Hook experiments (A/B/C)
- Direct pain: “Your demo is 20 minutes too long.”
- Counter-intuition: “You don’t have a lead problem—follow-up problem.”
- Math reframing: “Too expensive? Let’s price the status quo.”
Winner: Math reframing (+33% hook retention vs. control).
| Clip | Format | First-3s retention | Avg watch-time | Saves |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| “Too expensive? Let’s price the status quo.” | Objection | 56% | 42s | 612 |
| “Stop copy/paste. Use this 1-click sync.” | Micro-demo | 49% | 39s | 410 |
| “We cut onboarding from 17→6 days.” | Proof | 47% | 41s | 352 |
| “The 3-slide demo that converts.” | POV | 45% | 38s | 298 |
| “We hire for slope, not intercept.” | Culture | 43% | 36s | 221 |

What we learned
1) The hook is the campaign
Math-based reframes outperformed generic POVs. We kept runtime 30–60s and front-loaded outcomes.
2) Objection > proof > POV (for this ICP)
Objection handlers opened the conversation; proof clips sealed credibility; POVs maintained cadence.
3) DM keywords simplify tracking
Keyword avatar in captions + UTMs tied inquiries to specific clips for fast feedback loops.
4) Founder time stayed low
~45–60 minutes per week: script approvals, quick reviews, light comment engagement.
FAQ
Is 1M views typical?
Results vary by niche, creative fit, and posting history. The repeatable part is the process—weekly cadence, hook iteration, and DM-tracked CTAs.
Did the founder record anything?
Only a one-time short demo to train the avatar. No ongoing shoots were required.
What about compliance/brand safety?
We use written consent, a “never say” list, claims checks, and data purge options on request.
