As you consider and begin to use video in your messaging, the challenge becomes your ability to control the quality of the video, because the next step will be to roll out video messaging to all of your salespeople, maintaining control of the quality of the message. Online video is proving to be a valuable component to sales, marketing, and social media; on websites, in email communication and marketing, and on social networks. How do you learn how to use it effectively? How will you address certain technology issues like view ability, lead conversion, management, and analytics? Furthermore, your salespeople will do anything to meet quota and individuals are adopting video at a meteoric rate. Will you tell them they can’t use video or online communications, or will you provide a framework to maintain brand quality and help them be successful?
