VideoAsk (by Typeform)

What do you like best?

VideoAsk accelerates how quickly I can truly engage with new c-level prospects. People I'm communicating with for the first time don't expect me to take the time to create a customized video for them. It makes a great first impression! I almost always get a reaction of some sort and people remember me for trying things in new ways. (That's a positive brand association from my perspective.) We're using VideoAsk in prospecting, brand communications, research, coaching, and client reports.

What do you dislike?

Envisioning the 'funnel' for early users can be time-consuming (at least it was for me).

Recommendations to others considering the product:

1. Start with a list of ideas and order them by the highest potential return

2. Pick one or two things that are LOW on that list so that you can learn without making too-public mistakes

3. You'll do best at VideoAsk if you're good at speaking, writing, video, and sales thinking. If you're weak in an area (or two), find some people to go on the journey with you before you start. (You'll love the better look--and responses--you'll get with a more complete team.)

4. Do steps 1-3 ;-)
