Types of sales videos businesses should know

Given how every phone now comes equipped with a quality camera and the prevalence of video editing software, it is easy for anyone to make any kind of video online. A sales video is a more specific type of assignment as the videographer has one goal in mind: convincing viewers to become buyers.

Having that objective in mind makes the planning of the video easier, but videographers should also know what kind of sales videos they want to make. A different type of video will fit a different goal and fit at different points in the sales cycle.

Let’s have a look at the kinds of professional sales videos marketers can use and their effectiveness. 

Screen Share Videos

These types of videos are ideal for explanations. Sales representatives often use screen share videos to review a prospect’s LinkedIn profile and explain why they would be an ideal customer. They can also record demo videos to walk prospective customers through a certain feature or benefit.

Screen share videos are recorded on webcams with the face of the salesperson in the corner of the screen. This gives space to convey complex information such as pricing proposals or demos, while letting the potential customers see the face of the person doing the sale pitch.

Webcam Videos

Webcam videos are great for a salesperson to introduce herself, perform some email prospecting, and build relationships. For these videos, the salesperson speaks directly to the camera, creating a sense of familiarity between them and the prospective customers. Props could also help capture viewers’ attention and personalize the video.

The salesperson should also intrigue viewers into clicking the video by choosing an interesting thumbnail that is personalized, such as the salesperson showcasing a company product. 

Marketing-Personalized Videos

These videos help salespersons achieve personalized outreach on a huge scale. With marketing-personalized videos, personalized information such as the potential customer’s name, are inserted in a pre-recorded video as well as a link to the salesperson’s calendar. This way the video feels like it was created for that one customer and hopefully leads them to make a call. Several elements can be personalized quickly for any individual recipient.

Video Playlists

Video playlists make pre-recorded videos feel personal while also saving time. To make them salespersons record personalized introductions to explainer videos that have already been recorded. They can also record introductions to marketing videos and lay out why they are relevant for viewers.

Salespersons then incorporate all these videos into a playlist, which gives them a wide selection of material to use for their prospective customers.
