Vidyard helps us connect with our customers and prospects in a very profound way. This is such a needed product now more than ever. We live in an age where email inboxes are way too cluttered and people hardly ever answer their phone if they don't recognize their number. Vidyard truly helps you stand out compared to other old-school sales teams. We use it for both outbound and inbound marketing/communication/sales reach-outs. It's helpful for every step of the process. Getting someone interested in attending a demo, following up with them after a demo, thanking them for signing up, and following up with them after they go through implementation to see if there are any other products that they could benefit from using.

We have had a lot of issues with integrating the tool into Salesloft and also SalesHub. Often, there won't be an option to upload the video, and sometimes, the quality is compromised. We also had instances where emails would be sent without the video or would go straight to spam.

We use Vidyard to get through the prospecting noise. There are too many typical emails and phone calls so Vidyard is an outlet that provides creativity. Also, putting a face and personality to a seller/buyer relationship is very helpful. It helps with conversions in prospecting and can help compliment a demo or customer issue conversation or meeting.

We use Vidyard to send personalized thank you videos to donors. We have found with the advancement of technology they don't always want to pick up the phone to receive a thank you call. This tool has allowed us to let donors get to know us as staff (see and hear us) without the need to meet, schedule another call and they can respond and view at their leisure. We have also used it for internal training videos so that staff can see demos of stuff without needing to schedule a call that everyone has to join.

I use Vidyard every day, Basically, it saves a lot of time. We have experienced that maintaining our customers is a lot of work and service is key for this success. We have a lot of sales representatives and so many of us maintaining relationships with them. We use Vidyard to be more close to the customers, we design videos to improve the use of the products and it leads to digital evangelization, renewing semester after semester. We use salesforce to keep control of the after-sales follow up and we put our videos on it. When speaking about users, students are happy to see not only a presenting laptop but the person who supports them.

I am sending user's video walkthroughs on new products, how to fix a problem or features, or an introduction of myself to new users. Vidyard allows me to create a more personal touch than a simple email and a less time-consuming alternative to a full meeting with a member.

We are currently implementing a new platform consisting of numerous meetings, tutorials, and syncs. To make it easier to communicate findings, learnings, and use cases for the platform, we've been using Vidyard to record our screens to show how we navigate the new project management platform.

I've also been using it to showcase and explain branding decisions and designs to clients. It's much easier to talk through a concept on video visually than it is to send it over and await feedback. Clients appreciate being able to hear the rationale behind the decisions that were made in their project - it helps to strengthen our expertise and our relationship with them. Putting a face to a project is always valuable and can give team members who wouldn't necessarily have face time a time to shine.

We have used Vidyard to complement our selling process. When we send a quote, we do a little video explaining the quote and the problems we are solving for our clients. The potential clients love this and the acceptance rate has gone up. We also use it to record internal processes that are shared among teams. A great tool to have.

I use Vidyard to send curated messages to prospects prior to demos to add a personal touch and to send screen share video recordings of deeper dives into our software, feature updates to prospective clients. It is used on a daily basis and integrated through Hubspot keeping everything in one nice neat spot.

I use Vidyard to prospect into new accounts and to follow up on opportunities. I have used it for the past five years and seen a lot of success, reaching into some of my largest accounts with unique and personalized outreach has been a game-changer. Some of my largest deals have come from video prospecting with Vidyard and it has caught the attention of C-level prospects and opened doors that otherwise would be impossible to open.

Our business development team uses Vidyard weekly. We're trying to solve one issue - lack of personalization. We have found that our prospects are receiving hundreds of emails from sales teams weekly and we need to find a way to stand out. Vidyard makes this easy because we can put a face to the name through our funny, personalized videos. We try to send out at least 2 videos a day and we have seen great results from our efforts.

I use Vidyard primarily to create a variety of videos for my sales prospects. Prospecting Introduction (prior to initial meeting) Demo videos Q&A - Show and Tell For the most part the videos are quite generic so I can use them at scale. Others are more custom & personal.

Vidyard plugs into our sales cadencing software, Salesloft. With the emails we have in each cadence, Vidyard allows us to insert an animated gif to get the prospect’s attention. With initial outreach, it can be tough to cut through the clutter of someone’s Inbox. Vidyard allows us to do that.

We are looking for ways to stand out from other emails. How to be more engaging and video is a great way to do that. People are more likely to watch a short video than read a text. It's been great so far and we are looking to get more licenses.

Vidyard is an incredible all-in-one video tool. We use it to quickly share videos internally and externally, we also embed them on our websites, track analytics on them. We also used this to sync and push to Youtube Channels. We also have a robust system in place for collecting leads off of these videos and have CTAs and other campaigns attached. We also use their video hub feature that catalogs and categorizes all of our videos into different sections. Lastly, we use the deep integration with Hubspot to get all of the data into our CRM.

We use Vidyard for training, it's been such a big help to be able to share a quick recording on how-to tutorials for our various digital platforms. We also have our new hires record quick introduction videos to share with the class prior to trainings, this really helps them become familiar and comfortable with each other allowing for us to dive in quickly to group discussions. Works great with the team sharing as well, since my team is compiled of everyone in a different state, we can share ideas visually rather than just verbally or through document sharing.

We host all of our webinars and videos on Vidyard, we then embed them on the site. In some of the videos, we have CTAs at the end to drive lead gen opportunities. We also use a connector with our CMS in order to use Vidyard as our source of truth and port over the title and description to display on our site. The streaming is very good in buffering and quality, this takes a lot off of our servers and load times on the site. The customizable images for placeholders being able to select via the video is an extremely great feature.

I primarily use Vidyard for prospecting to new business. I am able to showcase what I do without actually making direct face-to-face contact with a potential buyer. The software allows me to gauge interest based on how many views I get on the video. The platform is also suuuuper customisable when it comes to what information I present and how I present it. Sometimes I record a video of myself out in front of the business I am calling on, and sometimes I record a screen share with myself in a bubble explaining what I'm looking at on the screen. Love this tool a lot, it has been a huuuuge money maker for me.
