Why use video?
3 Do’s and Don’ts for Personalized Video Content
In the episode, Donald and Jerrod go over ways to overcome the obstacles associated with video, namely, the time it takes and how to not come in sounding like you’re about to give a terrible pitch. It’s clear, just from listening to this call, how personable and informative Jerrod is. We learned a lot, and we know you will, too.
If you want to reach out to Jerrod, find him on LinkedIn, or on his website, jerrodbestmitchell.com. And of course, the TSE community by sending a message to Donald. Drop him a message on LinkedIn, Tik Tok, and Instagram @donaldckelly. You can also join TSE’s space on Circle to talk to Donald and other sellers looking to improve their craft.
“There must be the top 20 people on your list that day that you can send a video out to. You can look at your list and tell - these are the best ones. And you may not get them on a phone call, but video might be the next option… Personalize the video, please, don’t send them a generic text. It will make a massive difference in your pipeline, and it will probably improve your response rate.” - Jerrod Best-Mitchell
