Example Framework
"Hey [name], just thought I'd share this Loom to give you a little insight on my experience and how I think it could help you..."

Pro Tip
One good Loom video that shows genuine expertise can convert to a long-term client relationship. The video quality matters less than demonstrating real capability.
