Proposify reports that adding video to proposals can increase closing rates by 41% and that proposals featuring video can close 26% faster than proposals without video.
If you sell into tech, science, and innovation-led markets - where buyers are weighing delivery risk as much as product capability - that kind of lift is hard to ignore.
Not just because video is “more engaging.”
Because it makes your proposal feel clearer, safer, and more real.
Gartner found 61% of B2B buyers prefer an overall rep-free buying experience, and 73% actively avoid suppliers who send irrelevant outreach.
Translation: a growing share of the decision is being made through self-directed evaluation - and if your proposal or outreach looks generic, you are not just ignored, you are actively filtered out.
So the real question becomes:
Can your buyer understand why you’re the safe, credible choice - quickly - without needing another call?
A strong proposal is rarely “missing information.” It is usually missing confidence.
Video helps because it compresses the things buyers need most when stakes are high:
1) It accelerates trust
Your buyer gets tone, clarity, competence, and intent in seconds. In complex deals, that emotional signal matters as much as the spreadsheet.
2) It makes relevance obvious faster
LinkedIn research (reported by Marketing Week) found that nearly two-thirds of B2B tech buyers say short-form social video helps inform buying decisions.
Even when you are not publishing “social content,” the behaviour is the same - buyers want fast, high-signal understanding.
3) It improves comprehension and action
Wyzowl’s long-running video survey data shows 96% of people say they have watched an explainer video to learn more about a product or service, and 85% say they have been convinced to buy a product or service after watching a video.
So video works because it matches how people actually learn and decide.
Most companies try one of these:
• A generic company video that lives on the website
• One-off webcam videos with inconsistent messaging
• Random clips that sound nice but do not prove anything
It turns into random acts of content. It does not compound. And it rarely maps to the moments where deals are won or lost.
That is why we built The Deal Catalyst System.
A repeatable workflow that turns your existing expertise and evidence into modular deal-moving videos you can deploy across:
• bids and proposals
• follow-up sequences
• sector-specific outreach
• renewals and expansions
It is not “more content.” It is conversion infrastructure.
And because it is built from your real source materials - leadership conversations, case studies, annual report sections, brochures, existing videos - every proof point stays grounded in what you can actually stand behind.
You end up with a library of short video modules that answer the questions buyers actually need answered:
• “Do you understand our world?”
• “What happens if we choose you - week one, week four, month three?”
• “Who is responsible day-to-day?”
• “What proof do you have that this will work here?”
• “What are the next steps - and what do you need from us?”
These modules can be stitched into:
• a 2 to 3 minute proposal video
• a set of stakeholder-specific follow-up clips
• targeted outreach videos tailored to a sector or account
Same system. Different assembly.
1) Capture the signal
We record a single high-signal session with the right people (CEO, CTO, delivery lead).
We also collect the evidence you already have: proposals, case studies, annual report sections, brochures, and existing videos.
2) Liquify it into reusable deal assets
We extract and organise:
• proof points and metrics (with source references)
• story beats and differentiators
• delivery approach explanations
• day-to-day liaison messages
• archive clips worth reusing (when available)
This becomes a structured internal library - so you stop reinventing the wheel every time you target a new deal or sector.
3) Assemble and deploy
We produce modular videos in the formats that move deals:
• proposal and bid modules
• sector-specific relevance modules for outreach
• proof beats with typography for stats, citations, and essential visual aids
Delivered in the ratios you need for modern distribution.
You are often selling something that is not easy to evaluate from a brochure:
• complex products
• long-term partnerships
• regulated environments
• high switching costs
• implementation risk
In these markets, the winner is frequently the supplier who makes the buyer feel:
“This team gets it, will deliver, and we can trust them.”
The Deal Catalyst System is built to manufacture that confidence - using your real expertise and proof.
