Sending your first yap-back link
The link itself is one tap to copy. What matters more is what you put in it.
What clients see
When a client opens your link, they see:
- Your name and photo
- A one-line prompt ("Tell me how you slept this week.")
- Optional bullets they can hit in any order
- A big record button
That's it. No login, no app, no waiting.
Writing a good prompt
Three rules that get usable content on the first try:
- Be specific. "Tell me about your business" gets you nothing. "Tell me about the week you almost shut down the business" gets you gold.
- One thing. If you ask for three stories, you get three lukewarm ones. Send three links instead.
- Tell them how long. "30 seconds is plenty" beats no guidance. Clients overshoot wildly when they don't know.
Bullets
Bullets are optional. They show up as a checklist next to the record button. Use them when the client tends to miss a beat ("Don't forget to mention the time we shipped it overnight"). Don't use them when you want the client to ramble naturally.
