Sample Script
[Insured Name] In order to speed up the claim process and address your needs, I have sent you a text/message that allows you to upload photos or videos. This will allow me to quickly understand what you're dealing with so we can get you assistance as soon as possible. Let me know when you receive the text message/ email.
[Pause until response from insured]
Please click on that link and let me know when you see our logo at the top. You can click on the camera or gallery to upload photos or videos. I’d like you to start taking photos left to right at eye level of the damaged area.
[Pause until you receive photos]
When we hang up, you can take a video and describe the specific damage caused by the event that I will reference later.
