5 Video Prospecting Ideas (With Video Scripts) Using Videoform
1. The secret to getting your targeted account
Use this for your next Videoform if you have a target account in mind. With some flashes of creativity, humor, subject line, and cartoon images to express your emotions, this can be a masterpiece.
Hey Ben,
I was planning on giving you a call, but it seems like your schedule is too full. That's why I recorded this video for you!
I have been watching you, but not in a weird way. I work for IMPACT, dedicated to helping brands grow.
That’s why I think we are a good fit to work together.
I know you just got a round of funding and your product is doing well. The only thing left to do before success is to increase your reach in Germany, which seems like it's going well!
I understand that you're excited about the new updates to your website. However, I noticed there was no call-to-action in place, and it doesn't look like it will bring any more visitors on board!
I believe there is a better way, and I would like the opportunity to talk about it with you over a virtual coffee.

2. Grab Your Prospect’s Attention
Instead of talking about you, make it about your prospect with this video prospecting idea.
Hey Jane, (With her name on a white paper and wave enthusiastically)
Your TED talk on "The future of flying" has been all over the web for me to watch once again in awe - it was electrifying! I sent this video to grab your attention just like how you grabbed everyone's attention in your recent TED talk.
Never in a million years could I have executed that talk perfectly like you, and it became viral overnight.
And that’s exactly what I’m trying to do with you—trying to grab your attention. The reason for this video is that I recently found that you're looking for a dedicated shipping company to ship your equipment safely overseas.
I want to get in touch via phone and talk about this opportunity with you. So please click on the book meeting button or give me a call back to this number if you want to take it further!

3. Use Webcam + Screen Capture to Attract Your Audience
Show what your product can do by sharing your screen along with a webcam to attract the target audience for best results.
Hey John,
It’s Jane from CoffeSip. I wanted to send you a text message but I sent you a personalized video instead. I understand that you are using this new recipe of coffee at your franchise which was a hit.
I would love to tell you about my new coffee machine that does wonders! (Screen share your product and show pictures of customers having their fill, or social media success)
After speaking with your secretary, I've sent over a free sample for your team to taste. I would love to hear your feedback and talk about the next steps.
Let me know the best time that works for your team on the calendar to get on a phone call, maybe this week or next week. All the best! Take care!
4. Use Mutual Interest to Pop a Video
Do you and your potential customers have the same interest? Then sending this type of recorded video is the best way to capture interest with a great first impression.
Hey Matt,
Thanks for clicking this video. You probably know why I am sending this video because yesterday I met with your sales representative - Dave in a football match.

Let me know if you are interested, and we can talk about the real-time growth strategy in detail.
All the best Matt!
5. Pre-Meeting Video Prospecting Idea
Record a VideoForm instead of sales emails and send this personalized video before the meeting. This reduces the cancellation rate significantly.
