Video content is a powerful tool to help any seller accomplish their selling goals. However, it’s only powerful when executed and distributed properly. In today’s episode of The Sales Evangelist, Donald is joined by digital marketing professional and owner of KickStart Dental, Chris Pistorius, to learn how any seller can capitalize on video production to garner prospects’ attention. What are things people get wrong with video production?
Maintain consistent communication:
Chris’s major takeaway? Done is better than perfect. If you take too much time perfecting your studio or finding the ideal tools, you’ll never get it done. Once you put a plan in place and track your progress toward your goals, you’ll find opportunities between what you’re doing and what you need to do.

Whether you’re a sales professional or work in another industry, hearing the word ‘no’ can get anyone in a negative mindset.

Why does discouragement affect us so badly?
We make offers through options, just like a fine-dining server.
Sales is a place of service.
Sales isn’t a numbers game; it’s a skills game.
