A professionally scripted video sales letter typically costs $10,000 to $15,000 from a copywriter. That price reflects the difficulty: you need to write 4,000+ words of persuasive content that holds attention for 20 minutes, educates without losing momentum, and closes without sounding desperate.
B2B makes this harder. Your audience manages real budgets. They have been pitched to hundreds of times. Hype makes them leave. Emotional manipulation makes them distrust you. The only thing that works is logic: showing them the math behind their problem and making the case that your solution is the rational next step.
This guide gives you two prompts that produce a complete VSL script in under an hour. The first prompt generates a strategic architecture, a section-by-section blueprint that maps the emotional and logical arc of the entire video. The second prompt writes the actual script, one section at a time, using a looping approach that maintains quality across all 4,000 words.
The looping approach is the critical piece. If you ask any AI model to write the entire script at once, the quality degrades. The model starts recycling phrases. The tone shifts. The closing section reads like it was written by a different person than the opening. Writing section by section, with the previous script passed back as context each time, forces the model to maintain consistency and depth throughout.
The finished script has nine sections: hook, authority, pain bridge, mechanism, proof, offer stack, risk reversal, scarcity/urgency, and close. Each section has a specific job in the persuasion sequence, and each builds on the section before it.
Understand the VSL format
A B2B video sales letter is a scripted video, typically 15 to 25 minutes, designed to pre-sell your offer before a prospect ever gets on a call with you. It works differently from a webinar or a YouTube tutorial.
It uses logic, not emotion. B2B buyers are responsible for a budget. They need to justify the purchase to someone above them. Your VSL needs to provide the logical framework they can use to make that case internally. This means building your argument on math, operational diagnostics, and provable outcomes rather than motivational language.
It functions as a diagnostic briefing. Think of the video as a technical whitepaper delivered verbally with supporting visuals on screen. The viewer should feel like they are receiving an expert analysis of their situation, not watching a sales pitch. The distinction matters because B2B buyers have pattern recognition for sales tactics and will exit the moment they feel manipulated.
It has nine sections. Each section serves a specific psychological function in the sales argument:
Grabs attention with a specific, quantified statement about the prospect's problem.
Establishes credibility through results, methodology, or client outcomes.
Maps the prospect's current situation and the cost of staying there.
Explains how your solution works, step by step.
Shows evidence that your mechanism delivers results.
Presents what the prospect gets, framed as assets rather than activities.
Removes the prospect's remaining objections with a guarantee or risk-sharing structure.
Creates a reason to act now using real constraints.
Delivers a clear, single call to action.
The first prompt in this guide generates a detailed blueprint for all nine sections, customized to your specific audience, offer, and lead magnet. The second prompt writes the word-for-word script for each section, one at a time.
Prepare your inputs
You need three documents ready before running the first prompt. Each one was produced in an earlier guide in this system.
Your [ICP_MEMO]
The audience analysis from Forensic AI Research. This tells the AI who your buyer is, what they care about, what language they use, and what objections they carry. Without this, the VSL will speak to a generic audience and fail to land.
Your [OFFER_MEMO]
The offer document from Create Your B2B Offer with AI. This gives the AI your one-liner, your mechanism, your deliverables framed as assets, your guarantee, and your exclusion criteria. The VSL needs all of this to build its argument toward the close.
Your [LEAD_MAGNET]
The guide or resource from AI Ghostwriter Loop. This provides context about the educational content your audience has already consumed. The VSL references the methodology introduced in the lead magnet and extends it, which creates continuity for prospects who found you through the guide first.
Why each input matters
The ICP memo ensures the hook and pain bridge use the exact language your audience uses to describe their problem. Without it, the script will rely on generic pain points that do not resonate.
The offer memo ensures the mechanism, proof, and offer stack sections present your solution accurately. Without it, the AI will invent deliverables or make claims you cannot back up.
The lead magnet provides the conceptual foundation the VSL builds on. If your lead magnet teaches a 5-step framework, the VSL can reference that framework and position your service as the done-for-you implementation of those steps. This creates a smooth experience for prospects who move from reading your guide to watching your video.
Model recommendation
Gemini is recommended for this guide. It handles the long context windows well and produces natural-sounding spoken language, which matters because this is a script you will read aloud. Claude is a strong alternative, especially for the section writer loop where maintaining consistency across multiple runs is critical. ChatGPT works as a fallback.
Use the same model for both prompts and run them in the same chat session. The model needs the accumulated context from Prompt 1 to write effective sections in Prompt 2.
Run the VSL architecture prompt
Copy the prompt below, replace the three input sections with your documents, and paste it into your AI model. This produces the strategic blueprint for all nine sections of your script.
The output is not the script itself. It is the plan: target duration, key message, emotional arc, visual element suggestions, and the key script beats for each of the nine sections. Review this blueprint carefully before moving to Prompt 2. If the architecture is wrong, every section you write afterward will be off.
The B2B VSL Architect
Prompt 1Works with Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT
# Role: The B2B Logic Architect You are the B2B Logic Architect, the author of the proprietary "B2B Protocol" and "B2B Sales Psychology" frameworks. Your role is NOT to be a creative copywriter. You are a diagnostic strategist. You do not use hype, emotional fluff, or "marketing speak." You use engineering logic, operational diagnostics, and mathematical inevitability to dismantle a prospect's current worldview and replace it with a new one. # Core directive Your objective is to ingest the User Inputs and construct the Strategic Architecture for a 20-25 minute B2B Video Sales Letter (VSL). This VSL is a "Strategic Briefing." It functions as a diagnostic audit delivered on video. Every section must be built on logic, data, and operational proof. The cost of failure here is building a video that sounds like a sales pitch, which B2B buyers will immediately reject. # Inputs [TARGET_AUDIENCE]: Paste your ICP memo here [OFFER]: Paste your offer memo here [LEAD_MAGNET]: Paste your lead magnet or a summary of its core methodology here # Output structure Produce a detailed strategic blueprint with the following for EACH of the 9 sections: ## Section [number]: [Section name] 1. **Target duration:** [time range] 2. **Key message:** [one sentence summary of what this section must accomplish] 3. **Emotional arc:** [the emotional state the viewer enters with -> the state they should leave with] 4. **Visual elements:** [what should appear on screen during this section: slides, data, diagrams, face-to-camera, screen recordings] 5. **Key script beats:** [3-5 bullet points describing the specific arguments, stories, or data points this section must contain] 6. **Transition to next section:** [how this section hands off to the next one] # The 9 sections to architect 1. Hook (60-90 seconds): Open with a specific, quantified problem statement. No generic openings. Lead with the math behind the pain. 2. Authority (60-90 seconds): Establish credibility through specific results, named methodologies, or client outcomes. No vague claims. 3. Pain bridge (2-3 minutes): Map the prospect's current situation in detail. Show the operational and financial cost of the status quo. Use their language from the ICP memo. 4. Mechanism (3-4 minutes): Explain how your solution works step by step. Use the framework from the lead magnet. Make it feel like a technical walkthrough, not a sales pitch. 5. Proof (2-3 minutes): Present evidence. Case studies, metrics, before/after comparisons. If specific case studies are not available, flag the section as "[INSERT REAL CASE STUDY]" and provide the structure for what should go there. 6. Offer stack (2-3 minutes): Present each deliverable as an asset the client receives, not an activity you perform. Reference the value stack from the offer memo. 7. Risk reversal (1-2 minutes): Address the prospect's remaining objections. Present your guarantee. Use the guarantee structure from the offer memo. 8. Scarcity/urgency (1-2 minutes): Create a reason to act now. Use real constraints (capacity limits, calendar availability, cohort deadlines), never artificial pressure. 9. Close (1-2 minutes): Single clear call to action. Tell them exactly what happens when they click. Describe the next step after booking. # Quality gate Before delivering the blueprint, verify: - [ ] Every section has all 6 elements (duration, message, arc, visuals, beats, transition) - [ ] The hook uses a specific number or data point, not a generic opening - [ ] The mechanism references the lead magnet methodology - [ ] The offer stack frames deliverables as assets (from the offer memo) - [ ] Case study sections are flagged for real data if none is available - [ ] No section uses hype language, emotional manipulation, or vague claims - [ ] The emotional arc across all 9 sections follows: Attention -> Trust -> Pain awareness -> Understanding -> Belief -> Desire -> Confidence -> Urgency -> Action
Reading your output
You should receive a blueprint with all nine sections mapped. Before moving to Prompt 2, check these things:
Does the hook reference a specific, quantified problem from your ICP memo? If it opens with something generic like "Are you struggling to grow your business?", tell the model to rewrite using specific numbers from your research.
Does the mechanism section reference the framework from your lead magnet? The VSL should feel like a logical extension of the guide, not a disconnected pitch.
Are case study sections flagged with [INSERT REAL CASE STUDY] placeholders? You will need to fill these with your actual client results later. The AI cannot know your real case studies.
Does the offer stack match your actual deliverables? Compare it against your offer memo. The AI sometimes invents additional services or reframes deliverables in ways that do not match what you actually sell.
Editing the blueprint
If any section is off, tell the model to adjust it. You can say: "Rewrite the mechanism section to focus more on [specific framework from your guide]" or "The hook needs to lead with the [specific stat] from the ICP memo." Get the blueprint right before writing the script. It is much harder to fix structural problems after 4,000 words have been written.
Run the section writer prompt (loop 9 times)
This is where the actual script gets written. You run this prompt once for each section of the blueprint, passing the previous script as context each time.
This loop approach is the reason the output quality stays high across 4,000+ words.
This prompt contains an embedded knowledge base
The prompt below includes the complete B2B Protocol and B2B Sales Psychology frameworks (approximately 80KB of content). This knowledge base is what gives the prompt its power to produce expert-level VSL scripts. When copying, ensure the entire prompt block is pasted in complete. Do not truncate it.
How the loop works
For the first section (Hook), set "current section abstract" to the Hook blueprint and "previously written script" to "None."
Run the prompt. Copy the script output.
For the second section (Authority), set "current section abstract" to the Authority blueprint and "previously written script" to the Hook script you just received.
Run the prompt again. Copy both sections into your document.
Repeat for all nine sections, always updating both fields.
By the ninth section, the model has the full context of everything written before it. This is what creates natural transitions and a consistent voice throughout the script.
The VSL Section Writer
Prompt 2Works with Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT
Day 11: ROLE AND OBJECTIVE You are the Author of the "B2B Protocol" and "B2B Sales Psychology" Knowledge Base. You are not merely a scriptwriter; you are the architect of the methodology itself. You possess deep, granular knowledge of every psychological trigger, logic ladder, and status framework contained in the attached documents. Your objective is to apply your own methodology to write the High-Fidelity Word-for-Word Script for ONE specific section of the VSL. You must ensure that every sentence you write is a practical application of the principles you authored. INPUTS 1. Current Section Abstract: (The specific Goal, Argument, and Visual Plan for the section you are writing now) [INSERT HERE] 2. Previously Written Script: (The context needed to maintain flow. Type "NONE" if this is the first section) [INSERT HERE] --- EXECUTION PROTOCOL (INTERNAL CHAIN OF THOUGHT) Before you write the script, you must think through the precise psychological and logical sequence for this section. The script is not a rough draft. It is the final deliverable. Every sentence is load-bearing. Here is how you think about it: 1. ANCHOR TO THE PREVIOUS SECTION. Your opening line must feel like a natural continuation of the previous section's closing. The prospect should not feel a jarring transition. They should feel like you are drilling deeper into the same point. (Exception: The Hook has no previous section, so it must open with a specific, quantified problem statement that grabs immediate attention.) 2. IDENTIFY THE CORE BELIEF YOU ARE INSTALLING. Every section of the VSL is built on the installation of a specific belief. What is the single belief this section must install in the prospect's mind? Write it down as a complete sentence. For example: - Hook: "Our problem is quantifiable and specific to our situation" - Authority: "This person/team has solved this exact problem before" - Pain Bridge: "The status quo is costing us more than we realize" - Mechanism: "There is a logical, step-by-step system that solves this" - Proof: "This system produces measurable results in our context" - Offer Stack: "We are receiving specific, valuable assets as part of this engagement" - Risk Reversal: "We have removed the financial and operational risk from our decision" - Scarcity/Urgency: "If we delay, we lose specific value" - Close: "The logical next step is to book a call" If you cannot articulate the belief you are installing, the section will be unfocused. 3. IDENTIFY THE LOGIC LADDER FOR THIS SECTION. The logic ladder is the step-by-step reasoning that leads the prospect from their current belief to the new belief. For example, if you are installing the belief "There is a logical, step-by-step system that solves this," your logic ladder might be: - Step 1: The problem requires a specific kind of thinking to solve - Step 2: That thinking can be systematized - Step 3: Here is the system, step by step - Step 4: The system is proprietary to us - Step 5: Therefore, using our system is the necessary next step Map out the ladder before you write a single sentence of script. 4. ASSIGN EVIDENCE TO EACH RUNG OF THE LADDER. For each step in your logic ladder, ask: "What evidence supports this step?" The evidence could be: - A data point or statistic - A published study - A named methodology - A client case study - An operational detail - A real constraint or requirement of the market - A comparison to the status quo Do not move on to the next section until you have evidence for every rung of your ladder. Vague assertions will destroy the section. 5. STRUCTURE THE SECTION USING THE OPENING, BODY, CLOSING FRAMEWORK. Every section has three parts: - OPENING: Connect to the previous section. State the core belief you are installing. Make it specific and immediate. - BODY: Walk through the logic ladder, rung by rung. Provide evidence for each rung. Use concrete examples, not abstract concepts. - CLOSING: Summarize the belief you installed. Create a natural transition to the next section by posing a question or stating a logical next step. 6. CHOOSE YOUR WORDS FOR MAXIMUM CLARITY. You are writing spoken word, not written word. This means: - Use short sentences for emphasis. (This is the section where everything changes.) - Use longer sentences for explanation. (If you are trying to scale a business using email, you have to solve three problems: deliverability, which is blocked by ISP reputation constraints, engagement, which requires audience segmentation, and conversion, which requires landing page testing.) - Vary the rhythm so it doesn't feel like a monotone list. - Use contractions. (You can, you are, we've, you'll) not formal language (You may, you shall). - Use pronouns consistently. (We, you, they, our) not abstract nouns. (The client, the business, the solution) - Remove every phrase that you would not say out loud. (As we discussed earlier, as noted above, per the ICP memo) These phrases break the spoken word. - Use active voice. (We install the plugin) not passive voice. (The plugin is installed). - Cut filler words. (Basically, essentially, actually, really, just, quite, very) These are speech habits, not persuasion. - Use specific nouns instead of vague ones. (Our server-side tracking system) instead of (our solution). (Your CAC is sitting at $120) instead of (your metrics are high). 7. INCLUDE VISUAL CUE INSTRUCTIONS IN BRACKETS. Wherever the prospect should see something on screen (a slide, a diagram, a data point, a screenshot, a graphic, your face), insert an instruction in [BRACKETS]. For example: - [SHOW: A side-by-side comparison of CAC by channel] - [SCREEN RECORD: Your Zapier workflow from lead capture to email send] - [FACE TO CAMERA: Slow down your pace. Hold the eye contact. Let this land.] - [GRAPHIC: A 4-step diagram labeled "The GrowthOS"] Do not leave the viewer staring at a static image for more than 30 seconds without a visual change. Use these brackets to tell the editor/videographer exactly what to show. 8. MAINTAIN THE BRAND VOICE FROM THE LEAD MAGNET. The prospect has already consumed your lead magnet (the guide or resource). They are familiar with your voice, your terminology, and your way of thinking. This VSL must feel like a natural continuation of that guide, not a jarring shift to sales mode. Use the same terminology. Reference the concepts they learned. Position the VSL as "Here is how we implement the system you learned about in the guide." 9. NEVER USE HYPE LANGUAGE, EVER. No "revolutionary." No "game-changing." No "you won't believe." No "secret." No "the only people who know about this." No exclamation points except in visual cues. The logic and data should carry the entire argument. If your argument requires hype to land, the argument is not strong enough. 10. IF YOU ARE MISSING REAL DATA, FLAG IT. If the section blueprint calls for a case study and you were not given a real client example, write the section with a clear placeholder: [INSERT: Your specific case study here. Include: client industry, starting metric, ending metric, timeframe, and specific result.] Do not fabricate numbers. Do not invent client names. Placeholders are better than lies. The client/user will fill in the real data later. 11. MEET THE WORD COUNT TARGET. Spoken word runs at roughly 150 words per minute. The blueprint specified a target duration for this section. Calculate the target word count. Write to that target. If the blueprint says "2-3 minutes," target 300-450 words. If it says "1-2 minutes," target 150-300 words. Count your words before you deliver. THE WRITING PROCESS Now that you have thought through the execution protocol, here is the actual writing process: STEP 1: WRITE THE OPENING (1-2 sentences) Your opening must do two things: 1. Connect to the previous section (except for the Hook) 2. State the core belief you are installing in the prospect's mind Example (following a Pain Bridge section about the cost of manual email management): "Now I could tell you that you need better software. But that would miss the real issue. The problem is not your tools. The problem is that you are trying to scale using a process that mathematically cannot scale. You need a different architecture." Example (Hook opening, no prior section): "There's a specific number that determines whether a software company will hit their growth targets or plateau. That number is your pipeline conversion rate, and for 73% of B2B companies, it's stuck between 1 and 3%." Do not waste words on pleasantries, transitions, or filler. Get to the point immediately. The opening is 1-2 sentences. No more. STEP 2: WRITE THE BODY (the logic ladder, with evidence) For each rung of your logic ladder, ask yourself: "What is the single point I'm making on this rung?" "What evidence supports this point?" "How would I explain this point to a smart peer who is unfamiliar with my specific context?" Then write 2-4 sentences for that rung. Make each rung its own paragraph. Use data when you have it. Use comparison when you don't. Use operational detail to make it real. STEP 3: WRITE THE CLOSING (2-3 sentences) Your closing must do two things: 1. Summarize the belief you just installed (restate it in different words) 2. Create a transition to the next section (except for the final Close section) The transition can be: - A logical consequence: "If the problem is not your tools, then the question becomes: what is the right architecture?" - A posed question: "Now that you understand how server-side tracking works, how do you actually implement it without breaking your existing workflow?" - A forward assertion: "This is exactly what we do for clients, and here is how the process works." Do not recap what you already said. Do not use vague language like "Let's move on." Transition directly into the logic of the next section. STEP 4: READ IT ALOUD Before you deliver the section, read it aloud. Listen for: - Sentences that feel clunky or awkward when spoken (rewrite them) - Words you would not use in conversation (replace them) - Moments where the logic ladder feels jumpy or missing a rung (add a transition sentence) - Places where the pace drags (cut words) - Phrases that sound like marketing (cut them) If you would not say a sentence out loud in a conversation with a peer, the sentence does not belong in this script. STEP 5: COUNT YOUR WORDS Count the words in the section. Verify it matches the target duration at 150 words per minute. If you are 10% over or under, adjust. Trim the fluff or add evidence as needed. KNOWLEDGE BASE: B2B PROTOCOL AND B2B SALES PSYCHOLOGY The following knowledge base is the core of your ability to write exceptional VSL scripts. Every principle, every strategy, every framework mentioned in this base should be present in your script-writing. You are not merely following a checklist. You are applying the methodology. You must be able to reference these principles by name and integrate them naturally into your script. FOUNDATIONAL BELIEF SYSTEM The Goal of B2B Persuasion The only goal of B2B persuasion is to move a prospect through a specific belief sequence. You are not trying to convince them to like you. You are not trying to entertain them. You are not trying to make them feel something. You are trying to move them through a series of logical beliefs, each one supported by evidence, until the natural conclusion is: "I should book a call with this person." The belief sequence is: 1. This person understands my specific problem (not a generic version of it) 2. This person has solved this problem before 3. The approach they use is logical and systematic 4. The approach has produced results in my context (not a theoretical result, but a real one) 5. I cannot produce this result on my own using my current approach 6. The risk of working with them is lower than the cost of not working with them 7. Now is the right time to decide When you are writing a VSL section, you are always working on one of these beliefs. You know which one. And you know exactly what evidence supports it. The ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) and the Target Belief Every VSL is built for a specific ICP. You have been given the ICP memo. The ICP memo tells you: - Who the buyer is (title, function, industry, company size) - What problems they are responsible for - What success looks like to them - What the cost of failure is in their world - What language they use to describe their problems - What objections they carry - What proof would move them The reason you have the ICP memo is so you can identify which belief in the sequence they are stuck on. The Emotional Arc of Persuasion B2B persuasion has a specific emotional arc. This is not manipulation. This is the natural arc of any prospect moving from skepticism to belief: 1. Attention (curiosity) 2. Trust (evidence of competence) 3. Pain awareness (this is costing me more than I thought) 4. Understanding (there is a logical way to solve this) 5. Belief (the mechanism will produce the result) 6. Desire (I want the outcome this mechanism produces) 7. Confidence (I can afford this and I will not regret it) 8. Urgency (I should act now, not later) 9. Action (I will book the call) The Status Framework Every prospect exists in one of four status states: STATUS 1: PROBLEM UNCLEAR. The prospect does not have a clear, quantified understanding of their problem. STATUS 2: PROBLEM CLEAR, SOLUTION UNCLEAR. The prospect understands the problem, but they do not know how to solve it. STATUS 3: PROBLEM AND SOLUTION CLEAR, EXECUTION UNCLEAR. The prospect understands the problem and the general direction, but not the execution. STATUS 4: EVERYTHING CLEAR, CONFIDENCE UNCLEAR. The prospect understands the problem, the solution, and the execution path, but lacks confidence. Every section of the VSL moves the prospect from one status to a higher status: - Hook: STATUS 1 to STATUS 2 - Authority: STATUS 2 to beginning of STATUS 3 - Pain Bridge: STATUS 2 to STATUS 3 - Mechanism: STATUS 3 to STATUS 4 - Proof: STATUS 4 to higher STATUS 4 - Offer Stack: STATUS 4 (building confidence) - Risk Reversal: STATUS 4 to movement toward Status 5 (ready to act) - Scarcity/Urgency: STATUS 4 with confidence to Status 5 - Close: STATUS 5 to Action LOGIC LADDERS: THE CORE PERSUASION STRUCTURE A logic ladder is a step-by-step sequence of reasoning that moves a prospect from a starting belief to a new belief. Every B2B persuasion moment is a logic ladder. Example Logic Ladder (from the Mechanism section of a SaaS offer targeting email warmup): Starting Belief: "Email warmup is just a nice-to-have tactic that might help a little." Ending Belief: "Email warmup is a technical infrastructure requirement that must be solved before I can scale my outreach." Rung 1: Email deliverability is governed by ISP reputation systems. Rung 2: ISP reputation systems evaluate four signals: SPF/DKIM/DMARC compliance, bounce rate, unsubscribe rate, and complaint rate. Rung 3: If these signals are weak, emails do not reach the inbox. Rung 4: If emails reach the spam folder, your outreach fails no matter how good your copy is. Rung 5: ISP systems treat new IP addresses as high-risk. Rung 6: Warming an IP address means gradually increasing send volume so that ISPs accumulate positive signal data. Rung 7: Attempting to scale outreach on an unwarmed IP is mathematically impossible. Rung 8: Therefore, email warmup is not a "tactic." It is an infrastructure prerequisite. Each rung is a single logical assertion supported by evidence. PERSUASION FRAMEWORKS REFERENCED IN SECTIONS The Old Vehicle, The New Vehicle: Installing the Belief That Your Solution Is Necessary This framework is used most often in the Mechanism section. THE OLD VEHICLE IS BROKEN Step 1: Name the old vehicle by its specific operational name. Step 2: Identify the market condition that broke the old vehicle. Step 3: Prove that the old vehicle is broken by showing the operational cost. Step 4: Reframe the failure as circumstance, not incompetence. Defining the "New Vehicle" Once you have totaled their old car, you must park your new one in the driveway. The New Vehicle is your proprietary mechanism. Frame it as the only operational way to get the result. The binary choice Remove the middle ground. Collapse three options into two: The Old Vehicle (Failure) and The New Vehicle (Success). The "Do It Yourself" objection Attack the belief that they can build the vehicle themselves. Use the logic of opportunity cost. The sunk cost trap Reframe the "waste" of past investments. Force them to look at the future cost, not the past expense. Exclusivity of the mechanism Tie the vehicle to your specific intellectual property. Even minor technical differences should be amplified. The logical inevitability Prove that the result is a function of the vehicle, not the operator. This reassures the prospect they do not need to change their personality, just their system. Summary of the belief The Old Vehicle is broken due to market changes. The prospect is not at fault for using it, but they are at fault if they keep using it now. The New Vehicle is the only mechanism aligned with the current market. The New Vehicle is proprietary to you. Switching vehicles is the only variable that matters. Effort is irrelevant without the right machine.
Assembling your script
As you complete each section, paste the output into a single document in order. After all nine sections are written, you should have approximately 3,000 to 4,500 words of script.
The 9-section loop
Run through these in order. Do not skip sections or change the sequence. The emotional and logical arc depends on each section building on the previous one.
Hook → Authority → Pain bridge → Mechanism → Proof → Offer stack → Risk reversal → Scarcity/urgency → Close
Each run takes 1-3 minutes depending on the section length. The full loop typically finishes in 15-25 minutes.
What to edit manually
After the loop is complete, read the full script and fix these common issues:
Case studies. The AI will often invent client names, revenue numbers, or timelines. Replace every [INSERT] placeholder with real data from your business. If you do not have a relevant case study for a section, rewrite it as a hypothetical scenario with honest framing: "Here is what this looks like in practice" rather than fabricating a specific client story.
Transitions. The section writer handles transitions well because it has the previous script as context, but occasionally a transition between sections will repeat a phrase or feel abrupt. Smooth these manually.
Your voice. Read the script out loud. Circle any phrase that does not sound like something you would actually say. Replace it with your natural phrasing. The script should sound like you at your most articulate, not like a different person.
Numbers. Scan for any statistics or percentages the AI generated. Verify every number. Delete any fabricated data points.
Record and place
Your script is complete. Now record and deploy.
Recording the script
Two approaches work:
The teleprompter method
Use an app like PromptSmart or a browser-based teleprompter. Load one section at a time. Record yourself speaking through the script with supporting visuals on screen. PromptSmart uses voice recognition to scroll automatically, which means you can maintain a natural pace without manually advancing the text.
The bullet point method
If you cannot read from a script without sounding stiff, convert each section into 5-7 bullet points and speak naturally from those. You will lose some of the precise phrasing, but you will gain naturalness. This works well for founders who are comfortable speaking but not reading.
For visuals, use Screen Studio, Loom, or any screen recording tool. Show slides, data, diagrams, or your face on camera. The visual elements suggested in the Prompt 1 blueprint give you a starting point for what to show during each section.
Record section by section. Take breaks between sections. This keeps your energy consistent and makes editing simpler. The final video should feel like one continuous presentation, but recording it in pieces gives you the flexibility to redo any section that does not land.
Where to place the VSL
On your booking page
Embed the video above or beside your calendar embed. Prospects who watch even part of the video before booking will arrive on the call with a significantly higher understanding of your offer. This cuts your call time and increases your close rate because the VSL has already done the educational and persuasion work.
In your nurture sequence
Every email you send (from the Evergreen Email Architect system) and every resource page on your site can include a link: "Want to see how we do this for clients? Watch the walkthrough." Hot leads from your lead scoring system can receive the VSL link directly as part of the outreach sequence.
The VSL also works as a pre-call asset. When a prospect books through your calendar, send them the video link in the confirmation email: "Before we meet, watch this 20-minute briefing. It covers the strategy we will discuss on our call." This turns the dead time between booking and meeting into active selling time.
Red flags in your output
Watch for these problems after running the prompts:
Generic hook. If the opening line could apply to any industry or any offer, the ICP memo was too vague. Go back and add more specific data points about your audience's pain, then rerun Prompt 1.
Invented case studies. The AI will fabricate client stories if you do not provide real ones. Every name, number, and timeline in the proof section must come from your actual business. Use placeholders rather than fake examples.
Hype creep. Even with the anti-hype instructions in the prompts, models sometimes drift toward marketing language by the seventh or eighth section. If you notice phrases like "revolutionary approach" or "game-changing results" appearing, tell the model to rewrite the section using only factual language.
Flat mechanism section. If the mechanism section reads like a feature list rather than a step-by-step walkthrough, the lead magnet input was too thin. Add more detail about your methodology and rerun that section.
How to adapt this
If you sell multiple services
Create one VSL per core offer. Each VSL should focus on a single problem-solution pair. Trying to cover multiple services in one video dilutes the argument and confuses the viewer about what to do next.
If you do not have case studies yet
Use the hypothetical framework approach: "Here is what this process looks like for a typical [industry] company with [specific situation]." Walk through the mechanism with realistic numbers based on your methodology. Be honest that it is a projection, not a past result. Authenticity builds more trust than a fabricated success story.
If your sales cycle is longer than 30 days
Consider creating a shorter version (8-10 minutes) that covers only the hook, mechanism, and offer stack. Use this as the "quick version" for ads and cold outreach. Reserve the full 20-minute version for warm leads who have already consumed your other content.
