How To Sell Your VR Project To The Masses? 🤑👥🔥 Often when creating a project, when it comes to promoting the project, a couple of things pop into your head: make a trailer and upload it to youtube, publish milestones, etc This all ties in with what you can find on youtube on how to promote a project, but what if you take a different route? What if your project is a business unit? Taking this idea further, it suggests where this business unit can be directed to bring in revenue (not just uploading the project to stores) And this all brings to mind that because your user isn't just the character who has a VR headset at home, it could also be someone who plays in VR arenas with friends on the weekends So another source of distribution could very well be such venues or even something else, and you in that role are selling your project that will bring money to that arena I think we need to think big and look for additional sources of promotion, not just stop at one thing.

Phew! 3 demanding C-level stakeholder meetings in one day! Luckily for me they are part of the virtual reality sales simulations that participants on a programme that I am a facilitator and coach for will be experiencing next week. They will engage in a series of immersive C-Level engagement simulations that are demanding and realistic. They are then coached on the decisions they made in the simulations and how the customer responded. They then apply these learnings to actual deals they are involved with. A global tech business has already seen some impressive results from this VR programme. By training experienced sellers on how to identify value in the eyes of the customer and winning deals to the full satisfaction of their client, deals have been taken from $1M to over $10M in value! PS Do you have any idea of how difficult it is to take a selfie with a VR headset on?!? 🙂 #virtualreality #VR #salestraining

Yes, I’m not surprised with the results of this study. Our VR nature series ‘ecosphere’ made it into nursing homes in Australia, with one lovely lady brought to tears at being back in the Savanna in Kenya where she’d travelled many times in her youth. Yes, VR can make us feel less isolated. BUT, as a creative merging regenerative thinking research, I’m interested in WHY we (and in this case particularly the elderly) feel isolated in the first place. (Social isolation can increase a person’s risk of dementia by up to 60%!) Tech can’t fix all our problems, yet more and more I’m seeing VR positioned as a tool for ‘escape’, which becomes more attractive as we further disconnect physically from each other and the world around us. I want to see more VR creatives and tech folks centering planetary health and societal wellbeing in their processes and business models so we’re not trying to create (and profit off) utopian scenarios fueled by dystopian realities. My grandma had Parkinson’s in her final years. She adored pandas and her dream was to go see them in China. She couldn’t, but I did, and then showed her footage of the babies playing in VR. She was overjoyed. But, she also had as much, or more joy, from my visits with her great grandkids, hearing them tell her about seeing the pandas in real life. Yes, VR has strong use cases. But at what costs to the planet and society? And what else can/should we be doing as creatives and innovators to critique systems that disconnect and isolate us in the first place? That’s not someone else’s job, we all have a responsibility 🙏🏼
