How to Give Sales Video Content They’ll Actually Use
If you’ve ever built great content that never left your marketing folder, you already know the problem.
Sales doesn’t need more assets, they need easy-to-share moments they can use right after a call, in an email, or on LinkedIn - without asking marketing for help every week.
This article takes a practical look at how marketing teams can package short video content so sales can actually use it in the real world.
Daily Scenario: “I Need Something to Send This Prospect”
This is the post-call follow-up moment where speed matters more than perfection. A seller just finished a call and wants to keep the conversation going. They’re not looking for:
- A long webinar
- A slide deck
- A 5-minute explainer
They want something that’s:
- Short
- Visual
- Easy to drop into email or social
This is where content sharing usually falls apart because Marketing has options but sales doesn’t have time, skills or resources to customize it.
How Marketing Can Make This Simple for Sales
Sales enablement works like a well-oiled machine when marketing does the setup once and sales can reuse it everywhere.
Instead of sending folders full of word documents and heavy video files, or “let me know what you need,” marketers can package short videos in formats sellers already know how to use.
This is exactly what the Sales Enablement module in Parmonic is designed to do.
Use Case #1: Adding Video to a Sales Email
A visual in an email beats a text-heavy follow-up every time.
Here’s how it plays out:
- Marketing enables emailable static images or GIFs
- Seller copies and pastes into an email
- Prospect sees a visual they can click, not a paragraph to skim past
Use Case #2: Sellers Sharing Video on Social
It's important for sales reps to stay visible with prospects on social, especially on LinkedIn. But creating or editing video content isn’t their job - and it shouldn’t slow them down. What they need is content that:
- Supports conversations they’re already having
- Feels natural coming from them
- Doesn’t require extra tools or prep
The ideal sales enablement setup lets a seller:
- Grab a short, relevant video clip
- Share it to social in one step or download it to post natively
- Add their own caption and perspective
That’s when social sharing becomes a habit instead of a hurdle and when sellers actually use video to stay top of mind with prospects without getting into video editing or approvals.
Use Case #3: One Link Instead of 20 Assets
The fewer links you give sales, the more content actually gets shared.
With Parmonic’s Sales Enablement page, marketing teams can build a single, sales-ready "briefcase" directly inside Parmonic.
- Marketing chooses which formats to offer
- Parmonic bundles everything into one interactive briefcase page
- That single link can be shared in Slack, Teams, your intranet, or email - and is publicly accessible for sales
Use Case #4: Find the Right Clip Without Watching The Entire Video
Sales reach out to multiple prospects in a day and watching lengthy video content to find a piece of content that answers prospects questions /address their pain point is not practical. That's where transcripts come in.
Transcripts turn long videos from something sellers avoid into something they can use in seconds.
That means a sales can:
- Scan the transcript
- Spot the exact line that answers a prospect’s question
- Grab and share the clip immediately
How This Fits Into the Sales Stack
Enablement only works when it shows up where sales already works.
Parmonic integrates directly with the leading Sales Enablement tools in the market:
- Seismic
- Salesloft
- Outreach
So content isn’t living somewhere new - it’s right inside existing workflows that Sales is familiar with.
When content is easy to grab and send, sales uses it. Marketing sees what’s working. And prospects get timely, relevant follow-ups instead of generic check-ins.
If your goal is to help sales move deals forward without creating more work, this is exactly what Parmonic’s Sales Enablement experience delivers.
