5. Focus on Webinars and Demos for Engagement

For many businesses, video-based engagement is untapped opportunity and an under-utilised yet highly effective gateway to reaching a whole new audience. Producing an engaging webinar or demo helps expand your reach.
 

Webinars combine thought leadership with direct audience engagement. They are perfect for showcasing expertise, uncovering or solving client pain points, and building relationships.

Having a video-based demo means prospects can view your offering helping showcase your product or services without feeling pressured by the “pitch” and while helping attract your top-of-sales funnel interest.

 
Action Step: Start a webinar series to showcase key industry trends and share actionable insights. Pre-record a demo of your product or service so prospect can do their own research before you try selling to them.
 
Video-based content helps break down complex topics into simple, digestible bits of information while providing a different experience to educate prospects, clients and staff. With solutions like our own Webinar-as-a-Service, producing a highly engaging webinar or demo has never been easier.
