Video is your secret weapon to stand out. Sales teams that use video in email communication see:
VidGrid offers email integrations for Google, Outlook, and SalesLoft so you can record, edit, send, and track videos right within the platforms you are already using.
Simply add the integration to get started.
Simply make the video within the VidGrid platform, and then copy and paste the video into your email draft.
You might be thinking something along the lines of “(1) It’s impossible to ‘copy and paste’ videos, and (2) emailing out full video files seems like a horrible idea.” You are 100% correct.
When you “copy” a VidGrid video, you are not really copying the video. You are copying a GIF preview of the first 5 seconds of the video. And when you paste it, you get a play button overlay with a link to the full video, that looks like this:
So, you really can email your “video” out through any video platform without worrying about sending out large files or triggering spam filters.
Just click the “more” option under your video and select “Copy GIF.” You can now paste that GIF directly into email drafts.
The email text should be short and sweet. You want to draw the focus to the video. If you give away too much in the text, they may not watch the video, and you lose the chance to build the face-to-face connection.
