Sales Integrity

“Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video compared to 10% when reading it in text." [Source: Insivia Reports] We continue with our theme of “Creating Content” as a sales professional. Today we focus on sending videos within LinkedIn InMails to New Prospects. It’s not as easy as it may sound. People who don’t know you typically won’t click a link for fear it could be a virus or something less desirable. Within InMails LinkedIn doesn’t convert a link to a preview of the video like it does on its activity feed wall when you post a link in an Update. During this episode we provide you with a “sales hack” on how to get around this challenge within LinkedIn. We also provide you a quick blueprint and outline for how to structure your message within the 300 character limit LinkedIn imposes on you when sending messages to 2nd degree contacts or beyond using InMails. If you want to learn a creative way to send videos to target market prospects within LinkedIn that simply yields results, then you will want to listen to this episode.
