Benefits of Using VideoProspect for Sales and Outreach

Here’s why top-performing sales teams are ditching cold emails for video:

Saves Time

Create one video, and then scale it across hundreds or even thousands of leads with dynamic personalization.

Boosts Engagement

Show your prospect their website in the background while you speak directly to them in the foreground. It feels magical.

Feels Human

Emails can feel robotic. A video? That’s you, speaking one-on-one. It feels like a real conversation—even if it’s not happening at the same time.

Step-by-Step: How to Get Started with VideoProspect

Setting up VideoProspect is easy. Here’s a walkthrough from sign-up to sending.

• Look into the camera and smile.
• Keep it under 60 seconds.

Step 2: Upload Your Prospect CSV

Pro Tip: Clean and verify your list beforehand using tools.

Step 3: Generate Personalized Videos in Bulk

• Capture real-time website previews from each prospect’s URL.

Step 5: Share or Embed Videos Anywhere

Once your videos are ready, you have various sharing options:

• Copy the unique URL and paste it into your cold emails.
• Embed it on your landing page, website, or funnel pages.

Best Practices for Video Prospecting Success

To ensure your videos perform well, keep these best practices in mind:

Keep It Short

Aim for 30–60 seconds. The goal is to spark interest, not give a full demo.

Speak to One Person

Always address the individual prospect using “you.” Avoid generic terms like “everyone” or “your team.”

Smile and Stay Natural

Don’t over-rehearse. Be yourself—people buy from people, not scripts.

Test Before Sending

Preview a few rendered videos before launching your campaign to catch any mismatches or visual glitches.

Follow Up with Relevance

Send a second message that references the video, especially if they clicked but didn’t respond.
