Loom Video Updates — No-Answer Outreach

This page covers when, why, and how to record Loom video updates for clients who do not pick up during Round Results calls or failed payment follow-ups. Loom updates are a personal, high-trust touchpoint that keeps clients engaged with their file even when they cannot be reached by phone. The structure below is built for scale: a fixed scaffold + scenario-coded result scripts so any CCS can record a polished update in one take.

1. Objective

To

maintainMaintain client engagement and trust when phone outreach fails,fails. Make video creation scalable — any CCS can record a polished update at high volume. Reduce time-per-video by deliveringusing a short,fixed personal video update that gives clients an overview of their file, reminds them of important next steps,scaffold and recommendspre-written onescenario smallscripts. actionOptimize content to maintainaddress theirchurn credit.by reinforcing progress, strategy, and the client's role.

2. Scope

This SOP applies to all Credit Case Specialists (CCS) handling active client communication. It is triggered after a no-answer event on either of the following:

  • Round Results — No Answer: Client missed the live Round Results call and has not responded to the no-answer SMS within 24 hours.
  • Failed Payment Follow-up — No Answer: Client missed the failed-payment follow-up call and has not responded to the SMS or email after the standard retry window.

The Loom replaces the second outreach attempt — more personal than a text, less intrusive than another call, and gives the client something they can rewatch on their own time.

3. Loom Length Rules

Rule Standard
Minimum length1 minute 30 seconds
Maximum length2 minutes 30 seconds
Target midpoint~2:00
If under 1:30Re-record. Slow down, add a reminder, or close with a stronger call-to-action.CTA. Do not pad with filler. If over 2:30CutRe-record. theTighten credit-tipSection sectionB andor re-record.D. Stay focused.
Note: Anything shorter than 1:30 feels rushed and skips important context. Anything longer than 2:30 loses the client's attention.

4. Before You Record

  1. Open the client's file in GHL and DisputeFox side by side.
  2. Review the last round of dispute results, current credit score, and any open items.
  3. For failed payment cases, confirm which payment failed, the reason code, and the next retry date.
  4. Identify the correct scenario code from Section 6 (Round Results videos).
Have the client's first name visible so you use it correctly on camera. Check your camera, mic, lighting, and background. Be presentable — this is a client-facing touchpoint. Smile before you hit record. It carries through on video.

5. Loom UpdateFixed Structure & Duration Allocation

Every Loom follows the same five-segment scaffold. Segments A, C, D, and E are standardized; Segment B is scenario-coded (1:30see Section 2:30)6).

StepSegment 3:D Reminders— What You Should Do (15202530 seconds) [Standardized]

Pick one or two relevant reminders. Do not list everything:

  • LogRemind them to access their Credit Monitoring (CM) through the client portal.
Tell them what to avoid (interference: new credit, hard pulls, closing accounts) during active rounds. Recommend one small optional action that supports progress — never a list.

Step 4: Small Actionable Recommendation (15 – 20 seconds)

Give them one small, specific thing they can do this week to support their progress. Examples:

    "This week, take five minutes to 'check your credit utilization on each card and try to bring any above 30% down before your next statement closes.closes']."

    Optional actions to choose from (pick one only):

      Check credit utilization on each card and bring any above 30% down. "This week, setSet up autopay for at least your minimum payments soon nothingopen slips through."accounts. "This week, logLog into yourthe portal andto review the items we just challenged so you know exactly where your file stands."challenged. "This week, update yourUpdate payment method in the portal soif wea cancard resumeis yourexpiring fileor withoutchanged. delay."Confirm contact info in the portal is up to date.
      Note: Keep it specific and doable. One action, not a list.

      • InviteSet themthe timeline for the next milestone (next round, next check-in).

      Example:Script: "We'll check back in with you around [next milestone / next round]. You're in good hands — we'll keep pushing on this. If you have any questions,questions in the meantime, just reply to this message or give us a call back when you have a minute. I will check in again on [next milestone].call. Thanks [Name], talk soon."

      6. Results Summary Scenario Codes (Segment B)

      Identify which scenario fits the round's outcome, then deliver the matching script. Personalize the bracketed fields with the client's actual data. Do not combine codes — pick the one that fits best.

      Code When It Applies Script GREAT-01Great results: deletions + positive score movement"We had an excellent round of results. Several negative items were removed from your credit report, and your scores increased as well. This is exactly the type of progress we want to see and puts you in a much stronger position moving forward." GOOD-01Good: deletions + minimal positive score movement"We were able to remove several negative items from your report. While the score increase was modest, these deletions are an important step and should continue to strengthen your credit profile over time." GOOD-02Good: minimal deletions + positive score movement"We saw positive movement this round. Most notably, these accounts were deleted: [list account names/types]." MIXED-01Mixed: deletions + score decreased"We saw some positive movement this round. [X] accounts were removed, which indicates that the overall changes are having a positive impact on your credit profile. Regarding the score decrease, it's likely that [reason — e.g., utilization shift, new account aging, scoring algorithm response]." MIXED-02Mixed: minimal deletions, limited movement"We saw some movement this round, although the results were more limited than we would like. This is not unusual, and our dispute team will use the responses we received to strengthen the next round of disputes." NOMOVEMENT-01No deletions"We're not seeing much movement yet, which is fairly common for the first round. Our dispute team reviews the responses from each round and adjusts the strategy to push more aggressively in the following rounds." NOMOVEMENT-02No significant deletions (personal info + inquiries only)"We've been able to remove some inquiries and update your incorrect personal information so far, which safeguards you from [fraud risk / mixed file issues]. The next round will push harder on the remaining negative items."
      Note: Bracketed fields like [X], [reason], [list account names] must be filled in with the client's actual data before recording. Never read the bracket on camera.

      7. Failed Payment Loom — Variant

      For failed-payment no-answer videos, the scaffold stays the same but the content shifts. Use the same A → C → D → E timing.

        A. Intro (10 – 15 sec): Same template — swap "your recent dispute round's results" for "a failed payment on your account." B. Payment Status (35 – 55 sec): Replaces Results Summary. State which payment did not go through, the reason in plain English (card declined, insufficient funds, expired card), the impact on their file if not resolved, and the next retry date. C. What We're Doing Next (25 – 35 sec): Confirm auto-retry is scheduled, explain the grace period, mention the dispute work continues as long as payment is resolved. D. What You Should Do (20 – 30 sec): Update the payment method in the portal OR confirm the card on file is funded by the retry date. E. Close (10 – 15 sec): Confirm next retry date, reassure, CTA to reply or call back.
        Compliance: Never state the specific dollar amount of the failed payment on camera. Direct the client to the portal or their email for the exact figure.

        8. Compliance Reminders

        CROA & Compliance — Non-Negotiable: These rules apply to every Loom regardless of client tier or situation.
        • Do not promise specific score increases, removal counts, or timelines.
        • Do not guarantee results. Always speak in terms of what we are working on and what is typical.
        • Do not say anything that implies "no upfront fees" or any other CROA-restricted claim.
        • Do not show any other client's information on screen.
        • Do not discuss specific dollar amounts of any plan or charge on camera. Refer the client to the portal or their email for the exact figure.
        • Stay professional. The client may share this video with family, attorneys, or on social media.

        7.9. Sending the Loom

        1. Record in Loom and let it process.
        2. Rename the Loom with a clear title — for example: "Round 3 Update — [Client First Name]" or "Quick Update on Your Account — [Client First Name]".
        3. Copy the share link.
        4. Send the link via SMS AND Email through GHL. Many clients prefer to watch on a bigger screen.
        5. Use a short, warm message with the link.
        Example SMS: "Hi [Name]! I just sent you a quick 2-minute video update on your file since I missed you on the phone. Take a look when you get a chance: [Loom link]"
