Going Exclusive..
So I have been offered to be a Brokers Tour Guy =) He does however want me to be exclusive to only his Brokerage and Teams. However they are quite large. My question is what are you guys doing to keep track of tours made and when they need to be taken down as far as hosting times. Any free apps or Excel Sheets you have made to help track these things. I am also thinking of offering him a few different packages to choose from as far as how many tours i will make for him a month. Any InSite or suggestions would be appreciated. I know some of you would not go exclusive however i feel this will fit my current needs as I am just looking for a steady monthly side income to my full time job. I do think his team is large enough to allow this to happen for me @Zach Calhoon @Zach Calhoon

@Zach Calhoon Exactly my thoughts. You should have a retainer to ensure a minimum income, based on an average number of monthly tours. Exclusivity comes at a premium price. If he's going to keep you off the market, you should be compensated.
Collection Tour issue
I’m facing an issue with a client. I created a virtual tour for a school, which combines multiple individual tours into one. The client is asking for an embed link for the combined tour to include it on their website, along with the complete set of files for the entire tour package. However, the files for the virtual tour are also grouped in a combined format, and currently, there's no direct way to provide an embed link for the Collection tour. I contacted the support team of the platform I used, but they haven’t offered a solution to this issue yet. Below is the link to the tour: https://app.cloudpano.com/group/IndianSchoolBucher

@Kirk Creary I recommend you show that to an attorney. I'm not qualified to look at others' contracts. There are some legal-specific LLMs. You could always run it through one of those.

@Kirk Creary personally I will never buy a “lifetime deal.” I’ve bought many in the past, only to have the vendor go belly up. I don’t mind paying monthly or annually for a useful service or software. It ensures long term financial viability for the vendor. Case in point: Adobe. Used to sell their software for a single price. Then provide security and bug fix updates. I used to buy a new version every 4 or 5 years, but it was optional. They were close to being insolvent then switched to a subscription model. Doing much better now. (That being said, AI may be killing their business, but that’s another issue entirely.”)
How to Win Against Competitors Who Underquote You
When you quote a virtual tour, drone project, or real estate photos/videos, there’s always that little fear… “What if someone else comes in cheaper?” That fear is so strong it can make you lower your price without even realizing it. Sometimes, there isn’t even a competitor. It’s just you being insecure. But before you slash your prices, do these three things: 1. Ask if someone else has quoted the project. It’s completely okay to ask. If you don’t know whether there are competitors, how could the client possibly know if you’re cheaper, better, or more valuable? Try to get a frame of reference. Don’t always ask directly, “What did they quote?” Instead, float a number and say: 👉 “Is their quote above or below this?” This gives you an anchor point. Then position yourself: “I want to win your business and do an amazing job. But I also know the time, effort, and value required to deliver a world-class result.” 2. Paint a vivid picture of the end goal. Sales isn’t about features. It’s about outcomes. Your customer doesn’t just want photos or a tour. They want sales, leads, traffic, or credibility. That’s the real end goal. Show them what life looks like if they choose you versus someone else. Example: When someone tells me they got a Matterport quote, I say: “That’s unfortunate. With Matterport, you’re stuck with the weird dollhouse view. No drones. No editing later. No customization. On CloudPano, you get complete control — plus you can add lead capture elements directly inside the tour. That means you generate leads organically, without paying for ads. And those leads? They’re more engaged and higher quality than the ones you get anywhere else.” See the difference? You’re not selling “a tour.” You’re selling more leads, more sales, and less wasted time. And if the client insists it’s just about price? Tell them:👉 “Sure, I can do that price — but we’d have to reduce the scope.” 3. Ask for “last look.” This is a powerful play. Here’s how it works: after they’ve gathered all quotes, ask if you can take a “last look” before they decide.

@Zach Calhoon good stuff. One thing I've done for many years (mostly for website building) is ask "What's your budget for this project?" or "What are your expectations for pricing?" but also ask "If I can produce it for that price, can we get started right away?" (Always Be Closing) Surprisingly, most businesses will tell you. Actually, the larger the company, the bigger chance they actually HAVE a budget and will share that with you. Another way is to have them fill out an RFQ (request for quote) form, that more eloquently asks the same question. It's almost like they're compelled to complete the form before we can even discuss it. The RFQ asks for a great amount of detail (again, I used this for custom websites) so it's very easy to quote accurately.

@Zach Calhoon 💯 agree. It's been awhile since I ran into this, but larger corporations, and ESPECIALLY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, are clueless about competitive pricing. Often, you'll shoot yourself in the foot and leave $$ on the table if you can't find out what the budget it.
Seeking advice again...
Hello to the community! When I completed my first official tour a few weeks ago, I also uploaded it to Google Street View (via CloudPano) so that people could view a 360° tour of the client's business when they do a Google search. However, I noticed an issue that I hope someone can advise me on. So let's say that I created a tour for.... business: XYZ, Inc. address: 1234 Main Street The issue is... I notice that if I do a Google search for '1234 Main Street,' the tour will appear. But If I do a Google search for 'XYZ, Inc.,' the tour does not show up. Again, the tour is at... app.cloudpano.com/tours/E7Nuv8kU9 So is it something that I did wrong when I uploaded the tour to Google Street View in CloudPano that is causing this? If so, what can I do to fix it? And if that is not the cause, what is going on and what can I do? Looking forward to hearing from you guys, and thank you! K

I shared this in the comment of that other post, but for the benefit of everyone, here it is again. There is a troubleshooting page for GSVs in the CloudPano help files. https://help.cloudpano.com/en/articles/5757616-troubleshooting-common-gsv-problems

@Kirk Creary when you make a post like this, it's appropriate to tag someone (with an @) to draw their attention to it, and have the question answered in the public forum vs a PM. Tagging @Zach Calhoon or other admins and frequentactive posters should get your post noticed. You can see admins on the MEMBERS tab above. You can also go to the LEADERBOARDS link above to see who the frequent posters and responders are, based on their activity.
Can we discuss pricing for 360 Tours?
I'm working on creating packages for tours, and wondering how others in this group are creating pricing. I'm thinking I'll base the shooting fee/setup on the number of rooms/shots, and adjust the hosting accordingly. Google Street View uploads, floor plans, dollhouse, virtual staging, flythrough videos (Zach's new service that uses AI to build a video), hot links (i.e. product details for Ecommerce), live chat, all as add-ons. For those of you doing business in multiple cities, do you keep consistent pricing across the board? For example, shooting a tour in a major city like Chicago or NYC would necessarily cost much more than in the midwest, in a more easily accessible city like Columbus Ohio or Indianapolis.

@Kirk Creary The point I was trying to make is NEVER CHARGE BY THE HOUR. Aways charge a project fee, or per pano, or sell "packages" like 5 panos for X dollars, 10 for y dollars, 30 for z dollars, or a subscription (for markets like realtors). If you have a Realtor client that gets new listings consistently, then a subscription would be priced so it's well worth their while, and it keeps regular revenue coming in. Prices are going to vary by location. New York City, Chicago, or LA are going to be much higher than say, Columbus Ohio. Your best bet is to check 5 closest competitors in your market, who serve your same target audience, like Realtors, Hotels, Nursing Homes, Colleges, etc.
