IndiVideo for Sales Gaining Momentum
IndiVideo for Sales, which allows sales, service
and marketing resources to integrate personalized videos quickly
and easily into their sales sequences, leading to higher email open
rates, more meetings and, ultimately, better sales results. The
demand for this capability has been positive with an increase in
activity as well as closed deals. Over 50 meetings with prospects
were booked in Q2 and the number has accelerated through the 3rd
quarter. Approximately 50% of these calls are converting into
qualified opportunities. These results reinforce that the IndiVideo
platform presents a valuable opportunity for the Company to reach
new businesses and customers.
The platform's affordability and ease of use
make it an attractive option for companies in the financial
services vertical, as evidenced by BlueRush's current and
prospective large customers who represent thousands of potential
seats. Moreover, the platform's accessibility extends beyond the
financial sector. Even small businesses with just five or more
salespeople and a basic marketing function can leverage IndiVideo
to enhance their sales, service, and marketing sequences. This
broad appeal expands BlueRush's potential customer base and
positions their platform for widespread adoption.
