Module 7

Video scripts

Scripts for explainers, FAQ shorts, personal intros, case studies, and personalized Looms. The fastest way to build trust at scale.

Video is the highest-converting marketing asset an insurance agent can make. Prospects build trust with a face and voice dramatically faster than with text alone. But most agents freeze when the camera turns on because they don't have a script. This module fixes that.

Types of videos to make

The explainer script (60-90 seconds)

Explainer video script
Write a 60-90 second video script for me (licensed [line] agent in [state]).

Topic: [e.g., "How Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement actually differ"]

Format:
[0-5s] Hook, one sentence that earns the next 85 seconds
[5-15s] Set up the problem or question
[15-50s] The main content, 2-3 key points
[50-75s] What this means for the viewer
[75-90s] Soft CTA, "If you want to talk through your specific situation, link in bio / DM me / book a call"

Constraints:
- First-person, conversational, like I'm explaining to a friend
- Sentences short enough to say in one breath
- No insurance jargon without an instant plain-language translation
- Specific over general (use numbers, scenarios, named situations)
- Do NOT guarantee returns, quote specific rates, or compare competitors by name

Format the script with timestamps and any suggested B-roll or on-screen text in brackets.

FAQ shorts script

For Reels, TikTok, Shorts. Very tight. 30-60 seconds max.

FAQ short script (30-60s)
Give me 10 FAQ-style short video scripts.

Each script:
- 30-60 seconds (roughly 70-140 spoken words)
- Hook in first 3 seconds, just the question, posed as the viewer would ask it
- Answer in plain language
- One specific concrete example or number
- Close with "Follow for more / DM if this applies to you"

Topic pool: [your insurance line]
Example question styles:
- "Can I get life insurance if I have [condition]?"
- "What's the real difference between X and Y?"
- "How much [coverage] do I really need?"
- "What happens if I [common scenario]?"

Number them 1-10. Each should be fully shootable without needing edits.

Personal intro video

Every agent should have a 90-second "about me" video on their website and email signature. Here's the script.

Personal intro video
Write a 90-second personal intro video script for me.

My details (from context above): [name, lines, state, specialty, years, why I do this]

Structure:
[0-10s] Who I am, what I do (one sentence each)
[10-25s] The specific type of client I help best
[25-50s] Why I got into this, the moment, person, or reason that actually matters to me
[50-75s] How I work differently (the one or two things that separate me)
[75-90s] How to connect, specific next step

Tone: warm but not corny. Don't sound scripted. Contractions. Short sentences.

Do NOT include:
- "I am committed to providing..."
- "With years of experience..."
- Any phrase that sounds like a template
- Promises about specific outcomes or savings

Case study video

Case study video (2-3 min)
Write a 2-3 minute video script telling an anonymized client story.

Their situation (I'll fill in): [describe the client and the problem]

Structure:
[0-15s] Hook: the problem in one sentence
[15-45s] Who the client was (general description, no identifying details)
[45-90s] What they'd tried that wasn't working
[90-150s] What we figured out and how
[150-180s] The outcome (realistic, not hyperbolic)

Do NOT:
- Name the client
- Give identifying details (company, condition, specific amounts if sensitive)
- Promise similar results for everyone
- Include testimonial quotes unless I paste them in

Include: a disclaimer line at the end, "Every situation is different. If you want to talk through yours, [contact info]."

Loom for prospects, the highest-converting video you'll make

A personalized video for a specific prospect. Huge response rates. Not scripted word-for-word, but worth having a structure.

Personalized prospect Loom script
Give me a 5-bullet structure for a 90-second Loom video I'm sending to a specific prospect.

About the prospect:
- [Name, role, situation from LinkedIn or intake]
- [Trigger: why I'm reaching out now]
- [What I think they might need]

5-bullet structure:
1. Open with their name + one specific detail about their situation (5 seconds)
2. What I noticed that made me reach out (15 seconds)
3. The thing I think they might not have considered (30 seconds)
4. Not a pitch, an offer to be useful (20 seconds)
5. Specific next step (15 seconds, low-friction)

Also give me the 6-line email I'd send with the video embedded.

B-roll, captions, and on-screen text

Modern short-form video needs captions (80% of social video is watched muted). Claude can generate captions from your script.

Caption generator
Take the video script below. Format as captions for on-screen text.

Rules:
- Each caption chunk: 3-6 words, one per visible frame
- Punctuation sparingly
- Match the rhythm of spoken delivery
- Separate each chunk with "|"

[Paste your script]

The hardest part isn't the script

It's getting in front of the camera. Two tricks that help:
