Enterprise Video Platform for Effective Sales Training

What happens once your sales reps have wrapped up their prospect calls for the day? Where are those audio and video recordings stored? Is the media accessible for scalable training of new and existing teams? How are the calls monitored or reviewed for quality and compliance? Is it practically feasible for someone to review the numerous audios and videos to highlight best practices or flag any mistakes made as part of the sales process and provide instant feedback?

These are only some of the questions cropping up with the increasing use of video and other digital media for sales training.

Every organization today generates varying volumes of rich media, including videos, audios, presentation slides and images. As video takes center stage in delivering personalized and highly engaging sales and sales training, your sales teams are also required to become more agile than ever to constantly enhance and update sales skills in a dynamic sales training process.

With global sales teams spanning over various cities, countries or even continents, every company’s sales department now needs a consolidated enterprise video platform where global teams can store, manage, search, assign and share videos for training, collaborative learning and timely feedback.

Achieving sales training efficiency and consistency

Your sales reps are the face of your company, products and services. They are expected to deliver the most up-to-date, comprehensive details of your product, pricing, and support. The stakes are high, and with frequently evolving product features and policies, your sales teams are expected to learn faster and smarter to keep their knowledge current at all times.

For this, video is a handy tool that helps you quickly disseminate new updates and onboard sales reps to scale and standardize your sales process for greater quality and consistency. Moreover, sales call recordings are an effective way to provide training and feedback in a more targeted and optimal manner to local and remote teams located anywhere around the globe.

The key challenges facing sales training departments

Your sales teams are constantly engaged in audio and video calls. As a result, they generate numerous video and audio recordings on a daily basis. Depending on the size of your overall sales force, you could be producing massive volumes of videos and audios in a matter of weeks.

Second, sales calls can be lengthy, going anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. This coupled with the number of media produced, can cause immense challenges to store, manage, find, view, review and distribute the media.

The biggest challenge, however, lies in locating specific words, patterns, or other content within the media. For instance, it is impossible for anyone reviewing sales video calls to manually listen to entire 20-30 minute calls to identify any mistakes – and then repeat that for 10s or even 100s of calls daily.

Additionally, with sales teams normally dispersed across different locations and with reps increasingly being mobile or even remote, it is important that all sales calls media is recorded, stored and accessible for sharing from anywhere, anytime.

To resolve these challenges, you need an enterprise video platform to collectively capture, store, manage, search and share rich media files in the most time and cost-efficient manner, with smart technologies used for automated media processing.

Resolving sales training challenges with a smart enterprise video platform

In an AI-enabled enterprise video platform, VIDIZMO offers a high level of automation and autonomous video processing and search. For instance, VIDIZMO’s AI speech services enable automatic video transcription and closed captioning, which indexes all video content for smart, in-video search. With this, a single keyword search delivers precise results for all videos containing that particular keyword.

For a deeper and narrower search within the keyword search results, VIDIZMO also employs faceted search or a highly categorical faceted navigation that uses multiple filters or content categories to refine search results to very specific media.

Other than that, VIDIZMO also employs AI-powered facial search of automatically identified faces in a video using AI vision services for facial recognition.

Similarly, VIDIZMO has the capability for in-video object search using AI vision services for object recognition. The same also applies to search based on characters that appear in videos, implemented using AI technology for Optical Character Recognition or OCR.

VIDIZMO also has the capability for search based on speech, voice, or audio in the video using AI speech technologies for speaker recognition or voice/ audio recognition.
