@chritopher_bond make the recording process as smooth and easy as possible for them, remember this is something that you need

Answer

Video prospecting is definitely a game changer! I've found that personalized intro videos help build rapport way faster than cold emails alone. Loom is my go-to for quick, customized videos - super easy to record and share. The key is keeping them short and to the point while still showing you've done your research on their company/needs. Follow-up videos after key convos are clutch too for staying top of mind. Still experimenting with other types but those are my staples!

@cavan the simplest ones but also the most effective

@nick_willstrop good question. IMHO, I’ve generally tried more products from a video product demo that haven’t tried to seem like a sales pitch. Vulnerability, empathy, and openness. What’s working, why should I care, what’s this not for?

In our case, at rookit.app we directly tied videos to the overall product experience. We’re still in public beta, so whether this takes wings or not is still TBD.

What about you? What video product demos got you to try the product?
