Instead of a generic first-touch video, use personalized videos specifically for follow-up messages. This approach feels more personal, stands out from text-based follow-ups, and is highly effective for re-engaging prospects, as demonstrated by booking a meeting with a VP of Sales.
After sending a calendar invite, record and email a brief, personal video expressing excitement for the meeting. This personal touch makes it psychologically harder for the prospect to no-show because they've seen your face and heard your enthusiasm, creating a social obligation to attend.
Generic "we miss you" campaigns fail. Instead of a simple message, leverage integrated data to personalize outreach based on an HCP's past behavior. This "we miss you, and we know you" approach has yielded click-through rates exceeding 40% by offering highly relevant content suggestions.
To stand out from generic DMs, use video outreach tools that let you record personalized messages while scrolling through a prospect's own LinkedIn profile or website. This allows you to offer immediate, specific feedback or insights, demonstrating tangible value before asking for a meeting.
To prove a prospecting video is truly personalized, screen-record yourself on the prospect's LinkedIn profile. As you talk, use an annotation tool to circle their accomplishments or specific job description keywords. This visual cue immediately proves the video was made just for them.
Top reps use hyper-personalized videos for their best prospects but scale efforts by using AI-generated avatars for the rest. These AI videos are still personalized with data fields like name and company, making them more effective than generic text emails without the manual effort.
Differentiate communication needs. Use automation for low-stakes messages like appointment reminders. Reserve authentic, human video for high-stakes moments where emotional connection and trust are critical, such as discussing a major purchase or sensitive personal matters.
Instead of a standard email reminder, send a short confirmation video on the morning of the meeting. This personal touch confirms the appointment, reiterates the value proposition for them, and invites the prospect to add agenda items, which significantly increases attendance rates.
After a new LinkedIn connection is accepted, send a short video or voice message. The goal is not to pitch, but simply to introduce yourself and establish that you are a real person. This humanizing step breaks through the noise and builds rapport for a future sales conversation.
When a prospect goes silent, Vidyard's #1 AE sends creative, low-production videos, like spinning in a chair or using a fake elevator background. This human, pattern-interrupting approach helps restart the conversation where a standard follow-up would fail.
Don't use a generic company or product video. A personal introductory video allows a sales professional to establish their credibility and expertise 24/7, making prospects want to talk to them before the first call even happens.
