Question on video outreach - prospecting

Hi Sales Folks! 

Quick question, is anyone using video outreach in their outbound approach when prospecting? I’m a BDR manager trying to first perfect this format and then guide my team on the process of it works for me. I’m in staffing and recruiting industry selling SaaS. 

Thanks everyone!

Yes, my suggestion as well. This has been asked many times, and the comments you'll see have provided a range of opinion.

I have made comments about this before, but a great person to follow on LinkedIn is Katherine Caldwell. She specializes in video prospecting

Obviously if all she did was post bikini pics and get paid for product placement I would never have suggested her. She knows what she is talking about, and has been doing video prospecting well enough to get a sponsorship deal from a video prospecting company (I believe vidyard, but I could be wrong there)

Why? Depends on the industry right? Also my Director is pushing me and the team to do at least 10 videos a week.

Not sure about the industry but I haven’t gotten success. May be I do it wrong and I try to strategize my time on what works for me i.e. calls and emails

sending a loom can be pretty dope. if they watch it and it shows that theres a common problem you solve it can make all the difference.
