Video-First Cold Outreach workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs When the user wants to build video-first cold outreach, create personalized video at scale, implement async selling, or use AI demo generation for prospecting. Also use when the user mentions 'video outreach,' 'personalized video,' 'video prospecting,' 'Tavus,' 'Sendspark,' 'HeyGen,' 'video email,' 'async selling,' 'video demo,' or 'made this for you.' This skill covers video-first outreach systems from personalization through conversion optimization. Do NOT use for technical implementation, code review, or software architecture and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

Overview
This public intake copy packages
packages/skills-catalog/skills/(gtm)/video-outreach from https://github.com/tech-leads-club/agent-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses
metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Video-First Cold Outreach You are an expert in video-first sales outreach, AI video personalization at scale, async selling, and interactive demo-led prospecting. You help founders, sales teams, and GTM operators build systems that use personalized video to cut through inbox noise and drive pipeline.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Before Starting, The "Made This For You" Framework, Personalized Video at Scale: The Tool Landscape, Interactive Demo Tools for Async Selling, Video in the Sales Sequence, Async Selling: Replacing Meetings with Video.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: When the user wants to build video-first cold outreach, create personalized video at scale, implement async selling, or use AI demo generation for prospecting. Also use when the user mentions 'video outreach,'....
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
- Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
- Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
- Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.
Operating Table
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
- Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
- Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
- Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
- Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
- Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
- Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
- Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.
Imported Workflow Notes
Imported: Before Starting
Ask about:
- Current outreach volume (videos per week/month)
- Target buyer persona and deal size (SMB vs mid-market vs enterprise)
- Existing tech stack (CRM, email sequencer, video tools)
- Whether the team records video today or is starting from scratch
- Primary goal: book meetings, accelerate deals, or replace live demos
- Budget range for video tooling ($0-50/mo, $50-200/mo, $200-500/mo, $500+/mo)
Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @video-outreach to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @video-outreach against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @video-outreach for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @video-outreach using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Imported Usage Notes
Imported: Examples
- User says: "Add video to our cold outreach" → Result: Agent asks volume and deal size, recommends tool tier (e.g. Sendspark or Tavus), outlines "Made This For You" flow (research → 30–60s video → CTA), and suggests where to place video in sequence (e.g. touch 2).
- User says: "We need personalized video at scale" → Result: Agent clarifies volume and language needs, suggests AI clone (Tavus/Potion) vs human (Sendspark), and provides checklist for script, thumbnail, and tracking.
- User says: "What’s the best video tool for our team?" → Result: Agent uses Quick Reference matrix (volume, use case, budget) to recommend one primary option and one fallback, with integration notes (sequencer, CRM).
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
- Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
- Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
- Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
- Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
- Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
- Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in
packages/skills-catalog/skills/(gtm)/video-outreach, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated
SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
Imported Troubleshooting Notes
Imported: Troubleshooting
- Low open/watch rate on video → Cause: Generic subject line or thumbnail. Fix: Subject line should reference the prospect (name, company, or clear personalization); thumbnail should show face or clear value.
- Videos feel impersonal → Cause: Script is templated or too long. Fix: First 5 seconds must name the prospect or their company and state one specific reason; keep video under 60 seconds.
- Tool doesn’t integrate with our stack → Cause: Sequencer or CRM lacks embed/link support. Fix: Use tool’s share link + track clicks; or use Loom/manual upload and paste link in email/DM.

Imported: The "Made This For You" Framework
The highest-converting cold outreach pattern in 2025-2026 is not a pitch video. It is a sample deliverable recorded on video. You research the prospect, create something useful with AI, then walk them through it on camera.
The Four-Step Process
Step 1: Research the prospect (5-10 minutes)
- Pull their website, LinkedIn profile, product page, and recent posts
- Identify one specific, visible problem you can solve
- Note their tech stack, team size, recent hires, funding rounds
- Screenshot the reference material you will show on screen
Step 2: Create a sample deliverable using AI (10-15 minutes)
- Build a mockup, audit, teardown, or mini-demo relevant to their business
- Examples by role:
- Marketing leader: Audit of their landing page with annotated suggestions
- Sales leader: Rebuilt cold email sequence based on their current messaging
- Engineering leader: Architecture diagram showing integration with their stack
- CEO/Founder: Competitive positioning map with their company placed on it
- Use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Figma AI) to produce the artifact fast
- The deliverable should be genuinely useful even if they never respond
Step 3: Record a 60-90 second walkthrough
- First 5 seconds: Say their name, their company, and one specific reference
- Next 15 seconds: Show the deliverable on screen and explain what you built
- Next 30-40 seconds: Walk through 2-3 key findings or recommendations
- Final 10 seconds: Soft CTA - "Happy to walk through the rest live if useful"
- Keep energy conversational, not performative
- Do NOT open with "Hey, hope you're doing well" or any generic filler
Step 4: Deliver via email + LinkedIn
- Email with video thumbnail/GIF (not an embedded player)
- Subject line references the deliverable: "[Name], built a [deliverable] for [Company]"
- LinkedIn message as a follow-up touch 24 hours later
- Track opens, clicks, and watch time to trigger follow-up
Scaling by Deal Size
+------------------+-------------------+---------------------+-------------------+ | Deal Size | Research Depth | Deliverable Type | Video Length | +------------------+-------------------+---------------------+-------------------+ | SMB (<$10K ACV) | 5 min | Template/checklist | 45-60 sec | | Mid-market | 10-15 min | Audit/teardown | 60-90 sec | | ($10K-50K ACV) | | | | | Enterprise | 20-30 min | Custom analysis/ | 90-120 sec | | ($50K+ ACV) | | POC mockup | | +------------------+-------------------+---------------------+-------------------+
At low volume (under 20/week), record each video individually. At higher volume:
- Batch-record the "body" of similar videos for a persona segment
- Use AI tools (Tavus, Sendspark) to personalize the first 5 seconds per prospect
- Create reusable deliverable templates that only need 2-3 fields swapped per prospect
- Build a library of common audit frameworks you can apply to any company

Imported: Video in the Sales Sequence
Different video types serve different purposes at each stage. Do not use the same format everywhere.
Sequence Architecture
Day 1: Cold outreach video (personalized 60-90 sec) + Email with GIF thumbnail + LinkedIn connection request (no pitch) Day 3: Follow-up email (text only, reference the video) "Did you get a chance to watch the [deliverable] I built?" Day 5: LinkedIn voice note or short video reply Reference a specific post or content they shared Day 8: Interactive demo link "Recorded a 3-min walkthrough of how [Product] works for [their use case]" Day 12: Value-add email (case study, data point, or insight) - no video, mix format Day 15: Breakup video (30 sec) "Wanted to close the loop - if timing isn't right, no worries"
Video Types by Stage
Cold outreach (Day 1) - Webcam + screen share showing their website/profile. 60-90 sec. Name, company, specific reference in first 5 seconds. Soft CTA. Tool: Tavus/Sendspark/Potion for scale, Loom for 1:1.
Post-connection (Day 5) - Webcam only, casual. 30-45 sec. Reference their recent content. Question, not a pitch. Tool: Loom or native LinkedIn video.
Pre-demo async replacement (Day 8) - Interactive demo with AI narration or screen recording. 2-4 min. Use case framed for their industry/role. Tool: Navattic/Supademo or Loom.
Post-demo recap - Screen share of key slides/features discussed. 3-5 min. Reference specific questions from the call. Tool: Loom.
Proposal walkthrough - Screen share of proposal document. 3-5 min. Reference ROI calculations specific to their business. Direct CTA. Tool: Loom with CTA button.
Breakup (Day 15) - Webcam only. 20-30 sec. Light personalization. Low-effort by design.
Imported: Async Selling: Replacing Meetings with Video
Hybrid selling is the standard in 2026. Buyers choose how they engage. Replace low-value synchronous meetings with async video, keep live calls for real-time conversations.
Replace with async video: qualification conversations, product overviews, feature walkthroughs, post-demo recaps, proposal presentations, internal champion enablement.
Keep as live meetings: discovery calls requiring probing questions, negotiation, executive relationship building, complex technical deep dives, contract/legal review.
Async Demo Structure (3-Minute Format)
[0:00 - 0:15] Personal greeting + why you are recording this for them [0:15 - 0:45] Problem statement framed around their specific situation [0:45 - 2:00] Product walkthrough: 2-3 features that solve their problem [2:00 - 2:30] Quick ROI proof point or customer reference [2:30 - 2:45] CTA: Calendar link to go deeper on the parts that matter [2:45 - 3:00] Sign-off
Watch Time as a Qualification Signal
+-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | Watch % | Signal | Follow-up Action | +-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | 0% (no open) | Missed it or not | Try different channel | | | interested | (LinkedIn, phone) | +-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | 1-25% | Mild curiosity | Text follow-up with key | | | | takeaway from the video | +-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | 25-75% | Engaged, did not | Shorter follow-up video | | | finish | covering what they missed | +-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | 75-100% | High interest | Call within 5 minutes if | | | | live; same-day email if not | +-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+ | Re-watched or | Very high intent | Priority follow-up - they | | shared internally | | are building a case | +-------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------+
Critical timing rule: If a prospect watches 75%+ of your video, call them within 5 minutes. Response rates drop dramatically after the first hour.
Enabling Internal Champions
When your contact needs to sell internally:
- Record a 2-minute executive summary they can forward to their boss
- Create an interactive demo (Navattic/Supademo) their team can explore independently
- Build a one-page ROI doc they can attach to budget requests
- Frame everything around THEIR goals, not your product features

Email Thumbnail Best Practices
Video thumbnails and GIFs in email boost open rates by 6-8%:
- Animated GIF showing first 3 seconds (your face + their name)
- Play button overlay on thumbnail
- Link to landing page, not direct video file
- Text fallback: "Can't see the video? Click here to watch"
- 600px wide, 16:9 aspect ratio
Teams using video weekly report 11.2% CTR vs 6.4% for monthly use. Consistency compounds.

Imported: Recording Best Practices
The 60-Second Cold Video Formula
[0:00 - 0:05] Hook: Their name + specific reference "Hey [Name], saw [Company] just [trigger event]" [0:05 - 0:15] Context: Why you are reaching out "We help [similar companies] solve [specific problem]" [0:15 - 0:45] Value: Show, do not tell Share your screen - show the deliverable, audit, or demo [0:45 - 0:55] Social proof: One sentence "[Similar company] saw [specific result] in [timeframe]" [0:55 - 1:00] CTA: Soft close "Worth a 15-minute chat? Link below"
Common Mistakes
- Opening with filler - "Hey, hope you're having a great week" wastes your best seconds. Lead with their name and a trigger.
- Making it about you - Start with their problem, not your company story.
- Going too long - Cold videos over 90 seconds see dramatic drop-off.
- Poor audio - Bad audio kills engagement faster than bad video. Use a decent mic.
- No clear CTA - Every video needs exactly one next step.
- Generic thumbnail - Show their name or company logo, not a static frame of you talking.
- Embedding video directly - Email clients block embeds. Use a GIF thumbnail linking to a landing page.
- Skipping follow-up - 48% of reps never send a second message. Build follow-up into the sequence.
Lighting and Framing
- Face the light source (window or ring light in front, not behind)
- Camera at eye level or slightly above
- Head and shoulders visible
- Clean background or subtle blur
- Look at the camera lens, not the screen, during key moments
- Test audio levels before the real take
