In one paragraph
Video first selling means leading with a short video from a named person on your team, in place of a long email or a brochure. It covers prospecting videos, answers to common buyer questions and faces on your website. This page ends with a video plan you can start with a phone.
A physiotherapy equipment dealer in Coimbatore wants to reach clinic owners across Tamil Nadu. The rep sends a catalogue PDF on WhatsApp and hears nothing. A week later the owner of the dealership records a one-minute Tamil clip, says the clinic owner's name, holds up the machine and explains one use. Two people reply the same afternoon.
The reason is not the video format. It is that a face and a voice tell the buyer that a real person is behind the message, and the clip can name them. A brochure cannot do that.
The sales head decides which videos to make and who appears in them. The rep records prospecting clips from a phone. Marketing, or whoever looks after your social channels, publishes the answers to common questions. It replaces long introductory emails.
The webinars page covers live sessions, and the educational content page covers written material. This page is about short clips made for one person or one question.

If you want this done for you
Shoot a month of vertical video in one day, or do not start.
The work
What this is actually like.
“Name the prospect in the first sentence”
A video that opens with the person's name and business is watched. A video that opens with a company introduction is skipped. Hold up the thing you mention, show their shop board, or point at their street if you have been there.
“Two minutes is the ceiling”
Prospecting clips beyond two minutes are rarely finished. Say who you are, what you noticed about them, one useful idea and one question. The question should be easy to answer with a voice note or a thumbs up.
“Do not polish it”
A phone held at eye level in daylight is enough. Studio lighting and a script read from a prompter make the clip sound like an advertisement, which is the thing you are trying to avoid.
“Question videos last longer than outreach”
A clip of the owner answering what does installation cost or how do I check the warranty is sent again and again by reps, and sits on the website for years. Record the ten questions your reps hear every week before you record anything clever.
What we do
What you end up with.
The documents this topic produces, what each one is for, and how you know it is finished.
The video plan
A sheet listing each video: type (prospecting, question, meet the team), who appears, the language, the question it answers, where it will be posted, and a date to record.
Result: Finished when the first five videos have a name and a recording day.
The prospecting clip script
A four-line outline: greeting with their name, something you noticed, one useful idea, one easy question. Rehearse once, record twice, send the better take.
Result: Finished when a rep can record a clip in about ten minutes without notes.
The question video set
Short clips answering the questions in your library gap map, each under ninety seconds, each starting with the question as the buyer would phrase it.
Result: Finished when a rep can send a link for any top-ten question.
The faces page
Photographs of the people a buyer will meet, with a one-line introduction and a thirty-second clip each if possible, on the About page and in the proposal.
Result: Finished when a prospect can recognise the rep at the door.
The reply comparison
A table of videos sent and replies received, set beside the same figures for text messages in the same period.
Result: Finished when the owner can say which format earned more replies.
