1. Start With a High-Converting Script

A great video starts with a great message. Before recording:

✔ Keep it short (30–90 seconds)

Shorter videos drive higher engagement and are easier for prospects to watch.

✔ Decide what action you want the recipient to take

This helps shape your narrative. Examples:

  • Book a meeting

  • Reply to your message

  • Claim a free consultation or offer

  • Visit a landing page or form

✔ Outline your script using a simple storyboard

Introduction

  • Introduce yourself

  • Briefly describe the problem you solve or the key value you offer

  • Decide whether the background will be:

    • Your contact’s website (Recommended)

    • Your website

    • A graphic or screenshot

Elevator Pitch

  • Share 2–3 reasons to believe (results, credibility, social proof).

  • This is your hook—keep it crisp and compelling.

  • Add supporting visual if they help (Clipio can insert an additional background (Pro Plan and above) after your intro to help get your pitch across.

Strong Call To Action

Tell them exactly what you want them to do—and make the decision easy by offering something irresistible (free report, free consultation, free proof of concept, demo, etc.).
