Raise your hand if you love getting telemarketer calls and sales emails from random companies that suspiciously got a hold of your information.

It feels icky, doesn’t it!?

So what does the mean for sales teams if cold-calling and emailing isn’t an effective way to reach people anymore?

You guessed it…

Use video outreach.

Video is the next best thing because it’s the path of least resistance. In other words, it’s easy (and more exciting) for people to watch a video than it is to talk on the phone or through email. 

And for salespeople, video outreach allows you to build relationships at a distance because video makes people feel like they know you, which makes them more emotionally committed and responsive.

In this week’s episode, I share some of the biggest takeaways from Vidyard’s newly published “Definitive Guide to Video for Sales”. Plus, I’ll give you some of my personal tips for using video in the sales process to close business deals at faster rates.

When it comes to business, we tend to think more customers the better. But have you ever stopped to think about the quality of your customers?

Quantity is nice, but quality customers make your work easier and more enjoyable. Learning to attract your perfect customer takes effort but the relationship that’s built is priceless.

So how do you find YOUR perfect customer? The secret is describing your ideal customer in great detail — not just demographics, but psychographics as well.

When you do this step, you’re crystallizing the avatar of your perfect customer, which goes a long way towards manifesting them as an actual client. 

I’ll explain in more detail in the podcast.

But that’s not all.

In this week’s episode, we talk with Wendy Hartley and Matthew Welch (owner of Journeyman) about different strategies for attracting your perfect customers and how to keep your clients happy and satisfied.

Facebook has reached 2.38 billion monthly active users.

Pretty crazy, right?

And with so many people using the platform, you’d think it was easy to increase your content’s reach…

...but you’d be mistaken.

You may presume your content is good enough for “Facebook-landia,” but the judges at Facebook may have a different opinion. They want your videos to be authentic and original, just like our real-life relationships should be (crazy concept, right?).

In this episode, you’ll discover what Facebook is REALLY looking for and how you can create videos that align with their standards so your content gets seen by more people.

Facebook isn’t going anywhere soon so if you want a leg up on your competition, tune in to this week’s episode of Video Marketing Mastery!

Would you buy something if you didn’t know what to do with it?

This isn’t a trick question: the answer is no.

The same is true with video marketing. You can create the best video for your clients, but if there is no underpinning strategy, you’re leaving its performance up to chance.

And what happens if it doesn't generate the results your client was expecting? You’ll feel embarrassed and your clients will stop doing business with you.

That’s why smart video marketers start with strategy. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a product that is misaligned with the businesses’ goals.

In this week’s episode, we talk about the different stages of creating a winning strategy with WireBuzz’s very own: Marcus Krieg (President), Tim Alwell (Strategist and Copywriter), Sarah Scott (Producer), Alicia Longo (Producer), and Devon Dresback (Video Director On Set). We also go a little too far with the behind the scenes details, just a “heads” up.

Imagine downloading 20 years of viral marketing success in 50 minutes.

How much would that be worth to you?

Well, never mind the price tag — this one is free.

Recently, I spoke at the Arizona Innovation Marketing Association (AZIMA) and shared my most powerful discoveries to help you level up your sales and marketing results.

This isn’t a speech preaching to “hustle harder” and “grind.” That’s unhelpful (and frankly, I can’t stand “gurus” who push that message).

This is the exact opposite, and I can’t wait to reveal these tactics and strategies with you.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why customer acquisition is getting harder

What to say and in what order to get your prospects to buy

How to brainstorm profitable video topics for your business

How to use relevant stories that command attention

Throughout the speech, I also drop 19 different “marketing hacks,” so I created a free cheat-sheet to help you follow along. Download it by requesting access to the WireBuzz Insider Facebook group and then clicking “Files” on the left-side menu”.

We are living in an age where you no longer have to be a professional to create professional quality video content.

No, this isn’t an exaggeration. Before the prosumer shift, there were only two sides of the coin: amateur or pro.

But now, the divide between hobbyist and professional is continuing to shrink. Everyone has access to affordable, high-quality equipment to create better video content.

So why should this matter to you?

For one, there’s no excuse for poor video content anymore — businesses have higher expectations than before.

Secondly, prosumer equipment makes it easier to tell emotionally-driven, cinematic stories that capture attention and pull prospects through your sales and marketing message. That means more clients and more revenue for your business.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Dale Krupla, head of video production at WireBuzz, and Devin Dresback video shooter at WireBuzz, to talk about the prosumer shift in detail and how it’s taking the video marketing world by storm.
