesperson, you're going to try 309 00:19:17.710 --> 00:19:21.430 to communicate a message, you know, answer a question, explain something, 310 00:19:21.589 --> 00:19:26.420 walk through something with a prospect, you can right now. Your arsenal is 311 00:19:26.500 --> 00:19:29.259 usually well, I could type on an email and send it to them to 312 00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:33.779 answer that question, explain that idea. I could try to book a live 313 00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:37.099 video call and we could talk through it, you know, live, or 314 00:19:37.220 --> 00:19:41.289 I might send them an off the shelf piece of content for them to you 315 00:19:41.369 --> 00:19:45.049 know, again show them something or explain it. Those are typically the ways 316 00:19:45.089 --> 00:19:48.009 we would handle that today. You know, just sending an email, you 317 00:19:48.089 --> 00:19:51.650 know, it lacks that personality, that facetime. Those sorts of things trying 318 00:19:51.650 --> 00:19:55.880 to schedule a live video call is great, but often that's like the last 319 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.799 thing your customer wants to do. Or you have a schedule for two weeks 320 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:02.160 out and sending it off the shelf piece of content could be a nice way 321 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.240 to explain something, but it doesn't give you the ability to customize it for 322 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.750 them or contextualize the message. Yeah, and so recording of video and sending 323 00:20:08.750 --> 00:20:12.309 it over is actually this really neat sweet spot right in the middle. Because 324 00:20:12.430 --> 00:20:15.829 if, again, if a customer asked, you know, how does this 325 00:20:15.029 --> 00:20:18.309 work? Right, instead of saying, oh well, let's book a meeting 326 00:20:18.349 --> 00:20:19.950 and I'll walk you through it, why don't I just record a video, 327 00:20:21.069 --> 00:20:22.299 bring up my screen, if I'm a software product or something like that, 328 00:20:22.900 --> 00:20:26.180 and I'll I'll walk you through it like I'll record a video, I'll explain 329 00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:29.299 it and I'll send it over. You can watch it on your own time, 330 00:20:29.339 --> 00:20:32.180 whenever you have a chance, and that video could be forwarded around to 331 00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:36.250 anybody else in the decisionmaking committee who needs to see it. And now all 332 00:20:36.289 --> 00:20:38.450 of a sudden you're videos getting watched by five or six people at that account. 333 00:20:38.769 --> 00:20:41.849 They've all suddenly now met you right without you ever getting on a call 334 00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:45.930 with them, you're becoming more memorable, you're becoming more human with them, 335 00:20:47.329 --> 00:20:49.720 and it's a really simple thing that you can do. So it's everything from 336 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.519 you know. Again, they ask you a question, instead of typing out 337 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.599 an email, hit the record button and say well, great question, you 338 00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.880 know. So I wanted to explain it personally, to give you some of 339 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:00.440 the nuances. So the answer is Dat it, at it up. But 340 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.309 you want to consider this as well. Right and again, getting them to 341 00:21:03.349 --> 00:21:07.710 click and watch your video. Now, not only do they get the information, 342 00:21:07.869 --> 00:21:10.309 but they're literally spending time with you. Right, you're again, you're 343 00:21:10.309 --> 00:21:14.630 becoming more familiar, you're becoming more personal, and that also signals to them 344 00:21:15.230 --> 00:21:18.059 it better experience with you than the other sales rap who's just sending them links 345 00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:22.099 off to stuff. So there's all these cases where you almost have to pause 346 00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:25.579 and think, well, I want to send them this information, answer this 347 00:21:25.660 --> 00:21:27.460 question, explain this idea. Would it makes sense for me to hit the 348 00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:30.900 record button and make a quick video to do it? And it's as simple 349 00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:33.569 as that and ends up opening up so many areas where you can make a 350 00:21:33.609 --> 00:21:37.210 video and use it in your process. Yeah, interesting, this might be 351 00:21:37.289 --> 00:21:40.849 a bit of a direct to one. But do you have any stats that 352 00:21:40.970 --> 00:21:44.410 you as a company getting a bit more specific about video? Yeah, that 353 00:21:44.769 --> 00:21:48.920 use as a company, have been able to capture or produce the suggest, 354 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.960 you know, x amount of scentage, increasing time to win right, based 355 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.119 on needing videos out of your so process rather than not. Yeah, it's 356 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.839 it's interesting. We we don't have that primary data ourselves because, you know, 357 00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.950 we we know how many times videos are getting watched, but it's hard 358 00:22:03.990 --> 00:22:07.029 to then extract that further out. But that said, there was a research 359 00:22:07.069 --> 00:22:11.190 report done this year called the state of virtual selling, two thousand and twenty 360 00:22:11.190 --> 00:22:15.670 one, which surveyed, it was nearly a thousand different sales reps, you 361 00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:18.619 know, and how they were using video and from those who were using these 362 00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:22.940 types of video messages in their sales process, it was I think seventy three 363 00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:27.380 percent reported higher response rates with video. So that's kind of the prospecting side. 364 00:22:27.740 --> 00:22:33.930 But what the interesting thing was about fifty percent reported both shorter deal cycles 365 00:22:34.089 --> 00:22:38.329 and higher close rates. And shorter deal cycles. Again, it's interesting to 366 00:22:38.369 --> 00:22:41.089 think, well, how would just sending videos do that? But back to 367 00:22:41.170 --> 00:22:45.519 this point of instead of scheduling a meeting two weeks out to do a demo? 368 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.880 What if I recorded a video and send it to them right now? 369 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.519 Maybe that next meeting becomes a pricing discussion instead of a walkthrough. How can 370 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.279 it increase close rates? Well, yeah, simple things like giving them a 371 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.109 better experience during the process and standing up from your competitors, right through to 372 00:23:00.190 --> 00:23:03.269 sending over a proposal where you actually have a video of you walking through it, 373 00:23:03.390 --> 00:23:06.470 explaining it clearly to them so they know exactly what they're getting. So 374 00:23:06.549 --> 00:23:10.630 yeah, it's interesting to see people reporting those different areas by, you know, 375 00:23:10.670 --> 00:23:14.220 in pretty needs another process. It's definitely happening, absolutely and I think 376 00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:18.019 that's only going to continue evolving. To the earlier points that we are making 377 00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:22.299 around adoption still being relatively low despite video being such an important medium. Rule 378 00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:26.930 of US in today's selling environment. As a I think we when we think 379 00:23:26.970 --> 00:23:30.769 video, we think zoom, we think teams, we think Google. Have 380 00:23:30.970 --> 00:23:34.849 we don't think you know, short snippets where you can you can really add 381 00:23:34.849 --> 00:23:40.529 value in the sale process in between live virtual meetings. We've spoken all about 382 00:23:40.529 --> 00:23:44.680 selling and sales people. There's more than just sales departments. Of course, 383 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.720 within businesses, marketing and customer success or other areas that I was I was 384 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.400 thinking, as we've been able to done through this this this conversation, that 385 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:56.509 are also areas that could potentially get involved in really utilize video as a medium 386 00:23:56.509 --> 00:24:02.349 of communication. What are your what are your thoughts on on other departments using 387 00:24:02.549 --> 00:24:06.710 using videos as a means? Yeah, I think it's a very similar discussion. 388 00:24:06.750 --> 00:24:08.990 You know, customer success, Account Management, it's the same idea. 389 00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:12.579 You know, a big part of your role is to maintain strong relationships with 390 00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:17.660 your customers, to keep yourself top of mind so when the renewal time comes 391 00:24:17.700 --> 00:24:18.539 up they're not like, oh, wait a minute, who are you again? 392 00:24:18.940 --> 00:24:22.859 So when you are communicating out to your existing customers as an account manager 393 00:24:23.329 --> 00:24:27.490 again periodically, make sure you're sending them short video messages, because it gives 394 00:24:27.490 --> 00:24:30.529 them an opportunity to see you, for you to continue to be familiar and 395 00:24:30.930 --> 00:24:33.930 stay very personal with them. Are Really simple thing you can do. And, 396 00:24:34.049 --> 00:24:37.089 of course, yeah, marketing other areas of the business. You know, 397 00:24:37.130 --> 00:24:41.039 the use of video is growing. I think the biggest thing for marketing 398 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.720 right now is using video as a way to educate audiences. It's less of 399 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.519 about you know, it's a great advertising and Promo medium. But the best 400 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.509 use for video right now, especially in D tob is to educate our customers, 401 00:24:52.589 --> 00:24:56.589 to show them clearly how something works, to clearly explain different ideas, 402 00:24:56.950 --> 00:25:00.710 because they want more and more to what to consume on their own time and 403 00:25:02.309 --> 00:25:06.230 more and more have a perspensity for visual information. So if we can answer 404 00:25:06.269 --> 00:25:10.259 their questions through video, whether it's stuff we preproduce or stuff we self record 405 00:25:10.339 --> 00:25:11.859 and send over as a video message, I think we're all going to be 406 00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:15.619 better communicators and will help our customers be more successful in the wan term. 407 00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:18.940 Yeah, and it's a really interesting point actually, that around marketing. So 408 00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:22.529 there's a couple of things. First thing is me and others have had more 409 00:25:22.569 --> 00:25:26.569 and more from prospects. You know, can you send us a two minute 410 00:25:26.569 --> 00:25:29.650 video or one minute video outlining a company right which is like at the High 411 00:25:29.650 --> 00:25:32.650 Level Company Promo? But then the other thing that I've been hearing a lot 412 00:25:32.690 --> 00:25:34.250 of some of our clients, so they're getting a lot of success with it, 413 00:25:34.369 --> 00:25:38.160 is that doing recorded testimony was for their clients. Absolutely the recorded testimony 414 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.920 was where they're getting success is they're actually asking our climes to make it super 415 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.480 informal. Can you just get like an iphone Selfie, or can you do 416 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.839 it like it? To your point, like a video video, as rolling 417 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.589 there being is really scripted professional video. There's been an ounce customers that doesn't 418 00:25:52.589 --> 00:25:56.869 really feel that authentic. Just do them, do to do a Selffie or 419 00:25:56.910 --> 00:26:00.150 do a bit, do a video, right, it sho super short, 420 00:26:00.549 --> 00:26:03.190 super informal. You know, just shoot from their hip and explain what you're 421 00:26:03.190 --> 00:26:07.220 actually really thinking about. You know your work with that particular vendor, and 422 00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:11.500 it makes it much more relatable, right, and I think that's so. 423 00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:15.539 That's on the marketing side, in our view. On the customer success side, 424 00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:18.849 we as a business, for example, it just really starting to invest 425 00:26:18.890 --> 00:26:22.170 now a lot in the customer success and and there's a lot of thoughts around 426 00:26:22.369 --> 00:26:25.970 how can we have we develop a customer success cadence. Now, you know, 427 00:26:26.130 --> 00:26:29.450 we've got a lot of people that are constantly involve with our customers. 428 00:26:29.529 --> 00:26:33.640 So is an email every quarter to the best option? Probably not. What's 429 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.000 that? That looks like you're just checking in and it's not really any value. 430 00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.680 You know, is sending them a newsletter about your company? Good, 431 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.079 it's okay, right. It's keeping them abreast of your company. It's okay. 432 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:48.109 Is sending them industry content? You know? Good, yeah, it's 433 00:26:48.150 --> 00:26:49.910 okay, but if you could wrap that all up into a video and have 434 00:26:51.269 --> 00:26:55.789 a kind of regular caiden for keeping them up today and educated. To your 435 00:26:55.869 --> 00:26:59.750 point, just having that person front of mine, visual and feeling like they're 436 00:26:59.750 --> 00:27:03.019 talking to you makes it much more relevant and engage in than just receiving a 437 00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:07.259 newsletter that most of the time people culdick come subscribe right sope if yeah, 438 00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:11.819 it really does. Yeah, now I think you're I think you're spot on 439 00:27:11.940 --> 00:27:14.099 with all of that. And you know what I see a lot of people 440 00:27:14.099 --> 00:27:17.369 doing with with with things like that, is you have that the newsletter will 441 00:27:17.410 --> 00:27:19.809 have some updates, but it will often have a video as the hero and 442 00:27:19.930 --> 00:27:23.009 it might be, you know, an update from the CEO, it might 443 00:27:23.049 --> 00:27:26.930 be from the Vpcales, might be from the head of customer success or it 444 00:27:26.009 --> 00:27:30.279 might be from Sarah, the developer who built a really cool feature that we 445 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.599 wanted to tell you about, you know, getting on a screen share and 446 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.519 actually showing I'm really proud of this new feature that we built for you. 447 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:38.839 I'm actually the one who built it. I want to show it to you 448 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.640 and how it works right. Little things like that create this like these moments 449 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:47.990 of these micro moments of connection with our audiences and ways that just we haven't 450 00:27:47.990 --> 00:27:52.069 really thought about traditionally. And so even those little things of like yeah, 451 00:27:52.230 --> 00:27:56.390 a video like that going one too many and then the account manager following up 452 00:27:56.430 --> 00:27:59.500 with their own quick little personal video to their to their customer, you know, 453 00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:02.500 saying, Hey, hope you saw last week's newsletter, really cool updates 454 00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:03.940 from it. Just checking in, wanting to make sure everything was good. 455 00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:07.420 Let me know if you have any challenges this week, I can up solve 456 00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:11.059 for you. Right, just those moments again just create a better affinity for 457 00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:14.490 your brand. And we haven't done them traditionally because, well, it was 458 00:28:14.529 --> 00:28:17.690 difficult, it was expensive, like producing videos, uploading them, all of 459 00:28:17.809 --> 00:28:19.450 that. But that's all gone. Right, we can do this stuff, 460 00:28:19.529 --> 00:28:23.569 honestly, as quickly and easily as we can writing out text based content or 461 00:28:23.609 --> 00:28:26.519 making a slide. We just got to figure it out. Yeah, absolutely. 462 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.319 Well, I have to say it's something that we double within our business. 463 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.000 But you know, I'm sure us, and now those listening to this 464 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.759 will starts to think about a lot more seriously moving forward because, to be 465 00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.549 honest, it's it's definitely should have opened up my mind to thinking about different 466 00:28:41.630 --> 00:28:45.150 ways in which all team, and not just test, you are right, 467 00:28:45.430 --> 00:28:51.230 all across a business can actually like video in it to make communication and engagement 468 00:28:51.309 --> 00:28:56.339 with clients and prospects more relevant and more engaging. So it's that that's really 469 00:28:56.380 --> 00:29:00.019 insightful. So I'm conscious of the time. We've been speaking for a little 470 00:29:00.019 --> 00:29:03.660 while now and and I think we're coming towards the end of all the amount 471 00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:08.299 of time that we meant to be discussing video prospecting for.
