Lead Generation

Use video as a channel for lead generation, as it’s continuing to prove its enormous value as a component in the sales funnel. A recent study from Demand Metric found that 74% of businesses identify video as a top driver for conversions. When clients are on the verge of buying, a video is effective at closing sales.

Video Types

The types of videos that attract interest involve thought leadership, demonstration and client testimonials. Once these visual presentations stimulate curiosity, you can convince prospects to become buyers by taking video sharing to a more personal level and utilizing video transcription services for enhancing the content on client websites. After prospects have initiated contact, you can send them videos containing personal greetings, or product demonstrations if they've inquired about your business culture.
