Vidyard Customer Success Story

By: Mary Hart on Mar 23, 2021 8:15:38 PM

Thus, the firm had an inefficiency at the top of their funnel which made it difficult to gain the attention of a critical persona: marketing executives.

Solutions Used

Vidyard had previously deployed SalesLoft and continued to do so in conjunction with Koncert (formerly, ConnectLeader) Agent-Assisted Dialer. The initial goal was to recover dormant leads that went to voicemail and reengage them within their cadences. The Koncert platform was deployed for both initial contact outreach (cold calling) and recovering dormant contacts.

The Koncert Customer Service Manager worked with Vidyard to understand their Business Development process and align Koncert with Vidyard’s outbound processes. There was no need to change business development workflows. Furthermore, Koncert managed lead prioritization allowing BDRs to log in and immediately begin calling their best prospects.

Vidyard is a “huge Salesforce shop.” Reps often have a dozen different tabs open while managing their activities within Salesforce. Koncert is delivered as a tab within Salesforce so sales reps never need to leave SFDC. Koncert pulls the targeted call list and logs each call along with call sentiment and disposition.

“If it’s a wrong number, Koncert automatically tells Salesforce to flag that as a wrong number and updates our system. It's just all completely integrated so the reps aren't having to do that manual work. It was one of the main reasons that we were excited to start with Koncert,” said Wardle.

As is often the case with best practice BDR teams, multi-channel cadences are employed to gain prospect attention. A typical Vidyard BDR cadence begins with an email containing a Vidyard embedded personalized video. A day later, the BDR places an outbound call through Koncert. Day three typically involves a social action such as commenting or liking a post on social media.

Wardle likens multi-channel BDR messaging to display media where seven brand impressions are required before consumers begin to connect with the brand. “They have to see your first email. They have to receive your phone call and your voicemail. They must see that this person is on my LinkedIn. They’re a real person. And then maybe next time you email them or the next time you call them, they engage with you.”

What’s more, multi-channel personalized messaging conveys personality. Due to marketing overload driven by automated emails and phone bots, the default action of decision makers is to ignore most inbound messages. BDRs need to convey to prospects that “I'm not just a bot firing random emails and templates to you. I've reached out for reason, and that's why I use the combination of all these media.”

While the initial objective was on engaging dormant contacts, Vidyard BDRs benefited immediately as the new contact rate leapt from between eight and ten contacts per day to between fifteen and twenty net-new leads. Cold outreach productivity jumped greater than fifty percent.

Koncert integrations with SalesLoft and Salesforce ensure simple workflows and on-demand insights. “Our reps jump into Koncert today and call by stage and do a quick read of the screen when the call connects,” said Wardle.

On-demand intelligence provides context to BDRs, ensuring the conversation and messaging are stage and account specific. For example, they know “this person has only seen my first email, so they probably have no idea what Vidyard is, I better start with why Vidyard is for them.”

Metrics

Automatically capturing incorrect number data and conversion rates assist with evaluating data vendors. Likewise, Koncert’s reports help managers monitor calls placed, hours dedicated to outbound calling, and BDR conversion ratios.

Metrics are relatively straightforward for business development and reported by Koncert. How many calls did they make? How many opportunities are they creating? What's their conversion rate like?

“We're seeing well over 50% improvement from our efficiency – the ability for a rep to reach out to 200 people instead of 100 people – just bumping up their attainment by a huge margin,” said Wardle

“They probably don't want to hear this, but we're likely going to have to up their quotas now because the Koncert process just makes it way more efficient for them to create opportunities.”
