THE THREE CONVERSION KILLERS THIS CATCHES
- The feature dump: a long walkthrough of every button that buries the value.
- One-size-fits-none: one video aimed at everyone, connecting with no one.
- The soulless screen recording: no human presence, so viewers check out.

PART 1. BEFORE YOU HIT RECORD
[ ] 1. One audience, hyper-specific. Not "marketers." Think "B2B content
       marketers at midsized tech companies."
[ ] 2. One problem this video solves for them. Not "improving productivity."
       Think "eliminating the bottleneck of creative approvals."
[ ] 3. The 80/20 cut is made. The 20% of features that deliver 80% of the
       value for that one customer. Everything else is out.
[ ] 4. Every feature framed as an outcome. A feature is what your product
       does. An outcome is what it does for them. "Stop manually posting on
       weekends" beats "AI-powered content scheduler."

PART 2. THE 90-SECOND STORY ARC
[ ] 5. Opens with the problem hook. Their pain on screen first. Not your
       logo, not your features.
[ ] 6. The product enters as the fix for that exact pain.
[ ] 7. The workflow demo shows 2 to 3 key steps. No more.
[ ] 8. Ends with a benefit recap. Time saved, money earned, frustration
       eliminated. The step most people forget.
[ ] 9. Total runtime lands between 60 and 120 seconds.

PART 3. PRODUCTION
[ ] 10. A real human is on screen. Even a small presenter bubble turns a
        passive capture into a guided tour.
[ ] 11. Zooms and callouts guide the eye. Never make viewers hunt for the
        right button.
[ ] 12. Audio is crisp. Non-negotiable. Bad audio gets you tuned out faster
        than anything else.
[ ] 13. No feature dump survived the edit. If a section shows off rather
        than solves, cut it.

PART 4. THE CLOSE
[ ] 14. One single, clear call to action. One ask, not three.
[ ] 15. The CTA is verbal AND on screen.
[ ] 16. The CTA is frictionless. One click from video to trial or call.

BONUS. NEXT-LEVEL MOVES
[ ] Modular "Lego block" demos. One 60-second video per pain point,
    assembled per persona. Product updates mean re-recording one module,
    not the whole video.
[ ] An interactive demo. A clickable self-guided tour built from your
    demo library. You learn what your audience cares about from what
    they click.
