Firstly, avoid the trap of trying to use a single explainer video everywhere and for everything. This means that you are asking a video to do too much. It is supposed to be known that a single video cannot do both the job of sales and marketing within a span of 90 seconds as most of them are short. If you give your video a specific task like attracting the attention of your target market or even sharing a compelling reason to get on the phone with you, raises its chance of converting. With a number of tasks directed to a single video, risks clogging or even draining your pipeline. This is because not all leads are equal. Therefore, do not entertain the tire-kickers or empty room. Only attract those who are important to you and leave the rest.

As a result, if you just post a video blindly, with no lifecycle plans or promotion plans, you are leaving leads behind and probably you won’t beat your goals soon.  On the other hand, if you are not selling the way people like to buy or when you are not actively engaging with your leads and prospects throughout, they will put you aside for your competitor. Therefore, through these videos, ensure their attention is captured and move them in the pipeline with emotional mix and intellectually compelling messages.

Therefore, it is easier for them to replicate what you do and your features. Tell a story about your world that your customer’s want to be part of and then at every phase, air the story of your business. Consequently, your leads will tend to make a comparison shop and evaluate you on criteria that do not favor you. Every time you speak about your features and tactics, you are making sales difficult. Therefore, avoid at all cost doing the same.
