By following up with an email sequence with links to videos like case studies, customer profile videos and promotional videos. These videos will help to build your authority and credibility, and provide proof of your claims.

Give iPads to your face-to-face sales people

They can play angry birds in their downtime, but, even more importantly, they can easily integrate videos into their sales presentations. Loading up the iPad with product demonstrations, testimonials and video case studies will help your sales team make more sales. Because they can easily access and share the right proof elements.
