Engage and convert: How to nail your cold calling video approach

Whether you’re connecting with remote team members, conducting interviews or pitching a sales presentation, a video conferencing script ensures smooth communication. It offers a personal touch that email messages and phone calls lack, making it ideal for high-stakes situations like job interviews, sales demos or client meetings.

What is a cold calling video?

Cold calling videos are short personalized video messages sales professionals create to reach out to potential customers or clients they haven’t interacted with before – i.e., cold prospects. Instead of making a phone call, a salesperson or recruiter records a concise direct video and sends it via email or another messaging platform

What’s the best strategy to use when participating in a group video call?

Preparation is key. Start with a clear video call template to outline the agenda and ensure all participants are aware of the objectives and who will be on the call. Engaging with each person and calling them by name keeps the conversation flowing, while having a strong internet connection reduces potential disruptions.


For marketing or sales teams, creating a promotional video script sample can help new product or service launches. These scripts should be short but informative, delivering key points about what sets your offering apart from the competition.


Cold calling videos for small businesses

For small businesses with limited resources, cold calling videos can be a cost-effective way to stand out and build trust:

  1. Low-cost tools: Small businesses often operate on tight budgets. Fortunately, recording a video can be done with just a smartphone or laptop camera. Many free or low-cost video-hosting platforms (such as Loom or Vidyard) offer easy ways to record, embed and send your videos.

  2. Personalized branding: As a small business, your personal brand can be a major asset. A friendly face and genuine enthusiasm in a short video can make recipients feel more connected to you, helping your business stand out against bigger competitors.

  3. Community and local focus: If you operate in a localized market, referencing community events or shared local interests in your video can create an instant sense of familiarity and authenticity. Prospects feel like they’re hearing from a neighbor rather than just another impersonal marketing pitch.

  4. Human connection and trust: Trust is often a key differentiator for small businesses. Showing up face-to-face, even virtually, highlights transparency. Prospects can sense your passion for your product or service, which can reduce the skepticism often associated with cold outreach.

  5. Scalability and follow-up: While personalization takes time, you can still batch certain parts of your video (like product demos) and customize only the intro and closing. This approach balances personalization with efficiency. Always follow up with a brief note referencing the video to keep the conversation flowing.
