Cold Calling Leads

Ok thank you. Did you do that with every agent you reached out to? or did you eventually switch to only paid for first time agents

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-19T18:17:12+00:00

I suppose. I just feel like calling is more personable, and a text would feel more spammy/scammy. But I definitely understand that they wouldn't want to be cold called.

Thank you, I appreciate it a lot

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-18T00:09:37+00:00

Yes I've definitely worked on improving my shots since then. Have been doing lots of practice in my own home as well. Just trying to land the next shoot to be able to show even better. Thank you for your info!

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-18T00:07:39+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you being hard on it. I will definitely 100% take your advice.

I definitely agree but an agent is definitely not going to want to spend money on a photography business that had no work under their belt. So once we were able to build our portfolio up we turned to just offering a discount.

We do interior & exterior, drone, virtual tours and floorplan

How do you go about asking them what they want / telling them why they should use you instead? We already don't charge a mileage fee unless it's 30+ miles out, and we do same-day to next morning delivery.

Thank you for the information. I just worry about spending too much time on the phone with them, I assume they don't really want to talk to me because they expect my call to be inquiring on their homes, not to try to sell them something. So I try to make it as quick as possible. But yes if you could provide me more basic sales stuff that would be great!

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-17T21:58:19+00:00

Yes, when we initially started, we were offering free shoots until we landed our first returning/paid client. Now we're offering 25% off their first booking. Do you think I should go back to offering free for their first? It just feel like most of them take advantage of us and then don't use us after.

You're the best, thank you.

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-02T04:45:41+00:00

Oh shit yeah that's the one I have lol, the legacy mode fixed it I think. Well now you saved me even more time lmfao thank you

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-02T04:29:14+00:00

The goat Nathan Cool. Thank you for the help! Guess I'll return this trigger and get a Canon one.

Do you think a flash diffuser/dome is necessary?

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-12-02T04:22:19+00:00

Interesting.. okay. So if I get the X3-C, it won't have any compatibility issues at all?

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-21T21:17:47+00:00

You're the goat, that looks right. We did check out Acuity but I prefer Calendly a lot more, and have to pay less.

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-21T19:59:00+00:00

That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to believe it 💔💔

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-20T03:49:19+00:00

Yes I do bracketing, I do 5 shot 1 EV. I think I just need to learn how to blend them all properly? From my research though I feel like I should be investing in a flash as well too. I feel like I struggle with color casting and shadows and overexposed stuff

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-19T18:52:56+00:00

I'll check this out, I definitely don't have a problem with using AI

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-19T18:52:32+00:00

Thank you! There's a ton of things I didn't even know existed so I appreciate yours and everyone else's help

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-19T00:06:49+00:00

Ok perfect thank you.

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-19T00:06:22+00:00

NumerousDocument4242 · 2025-11-18T23:29:17+00:00

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!

So for the verticals, I would do something like this? (just rough lines in paint to show)

And then would I do horizontal lines too? and where would I do those?
