Laura Ramos, a former VP and Principal Analyst for Forrester Research, will show how Xerox is making strides in using video to engage more meaningfully—and effectively—with customers in three key ways: 1) Self-produced testimonials, 2) Hallway conversations, and 3) As in integral part of client case studies. In addition, she’ll show how Xerox uses video to engage clients on its Thought Leadership site and to engage the sales force with “Brake Time” by using video to capture “how I got that big deal” that contributes to sales-enablement best practices sharing.TRANSCRIPT

Best Practices for Creating Engaging Video
• Tell the customer’s story, not yours.
– Real people and places
– Make problem, pain stand out; don’t hide it
– Show both sides of the solution – what went wrong?
• The shorter, the better
– Two parts: the “teaser” and then “the rest of the story”
• Humor is good, but know your audience
• Make it easy to share
– Integrate online and physical elements
– Explore social channels
