Creating Short and Long-Term Plans for Sales Video for B2B Technical Buyers
Most companies don't "have projects" for video, but are traveling, making sales calls, marketing, releasing new products, attending trade shows...and don't realize that video fits hand in glove with these efforts. Video is important to buyers of technical products and, done right, can be used for many years (4-5) while adding to the personal connection that is so vital to the sales process. This session will discuss how manufacturing companies can/are using video to give B2B technical buyers the information they need to make purchase decisions.
