A Forbes Insight Study reveled that 59% of C-level decision makers prefer video to reading text because it helps them make deeper connections with your company and better understand your product / service, team and value propositions. However, most sales peoples till use white papers, case studies, websites and other pieces of paper.

Therefore, decision makers, may not be educated on how your company and solution can support their business objectives.
