QUOTES
The visual details of video messaging are less important - Katherine: "I don't think it matters if you're wearing a hoodie, if you're in your kitchen, or your bedroom. I just think, in general, look somewhat professional. I mean, I guess you could say, you could look at it and say, would I watch video type of thing."
The optimal length of a video message - Katherine: "I think 45 seconds is the sweet spot. I think everyone's pretty familiar with that. No one's going to watch more than 45 seconds and, when you send a clip, they can instantly see how long it is so they'll already determine if they're going to watch it from that."
Start small and refine your video message - Katherine: "When you've really honed in on your message and you're not spending way too much time and you're being efficient with it, it really pays off. So what I would, if you're a sales manager, do not overcommit sales reps to sending 20, 30 videos in their first week of video prospecting."
