The normal cost for scanning with them paying upfront would be $500. So I risk to work for free but with extra 10% added to my service fee.

I am sure they will keep it and pay for the tour as it is going to bring them around 8000-15000 views from maps within 30 days. It is about 35 scan points.

We also agreed on 3 months trial for the Matterport model placed on their website after they pay for the Google tour. It will cost them $180 per year(my normal price is $20/month for hosting) and nothing more. I will try to sell them Mattertags later or charge them for a collaborator account in case they do not mind to create them themselves and save a lot on them.

That's is the first business I am trying a free trial on but I can see how it changes my sales. After I told this business that I would be more than happy to offer them a free trial without any obligations they jumped on board straight away.

I won't do trial tours for just about any business though. I am going to hand pick those that in my opinion will more likely to pay later and have some interesting spaces.

The next one for a trial is some kids art activity business about 5 kms from me. They are kind of unique at what they offer and its owner seems to be quite interested.
