Vidyard has been critical for our team in many ways. One way that we didn't realize how much we'd be using it is for training new teammates while we're all working remotely. I frequently use the chrome extension to record a video of how to do something to send to our whole team or certain teammates. There are other products that do that, but this seems to be the most efficient, easiest, and quickest. Vidyard is incredibly useful for both inbound, and outbound sales and marketing strategies. It helps us increase our open and click rate for emails and overall engagement for our customer journey.

In my industry, there really isn't a time that I feel would be inappropriate to use the tool. I feel it's most useful to an audience that you haven't connected with yet, however. I think your content is what can get you into trouble. A friend of mine was blocked from a decent amount of prospects after sending a video promoting a happy hour.

Well suited for prospecting, adding context from a complex conversation or meeting such as a demo, and providing customers with attention and helpful tips. Less appropriate to use internally. I'd say it's great for distinguishing yourself as well if you are interviewing for a job. You can use it as a follow-up.

As I mentioned before, in our organization it is only used by the sales team, but I think that this will be more efficient if it is used by marketing teams as well. I am thinking that operation teams will help them too, in order to improve HR videos and IT support.

Showing how easy something is to use is great, and when I follow up, have a meeting, or am referred to the people with the responsibility, I am not a big fan of talking heads unless they have something to share with ME about MY needs/challenges and how they can help.

In every business I go to, I will always recommend Vidyard, especially for businesses with too many meetings. Asynchronous updates are a lifesaver and a time saver! For me, being able to record a set of videos that new starters can watch at their own pace, however many times they want, is amazing. It's still personal while getting everybody's time back in their day.

It's a great tool for quickly adding video to an email or a reach out but it can sometimes not work as expected. There have been a few times I nailed the recording then Vidyard froze and I had to do it all over again.

I think it can also be great for our support team to use. Quick videos showing how to use a feature, make an update, etc. It can be really valuable instead of just sending an email with instructions and no resources to back them up. I think it can be less appropriate for mass marketing messages. The idea may work but we may not get the metrics and measurement of the recording that we need that we can get deeper in other software (potentially) *I'll admit I don't have a full view of admin reporting capabilities.

Vidyard is amazing if you are trying to target high-level prospects and cut through the noise of text-heavy emails. I have had great success with Vidyard as a corporate rep and several of my colleagues have as well. They blocked the ad on so new reps can't add it anymore, which has been annoying for them because reps that have been at our company longer get that extra advantage of video prospecting.

Our sales team uses Vidyard every week. The business development team uses this platform the most to connect with prospects. This platform has been essential for our team ever since we started working from home. We can now put a face to the name with our personalized videos. This tool helps us with our outreach and personalization. We love sending videos to prospects that have downloaded content, watched a webinar, or even requested a demo. Our team also loves analytics. Our team will continue to use this platform especially now that we're all working from home. It's a great way to put a face to the name. We love sending over videos with drawings or messages on mini-whiteboards. We've had a lot of success getting prospects to respond to our emails from these videos.

Vidyard is great for making short videos - for prospects or even other team members. I love it for showing support what issues I'm having instead of going back and forth via email trying to describe what's happening. If you want a more professional video, it may not really get you there.

As a Business Development Representative, we reach out to a great deal of prospect contacts. Vidyard has always been a great way to personalize the message to them. Whether it is inviting them to an upcoming event or letting them know about a new feature[s] in a product. I have sent many invitations with a personal message from myself (on camera) and have had great success with them. There are time[s] when Vidyard is not a good fit [from my experience], [for example] if I am sending out an email blast to a great number of people, I feel Vidyard would lose it[s] personal touch.

Perfect integration for anything you’re doing from a sales cadencing approach. I would recommend Vidyard if you’re in an SDR-type role or some type of early-in-the-funnel business development type of position. It is probably less appropriate if most of your work is further down the pipeline and you’re focused primarily on closing deals.

I reach out to prospects all the time and this allows me to be different, give a short intro video that is tied to a longer demonstration video as if it were one video and then it puts my calendar at the end for them to book a call with me. I also use it to answer questions of both prospects and current customers. Easy to record a quick video answering their question.

We have a robust content marketing program and need a place to host and quickly share and track hundreds of videos and Vidyard is the perfect tool for this. We keep some videos internal and have one central place they are stored, and externally we can set up really nice sharing pages.

Use Vidyard in almost all sales scenarios where the connection is important. Vidyard is great for asynchronous messages that need to be shared amongst clients and teams. We use it to aggregate all video metrics and reporting, as we are able to publish to basically any media site (youtube, LinkedIn, website, Facebook, etc.)

I've used the platform hundreds of times to create opportunities in the prospecting cadence. It allows me to get in front of prospects I'd never have been able to without, by texting the videos, emailing the videos, and all sorts of ways. It's made me thousands of dollars. I love it!
