Then rewrite it into 8 stronger variants, each labeled with the technique used (curiosity gap, negativity bias, specificity, callout, stakes, novelty, social proof, question). Keep each under 8 words for the on-screen line and pair it with the spoken opener.
Finally pick the top 2 to test first and say what each tests.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
