# Warm-Up Video Strategy for Outbound Leads

## Overview

Cold outbound leads lack the built-in trust that referral or inbound leads carry — they haven't heard of your company before the LinkedIn outreach that prompted them to book. A **warm-up video** bridges that gap by delivering a structured company introduction and education experience immediately after a prospect books a call, before they ever speak with a salesperson.

The video is triggered post-booking: once a prospect schedules, they are redirected to the video as part of the confirmation flow.

## Purpose

- Establish credibility and familiarity before the sales call
- Reduce no-shows by increasing prospect investment in the meeting
- Shorten trust-building time on the call itself
- Surface case studies and social proof passively, without sales pressure

## Recommended Content Structure

Pema recommends a **six-pillar script outline** for the video:

1. Company introduction — who you are and what you do
2. Problem framing — the pain the prospect likely has
3. Your approach / methodology
4. Case studies — concrete client outcomes
5. Testimonials — social proof from real clients
6. What to expect on the call — set the agenda and reduce friction

The video should be educational in tone, not promotional. Prospects should feel informed, not sold to, by the end.

## Production Options

| Option | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| In-house | Client creates video using their own resources and Pema's script | No additional fee |
| Outsourced to Pema | Pema creates slides and edits the final video | Additional fee applies |

Marketing agencies and companies with existing video production resources are well-suited to produce this in-house. Pema provides the script outline and examples from previous clients to guide production regardless of which path is chosen.

## Integration with Booking Flow

The warm-up video is paired with other pre-call touch points managed by Pema's sales assistants:

- **Text and email confirmations** sent before the call to humanize the interaction
- **Manual confirmation outreach** to boost show rates

Together, these touch points help push show rates from the cold-outreach baseline of **60–70%** toward Pema's internal benchmark of **80–90%**.

## Evidence

During the [[wiki/clients/asymmetric/_index|Asymmetric]] / [[wiki/vendors/pema/_index|Pema]] engagement kickoff, Pema recommended the warm-up video as a standard component of their outbound process. Asymmetric elected to produce the video in-house, with Pema supplying the script and example videos from prior clients.
