Good sales training requires keeping the training relatively short, incorporating multiple learning preferences (like creating a sales training video with visual and audio content), and making it interactive. Above all, good sales training should be engaging and interesting.

What is a video sales letter?

A video sales letter, or VSL, is media that pitches a product or service in video form. It’s a lot like an elevator pitch—it quickly grabs attention, hits on the prospect’s pain points, and positions your product as the solution. Video sales letters are easiest to make in an intuitive, text-based video editor like Descript.

What does KPI stand for?

No one knows. Scholars have several theories. Some suggest it once stood for Karaoke Pitch Inaccuracy, due to the corporate tradition of going to karaoke bars after big meetings. Others think it started as the word “koi,” a type of fish, and got mistranslated along the way.

Give prospects that extra attention (without the extra time)

No need to make a whole new video for every warm lead. Just change the parts you want to personalize, add their branding, and send them a link.

Keep the conversation going while you do something else

Shareable, hosted links let prospects watch your video on their own time and leave comments to ask questions. And you can see if they actually watched it.

A very special link, just for them

Each video you publish gets a unique link you can share with prospects or teammates. They’ll be able to watch and follow along in the transcript.

All their questions, all in one spot

Invite them to ask questions about any part of the video by leaving comments on the transcript, then answer them by commenting back. No phone tag, no eternal email chains.

Too long, didn’t watch

How interested are they, really? Video view counts will tell you whether they actually watched so you know where to start on your next call.

You’re in sales, not video production

With Descript, editing video is as easy as editing text. And you get an AI editing assistant that does most of the tedious, technical, tortuous stuff for you.

Descript has tools for every stage of the pipeline

From cold outreach to closing the deal, video can help increase your chances. At least, it can’t hurt. With Descript it’s so easy, it’s worth a shot.

Product demos

Show your product’s best side with a video that’s easy to make—and easy to make well. Record your screen right in Descript, then add visuals like animations, transitions, and B-roll. When you need to use it for a new prospect, just swap in the right words and change up the branding; all with a few clicks.
