No matter what industry you work in, one of the biggest challenges faced by any sales team is getting a lead to sign on the dotted line. A delay in conversion can be due to various reasons. It could be due to a lack of trust or they could have found a better solution to address their problem.
As a sales rep you might have given your best but still, somehow the deal didn’t close. What were you missing? Were the expectations met correctly? Did you handle objections well? You will be thinking in those lines for sure. But if you take a step back, you might be able to see the bigger picture. The lost deal could be a result of not getting the lead’s confidence to your pitch.
Getting your leads confidence is an art. It comes naturally to seasoned sales veterans. The flow, the pitch, the sell, all work like musical notes working out a tune. Can every sales rep have that advantage? How can you start closing deals effortlessly?
Now, what if I told you that closing deals is just a video away?
Videos are taking over the internet and they are literally everywhere.
Websites, social media, emails, etc. In emails too??? You might wonder… Yes, Of course!!! The one area where videos are playing a key role is ‘Sales.’
With so much technology available these days, videos can be powerful in conveying the message in a simpler and more effective way.
The best way to grab your prospect’s attention is through videos.
Videos make an impact on your viewers as videos have a natural way of delivering a message.
According to a recent research, companies that use video grow revenue 49 percent faster than non-video users.
A video clearly stands out as it is much more engaging and entertaining than plain text. But, how can sales reps use videos in their process to get desired results?
Imagine you are sending out a personalized video email to one of your leads. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to just record a video a quick video addressing the pain points faced by them? Keep your sales process engaged by sending emails with personalized videos.
The main goal for anyone who sends out a sales email is for the prospect to open the email. Seeing the word ‘video’ in the email makes your prospects want to open the email out of curiosity.
Videos are more helpful because people understand that they are in business with another human being. It forges a stronger bond. Also, people are more likely to open an email with a video and actually play the video than they are a regular email or a call.
