[00:00:04]
Dan Smigrod: Founder of the We Get Around Network Forum.

[00:00:06]
Dan Smigrod: Today is Thursday, September 9th,

[00:00:09]
Dan Smigrod: 2021, and you're watching WGAN-TV Live at 5.

[00:00:15]
Dan Smigrod: We have an awesome show for you today:

[00:00:17]
Dan Smigrod: 7 Strategies to Sell Floor Plans as an Add On with CAPTUR3D.

[00:00:22]
Dan Smigrod: Here to visit with us about it to Steven Kounnas.

[00:00:25]
Dan Smigrod: Steven is Founder and Chief Operating Officer for CAPTUR3D.

[00:00:28]
Dan Smigrod: Steven, good to see you again.

[00:00:31]
Steven Kounnas: As always Dan, thanks for having me on.

[00:00:32]
Dan Smigrod: Steven's been on the show a number of times talking at length about CAPTUR3D.

[00:00:38]
Dan Smigrod: Before we jump into today's topic,

[00:00:40]
Dan Smigrod: 7 Strategies to Sell Floor Plans as an Add On with CAPTUR3D, Steven,

[00:00:44]
Dan Smigrod: how about giving us an overview of CAPTUR3D

[00:00:48]
Dan Smigrod: for those that may not be familiar with CAPTUR3D?

[00:00:52]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, absolutely not a problem.

[00:00:53]
Steven Kounnas: Again, thanks for having us. Really excited to be here.

[00:00:56]
Steven Kounnas: For those of you who are new to me and new to CAPTUR3D,

[00:00:59]
Steven Kounnas: we've been around for about six years now working within the Matterport industry.

[00:01:04]
Steven Kounnas: We focus on creating different layers and

[00:01:06]
Steven Kounnas: service offerings for anyone that's creating content,

[00:01:09]
Steven Kounnas: depending on different industries that you operate within.

[00:01:12]
Steven Kounnas: Things like virtual tour overlays or virtual tour skins putting your branding and logos,

[00:01:17]
Steven Kounnas: client information within that space.

[00:01:19]
Steven Kounnas: One-page property websites,

[00:01:21]
Steven Kounnas: and so bringing in all of your content into

[00:01:23]
Steven Kounnas: a designed property page that you can then provide to your clients or your listings,

[00:01:28]
Steven Kounnas: and these can be templated.

[00:01:29]
Steven Kounnas: So you can move things around and create them how you like.

[00:01:33]
Steven Kounnas: We have our white-label solution.

[00:01:35]
Steven Kounnas: This is currently free, so you can reroute the domains,

[00:01:37]
Steven Kounnas: the URLs under your company name,

[00:01:40]
Steven Kounnas: really useful tool for online branding and digital branding presentations.

[00:01:46]
Steven Kounnas: Some of our newer features like virtual staging,

[00:01:48]
Steven Kounnas: so being able to put furniture within houses that may not

[00:01:52]
Steven Kounnas: have any or top-up some furniture into houses that might not have a lot of.

[00:01:55]
Steven Kounnas: It's a fantastic feature that continues to evolve.

[00:01:59]
Steven Kounnas: Custom MatterTags, and so changing icons and being

[00:02:01]
Steven Kounnas: able to do a whole bunch of different things within the MatterTag space,

[00:02:04]
Steven Kounnas: including web embed,

[00:02:06]
Steven Kounnas: media embed, and a few other things as well.

[00:02:08]
Steven Kounnas: Media embed, so placing all sorts of media

[00:02:11]
Steven Kounnas: within the space including audio and location-based audio,

[00:02:16]
Steven Kounnas: and then we come through to the custom floor plans

[00:02:18]
Steven Kounnas: and site plans which we'll be diving into today,

[00:02:20]
Steven Kounnas: so I won't touch on too much,

[00:02:22]
Steven Kounnas: but then things like photo retouching.

[00:02:24]
Steven Kounnas: Getting the photos extracted from Matterport,

[00:02:27]
Steven Kounnas: touching them up and so that the grass is greener,

[00:02:29]
Steven Kounnas: the sky is bluer and everything looks a lot brighter within

[00:02:33]
Steven Kounnas: your images so you can deliver a high res package for your listings.

[00:02:37]
Steven Kounnas: Post-production services, so this is creating

[00:02:39]
Steven Kounnas: Highlight Reels in the Matterport tour for you.

[00:02:42]
Steven Kounnas: When you're doing high volumes of tours,

[00:02:43]
Steven Kounnas: can be quite time consuming to do a lot of the backend yourself,

[00:02:46]
Steven Kounnas: so we provide a service that can do that for

[00:02:48]
Steven Kounnas: you overnight so when you wake up in the morning,

[00:02:50]
Steven Kounnas: everything's ready for you.

[00:02:52]
Steven Kounnas: Then we've got our automated booking system including payments.

[00:02:55]
Steven Kounnas: So you can schedule everything again,

[00:02:57]
Steven Kounnas: completely hands-off and give your clients

[00:02:59]
Steven Kounnas: the ability to book you in when you are available,

[00:03:02]
Steven Kounnas: and then things like automated emails for your delivery and analytics.

[00:03:05]
Steven Kounnas: There's a whole bunch of things.

[00:03:07]
Steven Kounnas: I won't go into them otherwise we'll spend most

[00:03:08]
Steven Kounnas: of the show talking about all the items that we do,

[00:03:12]
Steven Kounnas: but we'll focus on what we're doing today.

[00:03:14]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome. I think of CAPTUR3D as a Swiss Army Knife meets Matterport.

[00:03:18]
Dan Smigrod: There's so many different things that CAPTUR3D does.

[00:03:23]
Dan Smigrod: It's really quite amazing!

[00:03:25]
Dan Smigrod: Steven, while you're getting set up to take us through

[00:03:28]
Dan Smigrod: some different examples of CAPTUR3D floor plans,

[00:03:35]
Dan Smigrod: why don't you start to share screen?

[00:03:36]
Dan Smigrod: I'm going to share with our audience to make it super-easy to get started with CAPTUR3D,

[00:03:44]
Dan Smigrod: to receive a $90 CAPTUR3D credit which is good for

[00:03:50]
Dan Smigrod: five CAPTUR3D floor plans along with getting some change left, change back.

[00:03:56]
Dan Smigrod: Use the WGAN affiliate link for CAPTUR3D.

[00:04:00]
Dan Smigrod: It's www.WGAN.INFO/CAPTUR3D

[00:04:09]
Dan Smigrod: And you've got 30 days to use

[00:04:11]
Dan Smigrod: the $90 credit from the time that you sign up the first time.

[00:04:17]
Dan Smigrod: You can use them for five free floor plans.

[00:04:21]
Dan Smigrod: Frankly, you can use the credit for any service that CAPTUR3D offers.

[00:04:29]
Dan Smigrod: Steven, even before we talk strategy,

[00:04:33]
Dan Smigrod: it's helpful to really understand what a CAPTUR3D floor plan looks like.

[00:04:41]
Dan Smigrod: Can you take us through it?

[00:04:42]
Dan Smigrod: Maybe point out strategies for selling floor plans as an Add On as

[00:04:48]
Dan Smigrod: you're showing us each different version style of CAPTUR3D floor plans?

[00:04:54]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, not a problem at all. Before diving into it,

[00:04:57]
Steven Kounnas: a good thing to note and to remember as we go through this,

[00:05:00]
Steven Kounnas: with CAPTUR3D we charge one price.

[00:05:03]
Steven Kounnas: No matter how big the property is, how many levels,

[00:05:06]
Steven Kounnas: or what type of floor plan you're trying to receive,

[00:05:09]
Steven Kounnas: it's one simple price of $16.

[00:05:11]
Steven Kounnas: As I go through these different examples and we do talk about the strategies at the end,

[00:05:14]
Steven Kounnas: it's really important to note because that is going

[00:05:16]
Steven Kounnas: to be your baseline for creating value for yourself and for

[00:05:19]
Steven Kounnas: your business as you can sell each one of these

[00:05:21]
Steven Kounnas: differently and for different markups and different profit margins.

[00:05:25]
Steven Kounnas: So it's really important to know.

[00:05:27]
Steven Kounnas: For $16, you'll be able to receive everything that we'll show you here today.

[00:05:30]
Steven Kounnas: The first one that we've got up here on the board really

[00:05:33]
Steven Kounnas: simply is placing your client's branding within a floor plan.

[00:05:36]
Dan Smigrod: Excuse me, Steven. I just see your desktop.

[00:05:39]
Dan Smigrod: Should I be looking at?

[00:05:40]
Steven Kounnas: Let me try again? It's that coming through?

[00:05:46]
Dan Smigrod: Yes. Thank you.

[00:05:47]
Steven Kounnas: My apologies. As beautiful as my background is, this is a little bit more important.

[00:05:52]
Steven Kounnas: As I was saying, with client branding,

[00:05:54]
Steven Kounnas: we'll dive in here just get things going.

[00:05:57]
Steven Kounnas: You can see here on the right-hand side the example that we've got.

[00:06:00]
Steven Kounnas: It's a few little things that help provide

[00:06:04]
Steven Kounnas: your customer with the satisfaction that they're seeing their brand, their icons,

[00:06:07]
Steven Kounnas: and in some cases their faces. You can put their icons

[00:06:09]
Steven Kounnas: and their images onto the floor plan.

[00:06:12]
Steven Kounnas: Their branding.

[00:06:13]
Steven Kounnas: Their logos. Their colors and the way that they speak

[00:06:16]
Steven Kounnas: about their floor plans is really important to make it feel like theirs.

[00:06:21]
Steven Kounnas: Being able to offer this to clients really easily is one of

[00:06:23]
Steven Kounnas: the probably the easiest strategies to get into the door to start offering services.

[00:06:28]
Steven Kounnas: If you provide a standard floor plan,

[00:06:30]
Steven Kounnas: they can usually get that anyway.

[00:06:31]
Steven Kounnas: Being able to provide a customized one makes it a lot more

[00:06:34]
Steven Kounnas: unique to you and to that customer in itself.

[00:06:37]
Dan Smigrod: Hold there just for a second because,

[00:06:40]
Dan Smigrod: forgive me, but I want to stay on this floor plan and ask you some questions.

[00:06:44]
Dan Smigrod: I see the logo in the bottom left in black and white.

[00:06:49]
Dan Smigrod: Can that logo be anywhere on here if I want to specify,

[00:06:52]
Dan Smigrod: I want it on the top left, top right?

[00:06:55]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah. Any way you like.

[00:06:56]
Dan Smigrod: I noticed that this is in meters.

[00:06:59]
Dan Smigrod: I'm in the United States.

[00:07:00]
Dan Smigrod: Can this be feet and inches?

[00:07:02]
Steven Kounnas: Yes, it can, quite easily by click of a button.

[00:07:05]
Dan Smigrod: I noticed that this floor plan is in English.

[00:07:08]
Dan Smigrod: Are there options for other languages?

[00:07:11]
Steven Kounnas: Yes. We have five base languages being English,

[00:07:15]
Steven Kounnas: German, French,

[00:07:17]
Steven Kounnas: Dutch, and Spanish.

[00:07:19]
Steven Kounnas: But if there's any other languages that we don't have as our standard,

[00:07:22]
Steven Kounnas: we provide a spreadsheet that has a list of

[00:07:25]
Steven Kounnas: room names and then what you would call those room names in your local language,

[00:07:29]
Steven Kounnas: and we use that as a template for you moving forward.

[00:07:32]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome, and then I noticed on this disclaimer,

[00:07:37]
Dan Smigrod: if I have words that I want to use that are different,

[00:07:41]
Dan Smigrod: can I specify what the disclaimer words are?

[00:07:47]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, absolutely. That's probably one of the more important items to

[00:07:50]
Steven Kounnas: cover from a global point of view because in

[00:07:53]
Steven Kounnas: each country and different regions of different countries,

[00:07:55]
Steven Kounnas: they have different requirements for disclaimers and even the floor plan themselves.

[00:08:00]
Steven Kounnas: All of those things are changeable for that purpose to make sure that we're

[00:08:04]
Steven Kounnas: delivering floor plans to the local requirements that are necessary.

[00:08:09]
Dan Smigrod: Okay, Great. That's client branding as

[00:08:12]
Dan Smigrod: an example of a strategy for selling floor plans as an Add On.

[00:08:21]
Steven Kounnas: The last one here, that I didn't touch on before I move along,

[00:08:25]
Steven Kounnas: you mentioned changing the logos and things around.

[00:08:28]
Steven Kounnas: One of the easiest things to do as well is just to upload

[00:08:31]
Steven Kounnas: a version of the design that you're trying to recreate.

[00:08:35]
Steven Kounnas: If a client that you're about to start working with has

[00:08:37]
Steven Kounnas: an existing floor plan that they want to continue to create,

[00:08:40]
Steven Kounnas: we're able to receive that as a template,

[00:08:43]
Steven Kounnas: recreate it in our back-end and then deliver that back to you when you need it as well.

[00:08:47]
Dan Smigrod: Do I need to do that or does CAPTUR3D have

[00:08:52]
Dan Smigrod: some default examples of floor plans and I can

[00:08:56]
Dan Smigrod: select one that I like best for my clients?

[00:09:01]
Steven Kounnas: Correct. Yes. So we do have a baseline of

[00:09:03]
Steven Kounnas: templates which we'll go through towards the end, I guess,

[00:09:06]
Steven Kounnas: or towards the middle when we go through a bit of a live demo,

[00:09:09]
Steven Kounnas: but if there is more specific,

[00:09:10]
Steven Kounnas: unique designs, then you can upload a floor plan and we can go from there.

[00:09:17]
Steven Kounnas: The next one, as an example,

[00:09:19]
Steven Kounnas: is a site plan.

[00:09:21]
Steven Kounnas: You can see here on the right-hand side of my screen,

[00:09:23]
Steven Kounnas: the site plan is the boundary of the property.

[00:09:26]
Steven Kounnas: Matterport obviously CAPTUR3Ds the interiors perfectly and you

[00:09:29]
Steven Kounnas: can do some in the exterior around dusk and dawn and things like that,

[00:09:33]
Steven Kounnas: but it's not necessary to scan outside for us to create a site plan.

[00:09:37]
Steven Kounnas: You can see here how we go about doing it.

[00:09:40]
Steven Kounnas: It's a mixture of satellite images and 360 exteriors from Matterport,

[00:09:45]
Steven Kounnas: or if you're a drone photographer,

[00:09:46]
Steven Kounnas: riding a drone shot from above,

[00:09:48]
Steven Kounnas: is useful, or you can even hand draw it and I think we'd go from there.

[00:09:52]
Steven Kounnas: It's not all of those things,

[00:09:53]
Steven Kounnas: it's just one of those items and we can create a site plan.

[00:09:57]
Steven Kounnas: It's super-easy and really,

[00:09:59]
Steven Kounnas: really beneficial to the client.

[00:10:01]
Steven Kounnas: They know that they're going to be receiving a floor plan in most cases,

[00:10:04]
Steven Kounnas: but when you provide back a detailed site plan showing space on the property,

[00:10:08]
Steven Kounnas: it has an immense value proposition for,

[00:10:11]
Steven Kounnas: not only the real estate agent,

[00:10:12]
Steven Kounnas: but the vendor [homeowner] selling the property as well.

[00:10:15]
Dan Smigrod: A couple of questions on CAPTUR3D site plans.

[00:10:18]
Dan Smigrod: Just for clarification, at the top of the show,

[00:10:21]
Dan Smigrod: you mentioned $16 per floor plan.

[00:10:26]
Dan Smigrod: You're now showing a floor plan and the site plan.

[00:10:28]
Dan Smigrod: Is the site plan included in the $16 as well?

[00:10:32]
Steven Kounnas: Yes, it is. Everything we are going through today is just one price.

[00:10:36]
Dan Smigrod: Great. Second is if I have not shot

[00:10:41]
Dan Smigrod: any Matterport 360 Views or any Matterport

[00:10:46]
Dan Smigrod: Scans outdoors and I don't provide you any drone photography,

[00:10:52]
Dan Smigrod: are you still able to do the site plan based on the satellite images alone?

[00:10:59]
Steven Kounnas: Yes, we are. The accuracy of the site plan might not have

[00:11:04]
Steven Kounnas: the finer details like shrubs or trees under awnings that we wouldn't be able to see,

[00:11:08]
Steven Kounnas: but we'll be able to create pretty

[00:11:10]
Steven Kounnas: well the site plan that you see on the right-hand side.

[00:11:13]
Steven Kounnas: Here, you can see where the residence is, the shed,

[00:11:16]
Steven Kounnas: the pathways, and the main areas of that property in itself.

[00:11:20]
Steven Kounnas: The satellite images are very useful,

[00:11:23]
Steven Kounnas: but we do need to acknowledge that they're not always up-to-date,

[00:11:26]
Steven Kounnas: and so if you've recently done a renovation, they might be outdated.

[00:11:29]
Steven Kounnas: Just be cautious so when you're going to

[00:11:31]
Steven Kounnas: a property to maybe just do a couple of outdoor 360s

[00:11:35]
Steven Kounnas: Then our team uses that as a reference point to make sure that

[00:11:38]
Steven Kounnas: what they're seeing in the satellite image

[00:11:39]
Steven Kounnas: is actually what's going on on the ground as well.

[00:11:41]
Dan Smigrod: On a site plan,

[00:11:43]
Dan Smigrod: if I do give you 360 Views outdoors and or drone photography,

[00:11:52]
Dan Smigrod: then when CAPTUR3D does a site plan,

[00:11:56]
Dan Smigrod: will the landscaping reflect the kind of shrubbery,

[00:12:01]
Dan Smigrod: plants, on the property?

[00:12:04]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah. Well, to a certain extent.

[00:12:06]
Steven Kounnas: Look, site plans aren't the most detailed.

[00:12:08]
Steven Kounnas: You're not going to have a plant-to-plant,

[00:12:09]
Steven Kounnas: but the plants are going to be in the right locations if we can see them.

[00:12:13]
Steven Kounnas: Really important one is when you've got,

[00:12:17]
Steven Kounnas: we call them awnings in Australia.

[00:12:18]
Steven Kounnas: Sure, it's the same in the States.

[00:12:19]
Steven Kounnas: It's coverings that you can't see from above,

[00:12:21]
Steven Kounnas: but they're outdoor areas.

[00:12:23]
Steven Kounnas: There's a lot of great information and a lot of value to the property under those spaces.

[00:12:27]
Steven Kounnas: If we are able to see it, then we can draw it and make it more valuable in the site plan.

[00:12:32]
Dan Smigrod: A site plan would be a second strategy to sell floor plans as

[00:12:37]
Dan Smigrod: an Add On is actually offer both the floor plan and the site plan,

[00:12:42]
Dan Smigrod: and again, still $16 US for the combination?

[00:12:48]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah. Correct. That strategy site is almost like your two-for-one.

[00:12:54]
Steven Kounnas: You've got your floor plan and now you could offer

[00:12:56]
Steven Kounnas: this site plan however you choose to price it,

[00:12:59]
Steven Kounnas: but it looks like it's a two-for-one for the client,

[00:13:01]
Steven Kounnas: but really, it's just one offering from us.

[00:13:05]
Dan Smigrod: This property looks pretty large.

[00:13:08]
Dan Smigrod: Is there a limit on the size of a property to get back a floor plan?

[00:13:14]
Steven Kounnas: No, we have no limits on our floor plans.

[00:13:16]
Steven Kounnas: We'll go through it towards the end.

[00:13:18]
Steven Kounnas: There is a 24-hour turnaround for bigger properties, but usually,

[00:13:21]
Steven Kounnas: it's a lot quicker, but there is no limit on the size.

[00:13:24]
Steven Kounnas: As a test, we did test our floor planners to do a complete floor plan for an IKEA.

[00:13:31]
Steven Kounnas: So as long as your properties are around the size of an IKEA or small, we should be fine.

[00:13:37]
Dan Smigrod: Okay. That probably includes nearly 100 percent of the properties.

[00:13:42]
Dan Smigrod: Great. So that's second; site plan as a strategy,

[00:13:45]
Dan Smigrod: there's also floor plans as an Add On with CAPTUR3D.

[00:13:51]
Steven Kounnas: Beautiful. The next one,

[00:13:54]
Steven Kounnas: and these are becoming more and more popular at the moment.

[00:13:58]
Steven Kounnas: We started offering these,

[00:13:59]
Steven Kounnas: maybe two or so years ago.

[00:14:01]
Steven Kounnas: They're 3D virtual floor plans.

[00:14:05]
Steven Kounnas: We're creating a static 3D version

[00:14:10]
Steven Kounnas: of the floor plan with all the measurements and all of the furniture within the property.

[00:14:16]
Steven Kounnas: These kind of weren't really that popular too long ago

[00:14:20]
Steven Kounnas: because they're quite time-consuming to create and quite expensive,

[00:14:23]
Steven Kounnas: but with advances in technology,

[00:14:26]
Steven Kounnas: they're now quite a lot easier to create and therefore,

[00:14:29]
Steven Kounnas: making it more higher adoption within the markets.

[00:14:32]
Steven Kounnas: From our point of view, we say this is

[00:14:34]
Steven Kounnas: amazing value adds for a number of different reasons.

[00:14:38]
Steven Kounnas: One, it's standing you out from the crowd,

[00:14:40]
Steven Kounnas: and so you don't have your standard 2D floor plan

[00:14:43]
Steven Kounnas: on your piece of paper or on your billboards,

[00:14:46]
Steven Kounnas: but sometimes, a lot of people struggle to actually understand a standard floor plan.

[00:14:51]
Steven Kounnas: These floor plans give you the perspective of understanding, okay,

[00:14:55]
Steven Kounnas: Well, a bed is in this room and this is how big

[00:14:56]
Steven Kounnas: this room could be or how different items could move around.

[00:14:59]
Steven Kounnas: It's a half step away from a Matterport tour where you have the full interactivity,

[00:15:03]
Steven Kounnas: but gives you that overview of that space in itself.

[00:15:08]
Steven Kounnas: Again, these can be all branded. As you can see on this one.

[00:15:10]
Steven Kounnas: This one's black with Tommy's,

[00:15:11]
Steven Kounnas: but can be all sorts of different brandings and everything else around it as well.

[00:15:15]
Dan Smigrod: I'm confused about pricing.

[00:15:18]
Dan Smigrod: Is this $16 and I get a 2D floor plan,

[00:15:24]
Dan Smigrod: a 2D site plan,

[00:15:27]
Dan Smigrod: and a 3D virtually staged static plan?

[00:15:35]
Steven Kounnas: Each floor plan type,

[00:15:38]
Steven Kounnas: so the 2D,

[00:15:39]
Steven Kounnas: the site plan, and the floor plan,

[00:15:41]
Steven Kounnas: and then the 3D, each of them individually $16.

[00:15:43]
Steven Kounnas: However, we've got a really good deal that runs with the 3D floor plans,

[00:15:47]
Steven Kounnas: which I believe is on my next slide,

[00:15:49]
Steven Kounnas: which is that with every 3D floor plan that you order,

[00:15:53]
Steven Kounnas: we will provide you with a 2D floor plan for free.

[00:15:58]
Dan Smigrod: For clarification, I'm looking at on the left side,

[00:16:03]
Dan Smigrod: a 2D floor plan and a site plan.

[00:16:05]
Dan Smigrod: On the right side, I'm looking at a 3D floor plan and a site plan.

[00:16:13]
Dan Smigrod: Today, at least there is a offer from

[00:16:15]
Dan Smigrod: CAPTUR3D that if I order what's on the right for $16,

[00:16:20]
Dan Smigrod: then I also get what's on the left at no extra charge.

[00:16:25]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, that's correct. Because a lot of the time that takes to create

[00:16:28]
Steven Kounnas: floor plans is measure the rooms and get the right measurements and label everything.

[00:16:34]
Steven Kounnas: We're able to create this double value for our clients,

[00:16:36]
Steven Kounnas: because we're doing a lot of the legwork up front.

[00:16:38]
Steven Kounnas: We also appreciate that the 3D virtual floor plan is a great marketing tool,

[00:16:44]
Steven Kounnas: but it's not always accepted as a standard floor plans in certain regions.

[00:16:49]
Steven Kounnas: You'll still need to supply your standard floor plans to

[00:16:52]
Steven Kounnas: be up to legislation [MLS] depending on where you're listing your property potentially.

[00:16:56]
Steven Kounnas: Using those for the necessities being floor and sites plans,

[00:17:01]
Steven Kounnas: but then having your amazing virtual floor plan as your marketing tool as well.

[00:17:05]
Steven Kounnas: Again, it's bundling in a lot of value, that $16,

[00:17:10]
Steven Kounnas: and we'll talk about it later around how to then sell that,

[00:17:12]
Steven Kounnas: but there's a lot that you could then sell that to

[00:17:15]
Steven Kounnas: your clients to the future because you're creating so much value for them.

[00:17:19]
Dan Smigrod: Just to be clear,

[00:17:21]
Dan Smigrod: this is presently a CAPTUR3D special offer.

[00:17:30]
Steven Kounnas: Yes, it is.

[00:17:31]
Dan Smigrod: That might change, but presently for $16,

[00:17:35]
Dan Smigrod: you can get what's on the right and what's on the left, total $16.

[00:17:41]
Steven Kounnas: That's correct.

[00:17:42]
Dan Smigrod: That's a special offer from CAPTUR3D.

[00:17:47]
Dan Smigrod: For clarification on the right where we're looking at

[00:17:51]
Dan Smigrod: the 3D version of the floor plan, two questions.

[00:17:56]
Dan Smigrod: One, I see that there are measurements on there.

[00:17:59]
Dan Smigrod: I can imagine for a hotel room,

[00:18:01]
Dan Smigrod: I might not want actual measurements and I may not

[00:18:05]
Dan Smigrod: even want room labels because I now see there's a bed.

[00:18:10]
Dan Smigrod: Can I get the plan without labels,

[00:18:13]
Dan Smigrod: without measurements if I'd like it that way?

[00:18:16]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, definitely. It's completely customizable to the way that you would like it.

[00:18:21]
Steven Kounnas: If you are servicing a lot of hotels,

[00:18:23]
Steven Kounnas: for instance, and this was a common occurrence,

[00:18:25]
Steven Kounnas: what we would do for you is we would create

[00:18:27]
Steven Kounnas: a specific template that wouldn't have any labels or measurements.

[00:18:32]
Steven Kounnas: Then you could use that each time that you order one of those for your client.

[00:18:35]
Steven Kounnas: Alternatively, this is the one-off in the notes, you can request.

[00:18:38]
Steven Kounnas: Please leave the measurements and notes out for

[00:18:40]
Steven Kounnas: this one and our team will deliver back onto your request.

[00:18:45]
Dan Smigrod: If I look at the left or the right,

[00:18:49]
Dan Smigrod: gee, I think it's two questions here, Steven.

[00:18:52]
Dan Smigrod: One, you may have labeled something garage.

[00:18:59]
Dan Smigrod: In Atlanta, that might be called the carport.

[00:19:03]
Dan Smigrod: If I haven't specified that upfront,

[00:19:06]
Dan Smigrod: can I still make a change?

[00:19:07]
Dan Smigrod: Is there a charge?

[00:19:09]
Dan Smigrod: Also, I noticed on the bed,

[00:19:11]
Dan Smigrod: you used the white linen.

[00:19:13]
Dan Smigrod: If I wanted a different color linen or I wanted

[00:19:17]
Dan Smigrod: two twin beds in that room, can I do all this?

[00:19:22]
Dan Smigrod: Is there a charge for that?

[00:19:23]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah. Two questions,

[00:19:25]
Steven Kounnas: so I'll answer separately.

[00:19:26]
Steven Kounnas: The first part with the naming conventions.

[00:19:31]
Steven Kounnas: There's a number of different ways to answer this question.

[00:19:34]
Steven Kounnas: You can have as many amendments [changes] as you require and that's completely free.

[00:19:39]
Steven Kounnas: We appreciate that some clients are

[00:19:42]
Steven Kounnas: pretty particular with the way that they want

[00:19:44]
Steven Kounnas: their spaces labeled and named and everything.

[00:19:47]
Steven Kounnas: Sometimes you just need to update something really quickly

[00:19:49]
Steven Kounnas: from bedroom one to a study or whatever it may be.

[00:19:53]
Steven Kounnas: All of those things are rapid turnaround and completely for free,

[00:19:56]
Steven Kounnas: because we want to make sure that you're getting

[00:19:57]
Steven Kounnas: the service back to you as quickly as possible.

[00:19:59]
Steven Kounnas: By us providing for free,

[00:20:01]
Steven Kounnas: it means that we're going to be more poignant and making sure that when we

[00:20:04]
Steven Kounnas: deliver it the first time is as close to perfect as possible.

[00:20:07]
Steven Kounnas: It's a win-win for everyone in that situation.

[00:20:09]
Steven Kounnas: To help with this whole process as well,

[00:20:11]
Steven Kounnas: we do provide a lexicon option.

[00:20:15]
Steven Kounnas: If you've got standards that you'd like to call carport garage,

[00:20:20]
Steven Kounnas: your bedrooms, your lounge rooms,

[00:20:21]
Steven Kounnas: and the rest of it, you can label those and that's not just for you as an individual,

[00:20:27]
Steven Kounnas: you could do that for each different client that you have.

[00:20:30]
Steven Kounnas: Each client may have different names that they like to use.

[00:20:32]
Steven Kounnas: We save that in the account against that client,

[00:20:35]
Steven Kounnas: every time you order a floor plan for them,

[00:20:36]
Steven Kounnas: we will use that and make sure that we deliver it back to the right labels.

[00:20:41]
Steven Kounnas: To the second part of that question around the virtual staging within the floor plan,

[00:20:45]
Steven Kounnas: I'll go back to this example to say it's a little bit better.

[00:20:47]
Steven Kounnas: Yes, you can change out.

[00:20:50]
Steven Kounnas: Let's say we're looking at the master bedroom.

[00:20:53]
Steven Kounnas: Can you please change this from a single bed to two singles and a queen? For instance.

[00:20:58]
Steven Kounnas: Our team can go in there and change those pieces around.

[00:21:01]
Steven Kounnas: We are slightly limited on complete customizations.

[00:21:05]
Steven Kounnas: I think there's over 10,000 assets within the database that we can utilize,

[00:21:08]
Steven Kounnas: but that doesn't mean it's got everything,

[00:21:10]
Steven Kounnas: and so we'll get something that's pretty close to what you're wanting,

[00:21:13]
Steven Kounnas: but it might not always be perfect,

[00:21:14]
Steven Kounnas: and that's just on the limitations of the technology.

[00:21:17]
Dan Smigrod: For $16, it seems like the deal of the century anyway.

[00:21:22]
Steven Kounnas: Good to know. I will let our team know because they keep creating those assets.

[00:21:30]
Steven Kounnas: We went through the 2D and-

[00:21:33]
Dan Smigrod: Forgive me, I think that with a third strategy to

[00:21:36]
Dan Smigrod: sell floor plans as an Add On with CAPTUR3D is to offer

[00:21:41]
Dan Smigrod: the 3D version as an extra bonus to a client because that certainly

[00:21:50]
Dan Smigrod: maybe something they either haven't seen before or

[00:21:55]
Dan Smigrod: makes the difference in helping them either get the listing,

[00:22:01]
Dan Smigrod: get the next listing or help make the sale on the property.

[00:22:05]
Steven Kounnas: Correct. Standing out from the crowd is the big one for them.

[00:22:11]
Steven Kounnas: The next one is different file formats.

[00:22:15]
Steven Kounnas: For the vast majority of what we've been speaking

[00:22:17]
Steven Kounnas: to prior has been very real estate focused.

[00:22:20]
Steven Kounnas: But there's a lot of other industries that utilizes

[00:22:22]
Steven Kounnas: floor plans outside of real estate for obvious reasons.

[00:22:26]
Steven Kounnas: With CAPTUR3D, we offer a wide range of file types.

[00:22:30]
Steven Kounnas: You can see them here on the left-hand side of this screen.

[00:22:33]
Steven Kounnas: I'll quickly go through where you could utilize

--

[00:22:36]
Steven Kounnas: these four different industries or different purposes.

[00:22:40]
Steven Kounnas: Your JPEGs and your PNGs

[00:22:47]
Steven Kounnas: are more for your print presentations.

[00:22:51]
Steven Kounnas: These are very hi-res images and are usually quite large in size.

[00:22:55]
Steven Kounnas: These are perfect for brochures or sign boards or

[00:22:58]
Steven Kounnas: anything that you're going to be creating at high resolution.

[00:23:02]
Steven Kounnas: Your GIFs and your PDFs are more of your low-res versions.

[00:23:06]
Steven Kounnas: Not that they're losing any bad quality,

[00:23:08]
Steven Kounnas: but this is more for web experiences.

[00:23:11]
Steven Kounnas: If you're putting it on a property portal or a website,

[00:23:13]
Steven Kounnas: making sure that it loads really quickly and efficiently,

[00:23:16]
Steven Kounnas: these are the file types that you want to be using in those circumstances.

[00:23:22]
Dan Smigrod: I'm confused on GIF because I always think

[00:23:24]
Dan Smigrod: of that as being there's some movement going on.

[00:23:28]
Steven Kounnas: Not necessarily. A GIF is

[00:23:30]
Steven Kounnas: just a different file format as an image that has a lightweight file format.

[00:23:33]
Steven Kounnas: It can be a moving format, but not always.

[00:23:35]
Dan Smigrod: Okay, cool.

[00:23:38]
Steven Kounnas: The next three steps outside of real estate into various industries,

[00:23:43]
Steven Kounnas: so RVTs stands for Revit.

[00:23:45]
Steven Kounnas: Anyone that's working within engineering space or architectural space,

[00:23:50]
Steven Kounnas: would use a 3D software tool that allows them to see the space,

[00:23:56]
Steven Kounnas: extrude the walls and then stop manipulating or editing it how they need.

[00:24:00]
Steven Kounnas: Revit is one of those key tools.

[00:24:03]
Steven Kounnas: The next one is CAD.

[00:24:04]
Steven Kounnas: It's very similar to Revit.

[00:24:06]
Steven Kounnas: There's a little bit more detailed.

[00:24:10]
Steven Kounnas: AutoCAD, for instance, is a really good software tool that ingests those floor plants.

[00:24:14]
Steven Kounnas: Again, it's more engineering and architectural for those spaces.

[00:24:18]
Steven Kounnas: The last one is the DWG.

[00:24:20]
Steven Kounnas: Again, all three of these are very similar format where it's more spatial,

[00:24:23]
Steven Kounnas: and 3D information allows you to edit

[00:24:27]
Steven Kounnas: and manipulate the floor plan once you've got it into a certain space to use.

[00:24:32]
Dan Smigrod: On the RVT, the CAD,

[00:24:35]
Dan Smigrod: the DWG, are these three dimensional floor plans that you're providing?

[00:24:39]
Dan Smigrod: Or is it a 2D version?

[00:24:43]
Dan Smigrod: Within a 3D format?

[00:24:46]
Steven Kounnas: It's a 2D version within a 3D format,

[00:24:49]
Steven Kounnas: but these 3D software tools,

[00:24:51]
Steven Kounnas: once you bring them in as 2D,

[00:24:53]
Steven Kounnas: you can pull the walls up pretty

[00:24:55]
Steven Kounnas: quickly based on the height of your walls going from there.

[00:24:59]
Steven Kounnas: The difficulty around creating a 3D floor plan,

[00:25:03]
Steven Kounnas: which we do under some circumstances, under requests,

[00:25:06]
Steven Kounnas: is once you start doing that,

[00:25:08]
Steven Kounnas: then you have to start adding the things like

[00:25:10]
Steven Kounnas: the windows and the doors exactly where they are.

[00:25:13]
Steven Kounnas: It brings in another layer of

[00:25:15]
Steven Kounnas: difficulty that we've decided to just stay away from at this point in time.

[00:25:20]
Dan Smigrod: The RVT, the Revit file,

[00:25:23]
Dan Smigrod: that might be a quick way for

[00:25:27]
Dan Smigrod: an architect to begin an As-Built or a renovation project.

[00:25:34]
Steven Kounnas: Correct.

[00:25:35]
Dan Smigrod: The architect is building on top of

[00:25:38]
Dan Smigrod: the existing floor plan without drawing it because it's already been drawn by you.

[00:25:48]
Steven Kounnas: Correct.

[00:25:48]
Dan Smigrod: I got it. Cool. Who would use a DWG file?

[00:25:54]
Dan Smigrod: Is that a space planner, typically?

[00:25:57]
Steven Kounnas: Space planner would be a good example for DWG.

[00:26:00]
Steven Kounnas: It's a lot more mobile version of a Revit file.

[00:26:03]
Steven Kounnas: Revit is quite complex to a certain extent,

[00:26:06]
Steven Kounnas: and so DWG is a lot more useful for individuals like space planners.

[00:26:12]
Steven Kounnas: We have a lot of customers using DWGs for fit-out purposes.

[00:26:17]
Steven Kounnas: They will scan empty office spaces and use a DWG,

[00:26:20]
Steven Kounnas: and then space planners would then create

[00:26:22]
Steven Kounnas: four or five different layers within that to show

[00:26:24]
Steven Kounnas: different types of co-working spaces or corporate

[00:26:27]
Steven Kounnas: or the different areas in which they could utilize the area.

[00:26:30]
Dan Smigrod: Cool. Anything else on the floor plan files?

[00:26:37]
Dan Smigrod: I guess I should ask one question while you're here.

[00:26:40]
Dan Smigrod: The actual dimensions of the deliverable,

[00:26:47]
Dan Smigrod: can that be changed?

[00:26:49]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, and it does need to be changed as well.

[00:26:52]
Steven Kounnas: It goes back to the point that I was making before that

[00:26:55]
Steven Kounnas: each region has different specifics that they needed the floor plans under.

[00:26:59]
Steven Kounnas: I'm not an expert on each region,

[00:27:02]
Steven Kounnas: but I appreciate that in some areas you need to go to the exterior wall,

[00:27:08]
Steven Kounnas: some is the interior wall, some include

[00:27:09]
Steven Kounnas: the garage as part of the total area, some don't.

[00:27:12]
Steven Kounnas: Any areas that heated is considered part of the floor plan space.

[00:27:16]
Steven Kounnas: Each place is different.

[00:27:17]
Steven Kounnas: So what we like to do for our customers is understand,

[00:27:21]
Steven Kounnas: firstly, the region that they're in,

[00:27:22]
Steven Kounnas: and we've probably got the standards for that region.

[00:27:24]
Steven Kounnas: But if not, we'll communicate with them to understand what

[00:27:27]
Steven Kounnas: they would need to see out of that floor plan and how it's measured.

[00:27:30]
Steven Kounnas: We can provide that action quite easily.

[00:27:33]
Dan Smigrod: I'm thinking in terms of the MLS systems having in the United States,

[00:27:37]
Dan Smigrod: the multiple listing services,

[00:27:38]
Dan Smigrod: having different sizes for photography,

[00:27:42]
Dan Smigrod: and therefore, I may want to treat a floor plan as

[00:27:45]
Dan Smigrod: a photo and just import it into the MLS,

[00:27:49]
Dan Smigrod: treat it like yet another photo.

[00:27:52]
Dan Smigrod: I want it to be sized accordingly,

[00:27:56]
Dan Smigrod: and so I can specify that upfront when I place an order?

[00:28:01]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, definitely. If you understand

[00:28:02]
Steven Kounnas: the aspect ratios and the size of the images that you're placing in,

[00:28:07]
Steven Kounnas: we can replicate that on the export so far.

[00:28:10]
Dan Smigrod: Cool. That actually begs another question for MLS is,

[00:28:14]
Dan Smigrod: it's awesome to have the logos on

[00:28:18]
Dan Smigrod: the floor plan for the purpose of selling the floor plan into

[00:28:24]
Dan Smigrod: the real estate agent to be able to

[00:28:29]
Dan Smigrod: always have their branding when possible when sharing with their clients and prospects.

[00:28:35]
Dan Smigrod: But obviously, for MLS,

[00:28:37]
Dan Smigrod: they can't include the logo.

[00:28:39]
Dan Smigrod: Do you provide for the $16 a version that's with logo and a version without?

[00:28:46]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, it's a really good question.

[00:28:47]
Steven Kounnas: Yes, we do, for that exact purpose.

[00:28:52]
Steven Kounnas: It's under request on the order,

[00:28:54]
Steven Kounnas: please provide one logo and without logo,

[00:28:57]
Steven Kounnas: and the team does just that.

[00:29:00]
Steven Kounnas: It's exactly the way that you've explained it.

[00:29:01]
Steven Kounnas: You have your marketing version and

[00:29:02]
Steven Kounnas: then your MLS version as well that you can easily upload.

[00:29:05]
Steven Kounnas: From our point of view, our team obviously creates it with all the logos and everything.

[00:29:09]
Steven Kounnas: It looks beautiful, exports that,

[00:29:11]
Steven Kounnas: removes all of the things that can't be approved by MLS,

[00:29:14]
Steven Kounnas: then exploits that as a second file,

[00:29:15]
Steven Kounnas: and do those both under the file formats that you require.

[00:29:19]
Dan Smigrod: That's interesting. I notice on the left side of your sheet there,

[00:29:23]
Dan Smigrod: it says "Available File Types."

[00:29:27]
Dan Smigrod: If I just need JPEG or PNG,

[00:29:30]
Dan Smigrod: I can just specify which file formats,

[00:29:33]
Dan Smigrod: so that I'm not overwhelmed with

[00:29:35]
Dan Smigrod: yet additional digital assets that I may not need/want to use.

[00:29:40]
Dan Smigrod: I might say I would like branded and unbranded PNG, JPEG,

[00:29:47]
Dan Smigrod: but if I don't need PDF,

[00:29:49]
Dan Smigrod: RVT, CAD,

[00:29:51]
Dan Smigrod: DWG, etc.,

[00:29:52]
Dan Smigrod: I can just specify the file formats out of that list that I want.

[00:29:57]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, correct. If you did nothing,

[00:29:58]
Steven Kounnas: we deliver back a JPEG and a PDF version of

[00:30:01]
Steven Kounnas: every floor plan as default at hi-res and digital versions,

[00:30:05]
Steven Kounnas: but you can always edit and change that,

[00:30:07]
Steven Kounnas: depending on what is it that you require.

[00:30:09]
Dan Smigrod: When you have multiple floors,

[00:30:13]
Dan Smigrod: are the floors delivered as individual PNG files,

[00:30:16]
Dan Smigrod: or is it all ganged together on one page?

[00:30:21]
Steven Kounnas: That's up to the discretion of whoever is ordering it.

[00:30:25]
Steven Kounnas: Some people and some companies like them altogether on a single page,

[00:30:28]
Steven Kounnas: some like them all on individuals,

[00:30:29]
Steven Kounnas: and some like both versions available to them.

[00:30:32]
Steven Kounnas: Again, that's part of the request that you can make on order,

[00:30:35]
Steven Kounnas: then you place each floor on a different page,

[00:30:38]
Steven Kounnas: place them together, give me versions of both.

[00:30:40]
Steven Kounnas: Or if this does happen quite regularly, again,

[00:30:42]
Steven Kounnas: we set up templates for our customers,

[00:30:43]
Steven Kounnas: so they can just click a button. That's easy for us to do.

[00:30:47]
Dan Smigrod: What I'm hearing is, there's just one price. It's $16.

[00:30:50]
Dan Smigrod: It doesn't matter what size, space it is,

[00:30:56]
Dan Smigrod: it doesn't matter whether it's in feet and inches or metric,

[00:31:02]
Dan Smigrod: labels, no labels, branded,

[00:31:06]
Dan Smigrod: unbranded, 3D, 2D, site plan,

[00:31:11]
Dan Smigrod: various floor plans, file types,

[00:31:15]
Dan Smigrod: it's all one price, all inclusive, $16.

[00:31:20]
Steven Kounnas: Let's make it easy, but yes.

[00:31:24]
Dan Smigrod: That's my impression. I go,

[00:31:25]
Dan Smigrod: wow, well, that was super-easy.

[00:31:27]
Dan Smigrod: I don't have to think about all the different permutations that I might be creating.

[00:31:31]
Dan Smigrod: Not that I want to suggest that you're not

[00:31:33]
Dan Smigrod: charging enough and you might want to increase pricing,

[00:31:36]
Dan Smigrod: because $16 sounds like the deal of the century.

[00:31:42]
Dan Smigrod: It's probably, even if I may just staring at this page,

[00:31:45]
Dan Smigrod: because in the back of my head, I think,

[00:31:47]
Dan Smigrod: well, I can order Matterport floor plans for $15.

[00:31:54]
Dan Smigrod: If I pay $1 more,

[00:31:58]
Dan Smigrod: I get so many other opportunities.

[00:32:01]
Dan Smigrod: Matterport, I'm limited to $15 for under 10,000 square feet.

[00:32:09]
Dan Smigrod: Then if I want to get a space that's over 10,000 square feet,

[00:32:17]
Dan Smigrod: it's going to cost me $30.

[00:32:19]
Dan Smigrod: Then if it's over 25,000 square feet,

[00:32:22]
Dan Smigrod: Matterport won't even touch it.

[00:32:25]
Dan Smigrod: Then in terms of file formats,

[00:32:27]
Dan Smigrod: Matterport's going to only give me PNG,

[00:32:30]
Dan Smigrod: SVG, and PDF in black and white.

[00:32:36]
Dan Smigrod: There's no option for color.

[00:32:42]
Dan Smigrod: Not only does it come with the Matterport logo,

[00:32:45]
Dan Smigrod: my licensing of using Matterport assets requires that

[00:32:49]
Dan Smigrod: I keep that Matterport logo on the floor plan and not remove the Matterport logo.

[00:32:55]
Dan Smigrod: For $1 more,

[00:32:59]
Dan Smigrod: I get site plans included, color,

[00:33:06]
Dan Smigrod: additional file types, not limited in terms of size,

[00:33:10]
Dan Smigrod: I can have the text that I want,

[00:33:12]
Dan Smigrod: format it the way I want with unlimited I guess you'd call it amendments,

[00:33:17]
Dan Smigrod: I would call it unlimited changes,

[00:33:21]
Dan Smigrod: and there's just one price.

[00:33:25]
Steven Kounnas: - That's correct.

[00:33:26]
Dan Smigrod: - Yeah. I just have to say,

[00:33:30]
Dan Smigrod: any of our WGAN-TV viewers that are looking at this page,

[00:33:35]
Dan Smigrod: listening to this conversation,

[00:33:37]
Dan Smigrod: if you're presently using Matterport to create your floor plans,

[00:33:41]
Dan Smigrod: run - don't walk - to CAPTUR3D or by the way,

[00:33:45]
Dan Smigrod: you can try it out again,

[00:33:47]
Dan Smigrod: you can receive a $90 CAPTUR3D credit.

[00:33:52]
Dan Smigrod: It's good for five CAPTUR3D floor plans,

[00:33:55]
Dan Smigrod: plus you'll still have change leftover.

[00:33:57]
Dan Smigrod: Use the WGAN affiliate link: WGAN.INFO/CAPTUR3D

[00:34:06]
Dan Smigrod: That's really awesome.

[00:34:11]
Dan Smigrod: What else have you got to show us?

[00:34:14]
Steven Kounnas: - What's in my next slide here?

[00:34:16]
Steven Kounnas: Just to your point, I guess it's where we started out as a

[00:34:20]
Steven Kounnas: MSP. Before we started creating floor plans and things like that, at CAPTUR3D.

[00:34:27]
Steven Kounnas: We started to find so much value in our floor plans,

[00:34:29]
Steven Kounnas: but we found it really difficult to find a really good floor plan provider,

[00:34:31]
Steven Kounnas: and that's why we started CAPTUR3D in the beginning.

[00:34:33]
Steven Kounnas: This was one of the first services that we brought on board.

[00:34:36]
Steven Kounnas: Our philosophy has always been,

[00:34:37]
Steven Kounnas: do the opposite to the things

[00:34:40]
Steven Kounnas: that have frustrated us by the clients that we had to work with in the past.

[00:34:43]
Steven Kounnas: That's why we have those single pricings and a lot of offerings that we do create,

[00:34:48]
Steven Kounnas: because we know that it's a lot easier for you to understand, but then also to sell.

[00:34:52]
Steven Kounnas: Our goal isn't for us to make mountains of money,

[00:34:54]
Steven Kounnas: we want to make good with

[00:34:56]
Steven Kounnas: our customers to be able to create value for them to be able to make money,

[00:34:58]
Steven Kounnas: because that's a win-win-win triangle for everyone.

[00:35:02]
Steven Kounnas: The last part here that we can just touch on,

[00:35:04]
Steven Kounnas: templates which we've been touching on throughout

[00:35:05]
Steven Kounnas: the whole piece but it's also fast turnaround.

[00:35:08]
Steven Kounnas: We appreciate that things need to be happening really quickly.

[00:35:12]
Steven Kounnas: We'll have floor plans delivered within 24 hours.

[00:35:16]
Steven Kounnas: To be fair, usually between 12 hours unless they're super large floor plans.

[00:35:21]
Steven Kounnas: They're back within your hands usually overnight if you're ordering overnight.

[00:35:26]
Steven Kounnas: As we're talking about free changes or amendments,

[00:35:28]
Steven Kounnas: all of those have rapid turnaround times within it.

[00:35:32]
Steven Kounnas: We've talked about the templates. You can have as many

[00:35:33]
Steven Kounnas: of these as you like, completely unlimited.

[00:35:35]
Steven Kounnas: If you have 1,000 customers and each one of them has

[00:35:38]
Steven Kounnas: a different design that they would like to use,

[00:35:41]
Steven Kounnas: we can replicate that and have it as

[00:35:43]
Steven Kounnas: a one-click option each time you create a virtual tool for them.

[00:35:46]
Steven Kounnas: One click, within 12 hours you have their design back to them.

[00:35:49]
Dan Smigrod: - Two questions from looking at this page here, Steven.

[00:35:58]
Dan Smigrod: This is all based on Matterport.

[00:35:59]
Dan Smigrod: If I submit my Matterport tour,

[00:36:04]
Dan Smigrod: the tour's been processed,

[00:36:05]
Dan Smigrod: I send it to CAPTUR3D before I leave the office,

[00:36:13]
Dan Smigrod: let's call it 6 PM ET.

[00:36:16]
Dan Smigrod: When I wake up,

[00:36:18]
Dan Smigrod: I typically should have the CAPTUR3D floor plan waiting for me.

[00:36:23]
Steven Kounnas: - That's the goal.

[00:36:24]
Dan Smigrod: - In the majority of the case.

[00:36:27]
Dan Smigrod: Then second, actually, two things.

[00:36:31]
Dan Smigrod: We've been talking about, first,

[00:36:35]
Dan Smigrod: on Matterport, CAPTUR3D can't begin work until the floor plan is ready.

[00:36:46]
Dan Smigrod: Can I just say to CAPTUR3D, "Hey!

[00:36:49]
Dan Smigrod: Here's the link. When it processes,

[00:36:53]
Dan Smigrod: please get started."

[00:36:54]
Dan Smigrod: Or, do I have to wait until Matterport processes before I communicate with CAPTUR3D?

[00:36:59]
Steven Kounnas: - No, it's actually really a good point.

[00:37:01]
Steven Kounnas: Would you like me to take you through a couple of

[00:37:03]
Steven Kounnas: different ways that you can order a floor plan?

[00:37:06]
Dan Smigrod: - While you're setting up,

[00:37:09]
Dan Smigrod: I guess the other question I had on that is if I have a sketch,

[00:37:14]
Dan Smigrod: can you work off of a sketch?

[00:37:16]
Dan Smigrod: Sketch with some maybe a couple of laser measurements on some key rooms.

[00:37:22]
Dan Smigrod: Is that sufficient?

[00:37:24]
Steven Kounnas: - Yeah, it is. All three of those questions are

[00:37:28]
Steven Kounnas: actually really well aligned with the way that our system is thought through and created.

[00:37:33]
Steven Kounnas: For those of you who know CAPTUR3D, this is the dashboard.

[00:37:36]
Steven Kounnas: This is where all the action happens.

[00:37:38]
Steven Kounnas: There are a number of [WGAN-TV shows] going through each of the features.

[00:37:41]
Steven Kounnas: A number of shows that we've done together with Dan, where

[00:37:44]
Steven Kounnas: we go through a number of the features that we've got here.

[00:37:47]
Steven Kounnas: For anything to start, click on the "New".

[00:37:49]
Steven Kounnas: We're going to jump into the Floor Plan section here to begin with,

[00:37:52]
Steven Kounnas: but I'll go through how you could use the other ones to also get

[00:37:55]
Steven Kounnas: your floor plans as quickly as possible back to you.

[00:38:00]
Steven Kounnas: At this point here, you can see here there's

[00:38:02]
Steven Kounnas: two options from a Matterport URL or from a file.

[00:38:06]
Steven Kounnas: To your point, just then, Dan,

[00:38:08]
Steven Kounnas: if you'd like to draw it out and then create

[00:38:11]
Steven Kounnas: the measurements or however it is that you're creating your floor plan,

[00:38:15]
Steven Kounnas: or if you've even got your building schematics,

[00:38:18]
Steven Kounnas: this happens a fair bit where people have done a renovation and they've got

[00:38:20]
Steven Kounnas: the building plans and they want to convert that

[00:38:23]
Steven Kounnas: into a more real estate focused floor plan.

[00:38:26]
Steven Kounnas: Upload that file, and we can then send it back to you in the format that you require.

[00:38:31]
Steven Kounnas: If we go down the route of the Matterport side,

[00:38:33]
Steven Kounnas: do I have a link for both? No, I don't.

[00:38:34]
Steven Kounnas: You put your Matterport URL in and your address.

[00:38:37]
Steven Kounnas: Pretty simple, because we need this for the site plan,

[00:38:41]
Steven Kounnas: and also any of the other information around your region.

[00:38:44]
Steven Kounnas: This is telling me that I'm here in Melbourne, Australia or Victoria.

[00:38:49]
Steven Kounnas: We talked about this at the top around CAPTUR3D

[00:38:52]
Steven Kounnas: providing a number of templates that you could use off the bat.

[00:38:56]
Steven Kounnas: You can see here our standard templates.

[00:38:59]
Steven Kounnas: This is the 3D floor and site plan.

[00:39:01]
Steven Kounnas: If you click on it, you get a quick example here on

[00:39:03]
Steven Kounnas: the left-hand side of the ones that we're looking at.

[00:39:05]
Steven Kounnas: This one is the square foot version.

[00:39:08]
Steven Kounnas: We've also got the square meter ones.

[00:39:10]
Steven Kounnas: The floor and site plans.

[00:39:11]
Steven Kounnas: We went through this one before as well,

[00:39:13]
Steven Kounnas: both in square foot and imperial.

[00:39:15]
Steven Kounnas: We've got the standard floor plan as well,

[00:39:20]
Steven Kounnas: both in square foot and in metric.

[00:39:22]
Steven Kounnas: Then all the ones below here are all the ones that we've got

[00:39:26]
Steven Kounnas: as our custom ones that we've uploaded at one point in time.

[00:39:30]
Steven Kounnas: If I was to look at my French template,

[00:39:32]
Steven Kounnas: for instance, it looks like it's a PDF in there or Jellis Craig.

[00:39:36]
Steven Kounnas: Let me find one of the other ones here.

[00:39:40]
Steven Kounnas: That would do.

[00:39:42]
Steven Kounnas: There we go. My templates don't want to be coming up but they're all sitting within them.

[00:39:47]
Steven Kounnas: You select one of those as your option that you would like to create it.

[00:39:51]
Steven Kounnas: I didn't even notice that we're discussing before so leave the room labels off,

[00:39:59]
Steven Kounnas: whatever may be and that's for disposal.

[00:40:03]
Steven Kounnas: You could also upload any additional files that may help.

[00:40:06]
Steven Kounnas: This is where you would upload your drawn image potentially,

[00:40:08]
Steven Kounnas: or anything that you would need to add into the section.

[00:40:13]
Dan Smigrod: I'm not limited to one upload,

[00:40:14]
Dan Smigrod: so if I want to upload a logo and maybe I

[00:40:18]
Dan Smigrod: have some other drawing that might be helpful.

[00:40:24]
Dan Smigrod: Maybe I have a 2D photo of the backyard,

[00:40:28]
Dan Smigrod: I don't have the aerial,

[00:40:29]
Dan Smigrod: but I have it and I don't have a 360 scan but I got a couple of pictures,

[00:40:33]
Dan Smigrod: I could upload them there as well.

[00:40:35]
Steven Kounnas: Correct. That's exactly right,

[00:40:38]
Steven Kounnas: and if they're usually one off,

[00:40:39]
Steven Kounnas: that's the exact place to do it.

[00:40:40]
Steven Kounnas: But if you're going to be doing it consistently,

[00:40:43]
Steven Kounnas: we ask that you create a custom template.

[00:40:45]
Steven Kounnas: If I click on here,

[00:40:49]
Steven Kounnas: so creating a template, you give it a name.

[00:40:52]
Steven Kounnas: You could even use an existing plan,

[00:40:54]
Steven Kounnas: so let's say that this one is using

[00:40:57]
Steven Kounnas: our standard floor and site plan that you see here on the left-hand side.

[00:41:01]
Steven Kounnas: You could upload your logo and ask us to put it on the top left,

[00:41:05]
Steven Kounnas: bottom right, in the middle;

[00:41:06]
Steven Kounnas: do it as a watermark, for instance and then save

[00:41:09]
Steven Kounnas: that as a specific template through that option.

[00:41:13]
Dan Smigrod: This is the page I would use to say, client A,

[00:41:17]
Dan Smigrod: these colors, these logos,

[00:41:19]
Dan Smigrod: this disclaimer, this following text.

[00:41:23]
Dan Smigrod: Whether I want lit room labels,

[00:41:26]
Dan Smigrod: whether I want measurements, etc.

[00:41:29]
Dan Smigrod: Then I could keep doing this client B, Client C,

[00:41:32]
Dan Smigrod: client D. I have templates so if I understand this correctly,

[00:41:38]
Dan Smigrod: what CAPTUR3D is doing is creating super-fast workflows.

[00:41:43]
Dan Smigrod: That it's assuming that I'm just going to keep placing orders for each of these clients,

[00:41:49]
Dan Smigrod: and let's just make it easy for everyone by having a template for clients,

[00:41:54]
Dan Smigrod: A, B, C,

[00:41:55]
Dan Smigrod: D, E, F, and so forth.

[00:41:58]
Steven Kounnas: Correct. It's a volume game for a lot of it real estate.

[00:42:01]
Steven Kounnas: The quicker you can create your processes and pipelines,

[00:42:05]
Steven Kounnas: the easier your life's going to be,

[00:42:06]
Steven Kounnas: and more time you can spend with your family.

[00:42:10]
Steven Kounnas: That's adding a logo or items to an existing plan, but then obviously,

[00:42:14]
Steven Kounnas: the simplest version is to upload a completely customized floor plan,

[00:42:18]
Steven Kounnas: something that they may be already using or something that you see

[00:42:20]
Steven Kounnas: as being beautiful and would like to offer your clients as well.

[00:42:24]
Steven Kounnas: You upload that floor plan,

[00:42:25]
Steven Kounnas: our team receives it, breaks it all apart,

[00:42:28]
Steven Kounnas: gets the fonts, the colors,

[00:42:29]
Steven Kounnas: and builds it back together in their design software and so when an order comes in,

[00:42:33]
Steven Kounnas: they're ready to go with that design.

[00:42:34]
Dan Smigrod: Yeah, just watching the show today.

[00:42:37]
Dan Smigrod: It's quite inspiring for me, Steven,

[00:42:39]
Dan Smigrod: because I said, "As you were talking,

[00:42:43]
Dan Smigrod: I could upload the architect's plans for a space that doesn't even exist

[00:42:49]
Dan Smigrod: yet and get back 2D schematic floor plans that are marketing appropriate,

[00:42:57]
Dan Smigrod: as well as a 3D staged space for a space that doesn't exist yet.

[00:43:05]
Steven Kounnas: Correct.

[00:43:06]
Dan Smigrod: Which means I don't have to wait for when I'm talking to

[00:43:09]
Dan Smigrod: a property management company that says,

[00:43:17]
Dan Smigrod: "Come back and scan in about six months when the space is ready for you."

[00:43:24]
Dan Smigrod: I can help that client today by saying, "Hey,

[00:43:28]
Dan Smigrod: we can create these 2D floor plans,

[00:43:31]
Dan Smigrod: these 3D floor plans, this site plan.

[00:43:35]
Dan Smigrod: All we need is your architect's drawings and we can take it from there."

[00:43:41]
Steven Kounnas: Exactly right.

[00:43:42]
Dan Smigrod: Cool. Pricing strategies. You went through,

[00:43:48]
Dan Smigrod: I counted: 7 Strategies,

[00:43:49]
Dan Smigrod: to Sell Floor Plans as an Add On with CAPTUR3D.

[00:43:53]
Dan Smigrod: I get it. Now,

[00:43:54]
Dan Smigrod: how do I price floor plans to our clients?

[00:43:58]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, again, this is going to be regions specific and even within different countries.

[00:44:03]
Steven Kounnas: Like Australia as an example,

[00:44:04]
Steven Kounnas: because I've got it good standing here because obviously I live here.

[00:44:08]
Steven Kounnas: Each state is different and metro cities to rural,

[00:44:11]
Steven Kounnas: everyone has different pricing strategies.

[00:44:14]
Steven Kounnas: But the way that we say it here in Australia and in a lot of parts of the world,

[00:44:19]
Steven Kounnas: what a standard floor plan used to cost before

[00:44:21]
Steven Kounnas: Matterport was a thing where people were doing with a laser and drawer,

[00:44:24]
Steven Kounnas: is about what a virtual tour costs these days in a lot of different areas.

[00:44:28]
Steven Kounnas: So you're able to offer in this virtual tour and

[00:44:31]
Steven Kounnas: these byproducts of what they usually used to receive in being

[00:44:35]
Steven Kounnas: a floor plan either at a small margin or to be able to

[00:44:38]
Steven Kounnas: use that as a tool to win that listing and then over time,

[00:44:42]
Steven Kounnas: build a repore with the client to then bring that

[00:44:44]
Steven Kounnas: back into the fray as a paid service as well.

[00:44:49]
Steven Kounnas: ... Again, it could be anything

[00:44:52]
Steven Kounnas: from $50-$500 depending on where you are for a standard floor plan.

[00:44:56]
Steven Kounnas: There's a lot of room to wiggle,

[00:44:57]
Steven Kounnas: especially when you're only being charged $16 to create it.

[00:45:02]
Dan Smigrod: This is a super-important point because

[00:45:05]
Dan Smigrod: I think it may be tempting for photographers to say,

[00:45:08]
Dan Smigrod: "It's cost me $16,

[00:45:09]
Dan Smigrod: I'll mark it up double,

[00:45:11]
Dan Smigrod: I'll mark it up triple."

[00:45:15]
Dan Smigrod: Stop right there!

[00:45:17]
Dan Smigrod: You may be talking to a client that's already spending $200, $300, $400.

[00:45:24]
Dan Smigrod: I've met a photographer at one point who was charging clients $500 to create floor plans,

[00:45:31]
Dan Smigrod: just like what Steven is showing,

[00:45:33]
Dan Smigrod: but without having the benefit of a Matterport tour to create it.

[00:45:38]
Dan Smigrod: He would go out and measure the space and

[00:45:41]
Dan Smigrod: then go back to the drafters and it would cost $500.

[00:45:45]
Dan Smigrod: This is probably a good example of think value-based pricing,

[00:45:50]
Dan Smigrod: not what your actual cost was.

[00:45:56]
Dan Smigrod: Do you want to pick it up from there?

[00:45:57]
Dan Smigrod: Do you have other pricing strategies to describe?

[00:46:02]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah.

[00:46:03]
Dan Smigrod: Let's call that one value-based pricing.

[00:46:06]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, there's also almost like a reverse version

[00:46:08]
Steven Kounnas: of that as well where you're selling the virtual tour

[00:46:12]
Steven Kounnas: but offering a floor plan as an Add On to that virtual tour.

[00:46:17]
Steven Kounnas: We see with a lot of customers that are scanning purely for a floor plan and so you do

[00:46:22]
Steven Kounnas: scan slightly differently and it's more rapid because

[00:46:25]
Steven Kounnas: you're not using it for the virtual tour, the client might not want it.

[00:46:27]
Steven Kounnas: But it's a lot quicker and a lot cheaper for you to use

[00:46:30]
Steven Kounnas: the Matterport to then output floor plan,

[00:46:32]
Steven Kounnas: then using traditional methods as well.

[00:46:34]
Steven Kounnas: Having that in your mind,

[00:46:36]
Steven Kounnas: if they just wanted a floor plan,

[00:46:38]
Steven Kounnas: how you could quickly get through a property,

[00:46:40]
Steven Kounnas: not doing all the intricate details and things like that to output

[00:46:42]
Steven Kounnas: a floor plan is also a really useful tool to know and remember.

[00:46:47]
Dan Smigrod: In that case, you're still using Matterport to do CAPTUR3D[floor plans].

[00:46:52]
Dan Smigrod: Just makes it easier for the photographer,

[00:46:54]
Dan Smigrod: and probably makes it easier for CAPTUR3D as a drafter.

[00:47:00]
Dan Smigrod: Let's just say you're going to charge $499 for a floor plan,

[00:47:05]
Dan Smigrod: let's just pick a number.

[00:47:06]
Dan Smigrod: You might say, and, we'll give you the Matterport tour for free.

[00:47:13]
Steven Kounnas: Potentially.

[00:47:16]
Dan Smigrod: Let's say, you're in a market where you're charging $250 for a Matterport tour,

[00:47:22]
Dan Smigrod: it may not be inconceivable to be charging $250 for floor plans as well.

[00:47:29]
Dan Smigrod: You may as an Add On,

[00:47:33]
Dan Smigrod: double the amount of revenue that you get for that property,

[00:47:39]
Dan Smigrod: but it may be for a particular client.

[00:47:41]
Dan Smigrod: It may make sense to just simply quote

[00:47:45]
Dan Smigrod: $499 for the floor plan and then Matterport tours for free?

[00:47:53]
Steven Kounnas: Exactly. I think, you hit the nail on the head for particular clients and you'll

[00:47:58]
Steven Kounnas: be working with your clients and understanding them better

[00:48:00]
Steven Kounnas: than us because you understand what they're going through,

[00:48:03]
Steven Kounnas: what their price points are, and what they look to spend?

[00:48:06]
Steven Kounnas: For some customers here, you go provide

[00:48:08]
Steven Kounnas: the exact same services and just processing it differently

[00:48:11]
Steven Kounnas: or framing it differently helps them digest the information

[00:48:14]
Steven Kounnas: and then potentially even sell it onto their Marketing Managers,

[00:48:16]
Steven Kounnas: or Directors, or principals,

[00:48:17]
Steven Kounnas: or whoever they need to do as well, it's really important.

[00:48:20]
Steven Kounnas: But the one thing that when speaking to a lot of

[00:48:21]
Steven Kounnas: the clients that do offer the floor plan,

[00:48:24]
Steven Kounnas: we've got the virtual tour.

[00:48:26]
Steven Kounnas: When I used to speak to them, but they remind me that they don't often like to give away

[00:48:31]
Steven Kounnas: the virtual tour because then it reduces

[00:48:33]
Steven Kounnas: the perceived value of what you can create in this Matterport.

[00:48:37]
Steven Kounnas: It's still there if you'd like to buy it,

[00:48:38]
Steven Kounnas: but I really did like your strategy there of just combining

[00:48:41]
Steven Kounnas: it all as like all for one price.

[00:48:44]
Steven Kounnas: This is everything that you get, that's a really good idea.

[00:48:48]
Dan Smigrod: Again, I think as you described Steven,

[00:48:50]
Dan Smigrod: it's going to depend on the listing, the market,

[00:48:53]
Dan Smigrod: the service level, the client, the client's needs.

[00:48:57]
Dan Smigrod: I think, it's really important to listen to if the client just wants

[00:49:00]
Dan Smigrod: floor plans and they don't want a tour, that's perfectly fine.

[00:49:04]
Dan Smigrod: Offer them floor plans: charge accordingly

[00:49:07]
Dan Smigrod: and your byproduct happens to be a Matterport tour,

[00:49:10]
Dan Smigrod: maybe, that becomes the Add On to the floor plan.

[00:49:14]
Dan Smigrod: If you're going to decide to say,

[00:49:15]
Dan Smigrod: "Well, I think I could get $350."

[00:49:19]
Dan Smigrod: I always speaking nine,

[00:49:20]
Dan Smigrod: so I would say $349.

[00:49:23]
Dan Smigrod: If you think you can get $349 for the floor plan,

[00:49:28]
Dan Smigrod: excuse me, you may have a price to offer the Matterport is as an Add On.

[00:49:32]
Dan Smigrod: I'm just flipping it around,

[00:49:34]
Dan Smigrod: it's still maybe Matterport plus floor plan equals the same price.

[00:49:38]
Dan Smigrod: Whether you've ordered the floor plan only,

[00:49:40]
Dan Smigrod: the Matterport only,

[00:49:42]
Dan Smigrod: the floor plan is the primary and the Matterport is

[00:49:45]
Dan Smigrod: the Add On or I've ordered a Matterport and the floor plan is an Add On.

[00:49:50]
Dan Smigrod: It actually happen.

[00:49:53]
Dan Smigrod: Because a lot of times people post to the We Get Around Network Forum,

[00:49:56]
Dan Smigrod: wganforum.com to say, "Hey,

[00:49:59]
Dan Smigrod: my client just needs a floor plan."

[00:50:03]
Dan Smigrod: How do you suggest I do that?

[00:50:06]
Dan Smigrod: The answer still maybe shoot Matterport in order to get the floor plan.

[00:50:11]
Dan Smigrod: It maybe a quick easy way.

[00:50:14]
Dan Smigrod: Then you still have an opportunity after

[00:50:16]
Dan Smigrod: you've delivered the floor plan to come back to the client and say,

[00:50:20]
Dan Smigrod: "Oh, by the way, if you'd like to 3D tour,

[00:50:22]
Dan Smigrod: that's an extra X,

[00:50:23]
Dan Smigrod: would you like that?"

[00:50:25]
Dan Smigrod: Still, we will have an Add On.

[00:50:28]
Steven Kounnas: I think, everyone would have gone through this experience

[00:50:30]
Steven Kounnas: starting as an MSP or Matterport business at one point.

[00:50:33]
Steven Kounnas: Having a client that is objective to the service,

[00:50:36]
Steven Kounnas: but then you scan something for them and you show

[00:50:38]
Steven Kounnas: them in their own space or their own property,

[00:50:40]
Steven Kounnas: or something of this being in Matterport virtual tour,

[00:50:43]
Steven Kounnas: and all of a sudden, that immediately changes like, "Wow! This is amazing."

[00:50:47]
Steven Kounnas: Because they'll finally saying something that's theirs in that space and you can use that

[00:50:51]
Steven Kounnas: a lot with these initial conversations

[00:50:53]
Steven Kounnas: and starting off with your client where you're offering them a floor plan.

[00:50:56]
Steven Kounnas: By the way, I created this and they are like,

[00:50:58]
Steven Kounnas: "Oh!" Then you dive into the pricing and build that relationship over time,

[00:51:01]
Steven Kounnas: so it becomes the standard for them to start ordering off you.

[00:51:05]
Dan Smigrod: There you have, Matterport tour is the discussion today:

[00:51:08]
Dan Smigrod: 7 Strategies to Sell Floor Plans as an Add On [with CAPTUR3D]

[00:51:10]
Dan Smigrod: but it doesn't mean that Matterport can't be the Add On,

[00:51:15]
Dan Smigrod: it just that your client started with; they wanted floor plans.

[00:51:18]
Dan Smigrod: Use Matterport. Shoot the Tour.

[00:51:22]
Dan Smigrod: Create the floor plan.

[00:51:23]
Dan Smigrod: And know that you might be able to offer Matterport as an Add On.

[00:51:26]
Dan Smigrod: Other pricing strategies for floor plans as an Add On?

[00:51:32]
Steven Kounnas: Other pricing strategies for the floor plans?

[00:51:34]
Steven Kounnas: We're talking about before with the value of

[00:51:37]
Steven Kounnas: the 3D floor plan along with the 2D version as well.

[00:51:44]
Steven Kounnas: It's a two-for-one perceived value when you're offering these to your clients,

[00:51:48]
Steven Kounnas: you've mentioned it just before as well.

[00:51:50]
Steven Kounnas: Just because we're charging $16 doesn't mean that,

[00:51:52]
Steven Kounnas: we need to charge double or triple.

[00:51:55]
Steven Kounnas: Those two floor plans hold immense value from

[00:51:57]
Steven Kounnas: a marketing point of view and from standards point of view in some cases,

[00:52:01]
Steven Kounnas: the listing: without a schematic flow plan.

[00:52:04]
Steven Kounnas: You're able to provide a lot of value to those clients and, therefore,

[00:52:07]
Steven Kounnas: charging accordingly for this too or even pricing it at a high-level.

[00:52:13]
Steven Kounnas: These individually costs $100 each, so $200.

[00:52:17]
Steven Kounnas: But today, I'll give you 50 percent off,

[00:52:19]
Steven Kounnas: so I'll provide you both floor plans for a $100.

[00:52:22]
Steven Kounnas: Those pricing techniques provided a perceived value to

[00:52:25]
Steven Kounnas: your client with enough of a margin for you to still have value in your business.

[00:52:31]
Dan Smigrod: Excellent points. I'm going to comment, I think,

[00:52:34]
Dan Smigrod: on a number of things you've just described,

[00:52:36]
Dan Smigrod: Steven, and feel free to coming back here.

[00:52:39]
Dan Smigrod: At the end of the day, I know we're going to have viewers that say,

[00:52:41]
Dan Smigrod: "Please, just tell me how much to charge."

[00:52:43]
Dan Smigrod: I'm going to throw out some numbers for the United States: $49,

[00:52:48]
Dan Smigrod: $99, $149,

[00:52:52]
Dan Smigrod: $249, $299, $349,

[00:52:58]
Dan Smigrod: $399, $449, $499.

[00:53:06]
Dan Smigrod: Someplace in there is a price point that makes sense for you and you

[00:53:10]
Dan Smigrod: might start high knowing that you can always come down.

[00:53:15]
Dan Smigrod: You might surprise yourself in a market where you think,

[00:53:19]
Dan Smigrod: "Well, maybe I could get $99 for the floor plans."

[00:53:23]
Dan Smigrod: Start out at $199.

[00:53:26]
Dan Smigrod: Until somebody tells you 10 times over,

[00:53:29]
Dan Smigrod: 10 different clients tell you, "Sorry too much."

[00:53:33]
Dan Smigrod: then you can go change your pricing.

[00:53:34]
Dan Smigrod: But you might surprise yourself,

[00:53:38]
Dan Smigrod: the clients say yes.

[00:53:40]
Dan Smigrod: I think to Steven's point is,

[00:53:41]
Dan Smigrod: you may unbundle the 2D floor plan,

[00:53:45]
Dan Smigrod: the 3D floor plan,

[00:53:46]
Dan Smigrod: and the site plan.

[00:53:49]
Dan Smigrod: You may or may not choose to do that,

[00:53:51]
Dan Smigrod: but you might say,

[00:53:56]
Dan Smigrod: the floor plan has $99,

[00:53:59]
Dan Smigrod: the site plan is $99,

[00:54:02]
Dan Smigrod: the 3D floor plan is $99,

[00:54:07]
Dan Smigrod: and if you buy all three, it's $249.

[00:54:12]
Dan Smigrod: You've established a reference price of what each of those elements are worth,

[00:54:19]
Dan Smigrod: but still have a bundled price, so one price.

[00:54:22]
Dan Smigrod: Again, that $249 may not be the right price in your market based on the listings you do,

[00:54:28]
Dan Smigrod: the price points of your listing or the service level that gets provided to a client,

[00:54:34]
Dan Smigrod: but we're just trying to float some different pricing strategies.

[00:54:39]
Dan Smigrod: I would just run by just a couple of other thoughts here.

[00:54:43]
Dan Smigrod: You may choose to offer floor plans for free when you buy x bundle.

[00:54:53]
Dan Smigrod: If your bundle is typically Matterport, photos,

[00:54:57]
Dan Smigrod: and video in order to help get the client to go for that 3rd service,

[00:55:04]
Dan Smigrod: which maybe Matterport, maybe in the order.

[00:55:07]
Dan Smigrod: They want photos first,

[00:55:08]
Dan Smigrod: maybe they want video second,

[00:55:10]
Dan Smigrod: maybe they're going to get Matterport.

[00:55:12]
Dan Smigrod: Then if you can say and if you do my bundle photos,

[00:55:16]
Dan Smigrod: video, and Matterport,

[00:55:18]
Dan Smigrod: I will include floor plans.

[00:55:20]
Dan Smigrod: On your rate card, that might be a $249 item.

[00:55:25]
Dan Smigrod: All you wanted to really do with the floor plan, site plan,

[00:55:28]
Dan Smigrod: 3D floor plan was get your client to buy into your bundle.

[00:55:33]
Dan Smigrod: You're already going to drive to that location,

[00:55:36]
Dan Smigrod: you're going to be there,

[00:55:39]
Dan Smigrod: and you want to maximize the amount of money that you're going to earn for that job.

[00:55:46]
Dan Smigrod: You may only be able to shoot two or three jobs a day,

[00:55:49]
Dan Smigrod: wouldn't you rather just be on site and get paid for

[00:55:52]
Dan Smigrod: three different services knowing that something that costs you $16,

[00:55:58]
Dan Smigrod: that may have a perceived value in your market of

[00:56:01]
Dan Smigrod: $249 puts you over the top to get photos, videos and Matterport.

[00:56:07]
Dan Smigrod: I did mention that,

[00:56:09]
Dan Smigrod: I speak in nines,

[00:56:10]
Dan Smigrod: there's a lot of research about price points.

[00:56:14]
Dan Smigrod: If you're presently charging an even price of $10, $20, $30, $40,

[00:56:18]
Dan Smigrod: consider adding a nine,

[00:56:20]
Dan Smigrod: just Google marketing related to nines even in the Forum we've discussed it.

[00:56:26]
Dan Smigrod: You might use floor plans as a way to get pre-payment.

[00:56:31]
Dan Smigrod: If you want to get pre-paid,

[00:56:34]
Dan Smigrod: you might be offering floor plans as the mechanism to achieve that,

[00:56:40]
Dan Smigrod: you might charge per floor.

[00:56:43]
Dan Smigrod: We do have Matterport Service Providers that do this,

[00:56:46]
Dan Smigrod: I'm not making this stuff up.

[00:56:51]
Dan Smigrod: You're going to go shoot a three-level house and let's say,

[00:56:54]
Dan Smigrod: ultimately, you were going to charge.

[00:56:59]
Dan Smigrod: I'll make it simple, a $149 for a three-level house to do the floor plans.

[00:57:06]
Dan Smigrod: Then you can say,

[00:57:07]
Dan Smigrod: floor plans starting at $49,

[00:57:11]
Dan Smigrod: that's $49 per floor.

[00:57:13]
Dan Smigrod: If you know you're always shooting three-level homes for that client in your area,

[00:57:20]
Dan Smigrod: and it may make sense to position it as $49 a floor,

[00:57:25]
Dan Smigrod: and then the client goes, "Oh,

[00:57:26]
Dan Smigrod: that makes sense," because they're thinking,

[00:57:29]
Dan Smigrod: how hard is it for you to do this?

[00:57:31]
Dan Smigrod: Never mind that it takes two seconds to place the order with CAPTUR3D.

[00:57:36]
Dan Smigrod: - But the client's thinking in their head, well,

[00:57:41]
Dan Smigrod: if they do two floors are three floors,

[00:57:42]
Dan Smigrod: that's going to be more work,

[00:57:44]
Dan Smigrod: so they would logically charge me more for that.

[00:57:49]
Dan Smigrod: Think about, particularly if you're in

[00:57:51]
Dan Smigrod: a market where you're typically doing two and three levels,

[00:57:55]
Dan Smigrod: then it may make sense to charge by floor.

[00:57:58]
Dan Smigrod: Steven, I saw a little bit of a nod there.

[00:57:59]
Dan Smigrod: I think you actually like that one a little bit.

[00:58:02]
Steven Kounnas: - That's a good one. I hadn't really thought about that one,

[00:58:04]
Steven Kounnas: but it makes complete sense from a customer's point of view,

[00:58:06]
Steven Kounnas: how they're thinking about the value. It's a good strategy.

[00:58:09]
Dan Smigrod: - Thank you.

[00:58:13]
Dan Smigrod: Free when X happens.

[00:58:17]
Dan Smigrod: There's something you're trying to get the client to do,

[00:58:19]
Dan Smigrod: it may be you want them to pre-pay for the next 10 properties.

[00:58:23]
Dan Smigrod: Maybe we're getting to the end of the year and

[00:58:27]
Dan Smigrod: a client is on a cash basis on their taxes and they had a really great year.

[00:58:37]
Dan Smigrod: They want to pay you a lot of money in

[00:58:41]
Dan Smigrod: 2021 before December 31, 2021because they can deduct it from taxes.

[00:58:47]
Dan Smigrod: You might give them an incentive to say, "Hey,

[00:58:50]
Dan Smigrod: if you prepay us for

[00:58:54]
Dan Smigrod: 10 Matterport tours or more for the following year,

[00:59:01]
Dan Smigrod: then floor plans will be free for all your listings."

[00:59:06]
Dan Smigrod: Again, if you have a rate card that says you charge $249 for that,

[00:59:11]
Dan Smigrod: a client is thinking, "Well,

[00:59:13]
Dan Smigrod: I could do 10 pre-paid, that's $2,500.

[00:59:17]
Dan Smigrod: Well, that's cool. I'm going to get $2,500 in value in floor plans and site plans

[00:59:24]
Dan Smigrod: in the next year and all I need to do is prepay for 10 Matterport towards this year."

[00:59:32]
Dan Smigrod: "I like my photographer.

[00:59:33]
Dan Smigrod: I'm very happy, I know what my volume is going to be.

[00:59:36]
Dan Smigrod: Again, I had great 2021,"

[00:59:40]
Dan Smigrod: this is a real estate agent talking,

[00:59:44]
Dan Smigrod: "I'm on a cash basis,

[00:59:45]
Dan Smigrod: so I really do want to prepay,

[00:59:48]
Dan Smigrod: let's call it $5,000,

[00:59:49]
Dan Smigrod: to my photographer because I trust

[00:59:51]
Dan Smigrod: my photographer and I know I'm going to do business with them,

[00:59:54]
Dan Smigrod: and I can reduce my tax obligation in this calendar year and pick up value."

[01:00:00]
Dan Smigrod: That's an example of free when X happens,

[01:00:04]
Dan Smigrod: whatever X might be,

[01:00:06]
Dan Smigrod: and in that case I use pre-payment for multiple tours as an example. Do you like that one?

[01:00:11]
Steven Kounnas: - Yeah. That is a good one. There's also

[01:00:13]
Steven Kounnas: the alternative to that where you have a retainer.

[01:00:15]
Steven Kounnas: I'm not sure if that's on the list,

[01:00:16]
Steven Kounnas: but you have your monthly retainer at a smaller fixed rate.

[01:00:19]
Steven Kounnas: If you know that a client is doing 10 per month and you're charging $249,

[01:00:24]
Steven Kounnas: you offer them $1,999 fine,

[01:00:29]
Steven Kounnas: unlimited floor plans in that month and most likely going to cap out at 10 each time,

[01:00:33]
Steven Kounnas: but they're getting value and you're getting a locked in retainer as well.

[01:00:36]
Dan Smigrod: - Which may be a way to get the retainer in the first place is to say, look,

[01:00:43]
Dan Smigrod: if you pay me $2,000 a month as a retainer and

[01:00:48]
Dan Smigrod: we'll charge off your projects as you do them against that retainer,

[01:00:54]
Dan Smigrod: in exchange for that predictability for my income as a photographer,

[01:00:59]
Dan Smigrod: I'm going to offer you floor plans for

[01:01:02]
Dan Smigrod: all your listings during your retainer at no charge.

[01:01:07]
Dan Smigrod: Again, it depends on the client, it depends on you,

[01:01:11]
Dan Smigrod: your market, but there's ways to use floor plans where you don't have to charge.

[01:01:16]
Dan Smigrod: I think that's a good example of why you might say, well,

[01:01:20]
Dan Smigrod: in our market maybe floor plans are maybe $250,

[01:01:25]
Dan Smigrod: but I'm going to price them at $399 or $349,

[01:01:31]
Dan Smigrod: but I don't actually expect to sell any.

[01:01:33]
Dan Smigrod: I'm just using them as a tool to get a retainer or to get pre-paid.

[01:01:39]
Dan Smigrod: That way, I get to show a lot of value to the client because that's what I would charge

[01:01:44]
Dan Smigrod: otherwise even if you really don't expect to actually charge that and to your surprise,

[01:01:49]
Dan Smigrod: you might actually get that.

[01:01:52]
Dan Smigrod: I think a lot of photographers tend to under-price themselves, say,

[01:01:56]
Dan Smigrod: "I'm not worthy, I'm not good enough,"

[01:01:58]
Dan Smigrod: whatever voices are talking to you.

[01:02:03]
Dan Smigrod: What a great opportunity to experiment with floor plans as an Add On is

[01:02:08]
Dan Smigrod: charge more than you think you possibly could get and you might be surprised.

[01:02:16]
Dan Smigrod: Sampling, sometimes you've

[01:02:23]
Dan Smigrod: had a conversation with the client upfront

[01:02:25]
Dan Smigrod: where you're having so much conversation about photos,

[01:02:29]
Dan Smigrod: video, aerial, Matterport,

[01:02:32]
Dan Smigrod: you don't want to make their brain burst by giving them yet something else to buy,

[01:02:37]
Dan Smigrod: so offer floor plans after-the-fact.

[01:02:43]
Dan Smigrod: Go deliver the project that you promised your client.

[01:02:47]
Dan Smigrod: Then here's two options that I would suggest.

[01:02:50]
Dan Smigrod: One is that first time with that client,

[01:02:56]
Dan Smigrod: when you do that order,

[01:02:58]
Dan Smigrod: thank them for the business and send them the 2D floor plan,

[01:03:02]
Dan Smigrod: the 3D floor plan,

[01:03:04]
Dan Smigrod: the site plan, and just say, "Hey,

[01:03:07]
Dan Smigrod: thanks for your business,

[01:03:09]
Dan Smigrod: here it is, no charge.

[01:03:10]
Dan Smigrod: By the way, if you'd like to order that in the future,

[01:03:12]
Dan Smigrod: this is what I charge."

[01:03:15]
Dan Smigrod: That's why when I describe sampling,

[01:03:17]
Dan Smigrod: that's a way to,

[01:03:19]
Dan Smigrod: what did it cost you?

[01:03:21]
Dan Smigrod: It cost you $16 to send something that had a very high perceived value

[01:03:26]
Dan Smigrod: as a thank you gift to the client and

[01:03:29]
Dan Smigrod: that sampling might actually turn into future business.

[01:03:32]
Dan Smigrod: Then I think the two last things I would describe would be,

[01:03:41]
Dan Smigrod: for new clients,

[01:03:44]
Dan Smigrod: you might just offer the first ones free anyway.

[01:03:50]
Dan Smigrod: Give them something free.

[01:03:52]
Dan Smigrod: You might tell them that up front when they engage you,

[01:03:55]
Dan Smigrod: or if they engage you,

[01:03:56]
Dan Smigrod: or you might just deliver it as a thank you gift.

[01:03:58]
Dan Smigrod: I think the last thing that I have on my list, Steven, is differentiation.

[01:04:03]
Dan Smigrod: You talked about this earlier,

[01:04:05]
Dan Smigrod: that 2D floor plans, 3D floor plans,

[01:04:08]
Dan Smigrod: site plans are a way to differentiate yourself as a photographer to your client.

[01:04:14]
Dan Smigrod: It's also an opportunity for your client to

[01:04:17]
Dan Smigrod: differentiate themselves from a bazillion other real estate agents.

[01:04:22]
Dan Smigrod: I read an interesting article in The Wall Street Journal this year that there are

[01:04:28]
Dan Smigrod: more real estate agents in the United States

[01:04:31]
Dan Smigrod: today than there are actually properties for sale.

[01:04:37]
Dan Smigrod: That's a great statistic to get your head around.

[01:04:39]
Dan Smigrod: There are more real estate agents today than there are properties for sale today.

[01:04:47]
Dan Smigrod: If you were playing musical chairs,

[01:04:49]
Dan Smigrod: there's a lot of real estate agents

[01:04:51]
Dan Smigrod: that are not going to have a seat when the music ends.

[01:04:55]
Dan Smigrod: Real estate agents really need help

[01:04:58]
Dan Smigrod: differentiating themselves from every other real estate agent in their market.

[01:05:05]
Dan Smigrod: So if you can give them a tool so that when they go into a listing presentation,

[01:05:09]
Dan Smigrod: they're not only talking about why are we going to provide you with photos

[01:05:12]
Dan Smigrod: and video and aerial and this 3D walk around,

[01:05:16]
Dan Smigrod: but we also do these floor plans and

[01:05:19]
Dan Smigrod: this three-dimensional floor plan and we do the site plan.

[01:05:23]
Dan Smigrod: It's everything to help the agent win the listing,

[01:05:27]
Dan Smigrod: get bigger premium listings and to repeat that,

[01:05:30]
Dan Smigrod: to win more and bigger premium listings more often.

[01:05:35]
Dan Smigrod: Wow, you can do that with a $16 product from CAPTUR3D. Is that crazy?

[01:05:43]
Steven Kounnas: - It is pretty crazy.

[01:05:46]
Steven Kounnas: Just hearing you go through your different strategies,

[01:05:49]
Steven Kounnas: it's a really good reminder.

[01:05:50]
Steven Kounnas: The game that we are in isn't necessarily technology,

[01:05:54]
Steven Kounnas: it's relationships and all the things that we're

[01:05:56]
Steven Kounnas: doing when we're speaking with that client is building that rapport to build

[01:06:00]
Steven Kounnas: that relationship for trust because value your services and value

[01:06:04]
Steven Kounnas: your output because what you are creating is immensely

[01:06:06]
Steven Kounnas: valuable both to your client and to their client,

[01:06:08]
Steven Kounnas: whether it's the virtual tour,

[01:06:10]
Steven Kounnas: the drone, the photos,

[01:06:11]
Steven Kounnas: the floor plan, whatever it may be,

[01:06:13]
Steven Kounnas: you're creating an amazing amount of value.

[01:06:16]
Steven Kounnas: Don't hop on the value,

[01:06:17]
Steven Kounnas: focus on the relationship and all those strategies that

[01:06:19]
Steven Kounnas: then went through then are relationship building strategies,

[01:06:22]
Steven Kounnas: whether you're offering something for free to show,

[01:06:24]
Steven Kounnas: "hey, we can do this in the future."

[01:06:26]
Steven Kounnas: Or here are a few different options to help you stand out in a crowd.

[01:06:29]
Steven Kounnas: It's you helping your clients building that rapport and then building

[01:06:33]
Steven Kounnas: that reoccurring business from those individuals and over time,

[01:06:36]
Steven Kounnas: you're going to have a larger pool of individuals from to work with,

[01:06:39]
Steven Kounnas: but it's all about relationships.

[01:06:41]
Steven Kounnas: Use these full tools, $16 for a floor plan,

[01:06:44]
Steven Kounnas: it's not going to break the bank.

[01:06:45]
Steven Kounnas: Use it to build a stronger relationship.

[01:06:47]
Steven Kounnas: Than trying to get every cent out of every deal.

[01:06:49]
Steven Kounnas: Try and use it to make the bigger deal in the future.

[01:06:53]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome. I think I would add just one other thought to this, Steven,

[01:06:57]
Dan Smigrod: is there are so many Matterport Service Providers

[01:07:02]
Dan Smigrod: that are not presently offering floor plans.

[01:07:08]
Dan Smigrod: I could practically pull out my hair to go, "oh my gosh."

[01:07:14]
Dan Smigrod: Floor plans for $16 is a great example of an Add On that doesn't cost

[01:07:22]
Dan Smigrod: the photographer any time

[01:07:28]
Dan Smigrod: to actually do for the little bit that it took to order it, that's it.

[01:07:36]
Dan Smigrod: It barely cost any money, $16.

[01:07:39]
Dan Smigrod: So this is a great example of many possible Add Ons to offer clients.

[01:07:47]
Dan Smigrod: This is the one that absolutely should be added to your repertoire because,

[01:07:53]
Dan Smigrod: I think we could probably go through the math and say,

[01:07:57]
Dan Smigrod: "If you're presently doing Matterport and photos,

[01:08:04]
Dan Smigrod: adding floor plans might actually increase

[01:08:08]
Dan Smigrod: your gross revenue for the year by 50 percent or more.

[01:08:14]
Dan Smigrod: I think, if we actually did a Google Sheet and experimented with

[01:08:16]
Dan Smigrod: the numbers and we came out and said, okay,

[01:08:19]
Dan Smigrod: we're selling the Matterport tour for $250

[01:08:25]
Dan Smigrod: and we can get you $125 for 2D,

[01:08:31]
Dan Smigrod: 3D floor plans plus site plans,

[01:08:34]
Dan Smigrod: that just increased your revenue by 50 percent and your cost of goods sold,

[01:08:40]
Dan Smigrod: $16 is very little.

[01:08:42]
Dan Smigrod: We only did a little quick back of the napkin example,

[01:08:46]
Dan Smigrod: so if you're offering the 2D floor plan separately from the 3D floor plan,

[01:08:55]
Dan Smigrod: from the site plan,

[01:08:59]
Dan Smigrod: or you're charging by floor,

[01:09:03]
Dan Smigrod: I hate to make it complex but let's just say

[01:09:05]
Dan Smigrod: that through one of those conversations we had,

[01:09:09]
Dan Smigrod: you can actually end up getting $175.

[01:09:13]
Dan Smigrod: When you went out and did the Matterport tour for $250 dollars,

[01:09:17]
Dan Smigrod: that took you time to do.

[01:09:21]
Dan Smigrod: Floor plans don't take any time of the photographer.

[01:09:26]
Dan Smigrod: I just have to say,

[01:09:28]
Dan Smigrod: for every Matterport Service Provider,

[01:09:30]
Dan Smigrod: I challenge you to figure out a pricing strategy that works for you and experiment.

[01:09:37]
Dan Smigrod: It doesn't have to be that when you come up with a pricing strategy,

[01:09:42]
Dan Smigrod: that you got to live with it forever.

[01:09:46]
Dan Smigrod: Test and learn and see which one is

[01:09:48]
Dan Smigrod: the right price point or the right strategy or the right bundle that works for you,

[01:09:53]
Dan Smigrod: because floor plans has the potential to increase

[01:09:57]
Dan Smigrod: your annual gross revenue by 50 percent.

[01:10:03]
Dan Smigrod: I don't think I'm making that up,

[01:10:04]
Dan Smigrod: I think that that's actually doable, if not more.

[01:10:10]
Dan Smigrod: Steven, anything new that CAPTUR3D is working on,

[01:10:17]
Dan Smigrod: we'll put a bow in floor plans and move on.

[01:10:21]
Dan Smigrod: Anything else exciting that CAPTUR3D as coming that,

[01:10:25]
Dan Smigrod: we haven't previously talked about in one of our shows together?

[01:10:29]
Steven Kounnas: Yeah, there's always a lot that we're working on,

[01:10:31]
Steven Kounnas: but we can also speak about floor plans for weeks,

[01:10:34]
Steven Kounnas: I think, because there's just so much value in it.

[01:10:37]
Steven Kounnas: Really excited about a number of the new features that we're about to be

[01:10:39]
Steven Kounnas: releasing on CAPTUR3D and it's a bit of a sneak peak for

[01:10:43]
Steven Kounnas: our next show that would be running with We Get Around

[01:10:46]
Steven Kounnas: Network - WGAN-TV Live at 5 - in the not-so-distant future,

[01:10:49]
Steven Kounnas: just going to book it in then,

[01:10:51]
Steven Kounnas: is around our Creator Studio,

[01:10:53]
Steven Kounnas: which is the suite of services that we're creating with Matterport's SDK and API.

[01:10:59]
Steven Kounnas: We've bundled it all into what we are pointing as our Creator Studio.

[01:11:02]
Steven Kounnas: This is the virtual staging with a huge update to its efficiency and optimization.

[01:11:07]
Steven Kounnas: You may have tried some other virtual staging services in

[01:11:09]
Steven Kounnas: the past and a mobile that it seemed to work very well, they're quite laggy.

[01:11:13]
Steven Kounnas: We've got an amazing implementation that's solving for that,

[01:11:16]
Steven Kounnas: which we're really excited about.

[01:11:18]
Steven Kounnas: Media embed and our photos,

[01:11:21]
Steven Kounnas: which we went through earlier today.

[01:11:23]
Steven Kounnas: Our location-based audio.

[01:11:25]
Steven Kounnas: I'm really excited about this one,

[01:11:26]
Steven Kounnas: picking certain sweeps and placing audio tracks on top of them.

[01:11:30]
Steven Kounnas: As you move through a space, the museum,

[01:11:32]
Steven Kounnas: they fed the information of what you're looking

[01:11:33]
Steven Kounnas: at and how you're moving through that area.

[01:11:36]
Steven Kounnas: Custom tags, which allows you to change the icon,

[01:11:39]
Steven Kounnas: website embed, photo galleries,

[01:11:42]
Steven Kounnas: be able to click on a tag and have different sizes pop-up

[01:11:45]
Steven Kounnas: and different colors and a whole bunch of different animations through that process,

[01:11:49]
Steven Kounnas: changing the font, changing the language,

[01:11:51]
Steven Kounnas: and all the pieces around that as well.

[01:11:53]
Steven Kounnas: We are just days away from releasing all of

[01:11:56]
Steven Kounnas: these items into our Beta release space within CAPTUR3D.

[01:12:01]
Steven Kounnas: If you do want to get involved,

[01:12:02]
Steven Kounnas: we've got a Facebook group which is CAPTUR3D Community Group,

[01:12:06]
Steven Kounnas: CCG, please join there.

[01:12:08]
Steven Kounnas: A lot of deals go up there as well for floor plans and

[01:12:10]
Steven Kounnas: everything else and you get early access to our features.

[01:12:13]
Steven Kounnas: There's going to be a small announcement in the next week also on our Connect tool,

[01:12:19]
Steven Kounnas: around wayfinding, which is about to hit the market.

[01:12:21]
Steven Kounnas: Really excited for that as well.

[01:12:23]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome. I would say to our WGAN-TV viewers,

[01:12:29]
Dan Smigrod: if you're interested in wayfinding,

[01:12:32]
Dan Smigrod: augmented reality, Steven did a show.

[01:12:35]
Dan Smigrod: He's probably spent an hour talking with us about CAPTUR3D,

[01:12:44]
Dan Smigrod: I should say with the spelling,

[01:12:45]
Dan Smigrod: is CAPTUR3D, I struggle sometimes, so CAPTUR3D.

[01:12:53]
Dan Smigrod: I may be a little bit redundant there.

[01:12:55]
Dan Smigrod: CAPTUR3D, Steven did about an hour of WGAN-TV,

[01:13:00]
Dan Smigrod: speaking about Augmented Reality, AI,

[01:13:03]
Dan Smigrod: which wayfinding is one example of that.

[01:13:09]
Dan Smigrod: If you're interested in that show, go to: www.WGANForum.com

[01:13:15]
Dan Smigrod: Go search the tag section of the Fourm - tags - and just put in CAPTUR3D

[01:13:24]
Dan Smigrod: that's one way to find all the posts about CAPTUR3D,

[01:13:28]
Dan Smigrod: or in the subject line you can put in CAPTUR3D,

[01:13:32]
Dan Smigrod: probably, AI and CAPTUR3D augmented reality and probably pick up that topic.

[01:13:37]
Dan Smigrod: Since we do transcribe all the shows,

[01:13:40]
Dan Smigrod: you could even type in

[01:13:41]
Dan Smigrod: "WGAN transcript" and you'd

[01:13:45]
Dan Smigrod: likely be able to scan the list of previous shows with CAPTUR3D in it.

[01:13:52]
Dan Smigrod: Wow, Steven,

[01:13:53]
Dan Smigrod: you mentioned some really exciting things.

[01:13:56]
Dan Smigrod: All those things you've described that's part of

[01:13:59]
Dan Smigrod: CAPTUR3D Creator Studio and so we

[01:14:02]
Dan Smigrod: should do a show on that WGAN-TV Live at 5, that's awesome.

[01:14:06]
Dan Smigrod: I think what I heard - which is just awesome -

[01:14:09]
Dan Smigrod: that adding audio to an individual scan.

[01:14:14]
Dan Smigrod: As I move through the space,

[01:14:15]
Dan Smigrod: perhaps a museum,

[01:14:16]
Dan Smigrod: and I'm standing in front of a painting just by stepping up to the painting,

[01:14:24]
Dan Smigrod: get the audio tour for that painting.

[01:14:27]
Steven Kounnas: That's correct. Then, you can also group a number of sweeps together.

[01:14:31]
Steven Kounnas: If we go back to real estate,

[01:14:32]
Steven Kounnas: you could group the kitchen, and the laundry room,

[01:14:35]
Steven Kounnas: and there's sweeps so when you enter in that space,

[01:14:37]
Steven Kounnas: you're taught about the bench tops and things and

[01:14:39]
Steven Kounnas: then talk about other areas when you move into it.

[01:14:42]
Steven Kounnas: We are really excited about this feature going live.

[01:14:44]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome. Then, I think I heard that MatterTags can be color...

[01:14:51]
Dan Smigrod: There's some variations that Matterport doesn't offer,

[01:14:55]
Dan Smigrod: that CAPTUR3D is offering.

[01:14:59]
Steven Kounnas: We wanted to make it a more customizable space.

[01:15:03]
Steven Kounnas: Think of it as almost Google Docs now.

Steven Kounnas: Customize your font, your colors,

[01:15:08]
Steven Kounnas: your languages, and then even with your embedding into it, being a lot easier.

[01:15:12]
Steven Kounnas: Photo galleries, websites, or within a tag,

[01:15:14]
Steven Kounnas: rather than taking you out of the tour,

[01:15:16]
Steven Kounnas: our goal is to get people to spend as much time in

[01:15:18]
Steven Kounnas: the tour as possible rather than taking them elsewhere.

[01:15:25]
Dan Smigrod: That sounds, if I have photos,

[01:15:27]
Dan Smigrod: I won't have to host the photos someplace else.

[01:15:31]
Steven Kounnas: ... Place them into CAPTUR3D and then

[01:15:34]
Steven Kounnas: create your photo albums through there.

[01:15:37]
Dan Smigrod: If I had been struggling,

[01:15:38]
Dan Smigrod: for we're to host my digital assets such as the photo or even a 360,

[01:15:47]
Dan Smigrod: that I could host the 360s, host photos,

[01:15:49]
Dan Smigrod: host documents, all within the CAPTUR3D platform.

[01:15:54]
Steven Kounnas: That's correct.

[01:15:55]
Dan Smigrod: Then have them embedded in the MatterTags.

[01:15:58]
Steven Kounnas: That's it.

[01:15:59]

[01:16:29]

[01:16:32]
Dan Smigrod: My last thought is,

[01:16:35]
Dan Smigrod: we've covered a lot of ground on: 7 Strategies to Sell

[01:16:39]
Dan Smigrod: Floor Plans as an Add On with CAPTUR3D.

[01:16:43]
Dan Smigrod: If you're not presently a CAPTUR3D customer,

[01:16:47]

[01:16:48]
Dan Smigrod: to take advantage of a $90 free credit with CAPTUR3D.

[01:16:54]
Dan Smigrod: It's good for five free CAPTUR3D floor plans and they

[01:16:59]
Dan Smigrod: get back change because you won't even spend the full $90 on five floor plans,

[01:17:05]
Dan Smigrod: or you can use it

[01:17:06]
Dan Smigrod: on one of the other CAPTUR3D services,

[01:17:12]

[01:17:33]
Dan Smigrod: anything else that we should talk about in today's show?

[01:17:37]
Steven Kounnas: I think we've covered it all. But just to reiterate.

[01:17:40]
Steven Kounnas: Using floor plans to build relationships is

[01:17:42]
Steven Kounnas: probably the most useful thing that I learned when I was a MSP.

[01:17:46]
Steven Kounnas: It creates a lot of value for your customer and if you can

[01:17:47]
Steven Kounnas: offer tools for free to win more listings off them,

[01:17:50]
Steven Kounnas: it's probably the most beneficial thing I could suggest.

[01:17:54]
