Video can be a very powerful tool for getting new people into your sales funnel. In fact, many people discover new companies simply though a Google search when a video shows as a top result. Unfortunately, video content isn’t always taken seriously.  Frequently, companies choose to focus on internal content more suitable for employee recruitment, than customer acquisition.
