Over half of sales reps report that connecting or booking meetings is the top challenge they face in their process. Luckily, video messaging is an excellent tool to add to your sales toolkit and help make your prospecting efforts easier and to help book more meetings.
These stats prove just how far-ranging and effective video outreach (and video for sales, in general) are.
Improve Open Rates—sales teams that use video get a 16% bump in open rates (SalesLoft)
Get More Replies—sales teams that use video see a 26% increase in replies (SalesLoft)
Net a Higher Click-Through—emails that contain video have 4x the CTR of emails without (Inside Sales)
Close More Deals—closed deals involve using webcams 41% more often than lost deals (Gong)
Gain a Competitive Advantage—only 43.8% of sales teams use video in their prospecting strategy (Inside Sales)
Video makes sending outreach emails faster and more effective. How? Unsurprisingly, sales reps spend 21% of their day writing emails.
Whether you’re recording a quick video rather than writing out a long message or adding a pre-recorded video to boost an email, video messages are a big time saver. (Source Vidyard)
