The First 10 Shoots Roadmap
Use each early shoot to improve the portfolio, client flow, quality check, and sales system.
The resource catalogue
The Vault starts with the first ten shoots, then moves through pricing, capture, delivery, client acquisition, automation, and team systems. Available resources are linked. The rest show the build order.
Filter the catalogue
The status is intentionally visible. Available means you can open it now. Build next means it is in the first production group. Planned means it stays in the catalogue until demand earns the build.
Use each early shoot to improve the portfolio, client flow, quality check, and sales system.
The first-ten-shoots plan, field checklist, gear decisions, and first weekly sales actions.
Build a complete kit by job, budget, compatibility, backup, and the service you plan to sell.
A compact starting reference for bracketed photos, drone, walkthrough video, and agent audio.
A client-facing checklist that reduces avoidable delays before the photographer arrives.
A repeatable property path designed to reduce backtracking and forgotten coverage.
Phone, email, and direct-message frameworks built around a specific observation and useful offer.
Set the limit, permission, delivery, review, referral, and next-listing ask before shooting.
Plain-language definitions for the field, the edit, the contract, and the client conversation.
Track craft, speed, client communication, sales, systems, and financial basics by quarter.
Calculate floor pricing from labor, edit, travel, software, overhead, and target margin.
Build good, better, and best packages around client decisions instead of an endless add-on list.
Set service zones and travel fees from real drive time, mileage, and lost capacity.
See what remains after capture, editing, delivery, travel, revisions, and software.
Price drone, twilight, floor plans, 3D, video, reels, and rush work from added cost and value.
Questions to resolve before publishing a policy. This is not legal advice.
Define the included revision window, client-caused changes, and out-of-scope requests.
Set decision timing, safety ownership, client communication, and reschedule handling.
Model shoot volume, seasonality, delivery capacity, days off, and team support.
Compare zones by booking value, drive time, cost, and repeat-client potential.
A complete folder, backup, cull, edit, quality-control, delivery, and archive path.
A final review for verticals, framing, window treatment, color, artifacts, and export.
Decide when a window view matters and when the edit should stay natural.
Plan arrival, interior lights, exterior sequence, aerial window, and the final usable frame.
Airspace, authorization, weather, property risk, batteries, shot purpose, and client expectations.
Build the opening, orientation, progression, details, agent moment, and ending before capture.
A vertical sequence with room for property context, human scale, and a clean ending.
Short prompts that sound like the agent, not a memorized property advertisement.
Mic placement, levels, room noise, backup recording, and the five-second sound check.
Compare client need, platform, capture time, equipment, delivery, and recurring cost.
Give an editor references, decisions, tolerances, file rules, and the required output.
Score consistency, verticals, windows, color, masking, artifacts, turnaround, and revisions.
A clean structure for MLS, print, social, video, floor plan, branded, and unbranded files.
Card handling, working backup, off-site copy, delivery retention, archive, and deletion rules.
Score service fit, listing volume, market, communication, price fit, and repeat potential.
A weekly plan for research, outreach, proof, follow-up, calls, and learning.
Questions for current workflow, listing mix, pain, priority, timing, decision, and next step.
Useful follow-up for outreach, quotes, delivered work, dormant agents, and referrals.
Capture the brokerage, listings, service preferences, communication, brand, and delivery needs.
Confirm the scope and remove the questions that cause avoidable day-of changes.
Ask clearly, follow up once, and never hide negative feedback.
Restart the conversation with a useful reason, not a generic check-in.
Summarize completed work, asset use, service mix, and next-quarter recommendations.
Page, QR code, flyer, posts, stories, invitations, sign-in, reminders, and follow-up.
New inquiry, qualified, quote, booked, shot, editing, delivered, review, repeat, and lost.
The assets, connections, business rules, tests, and manual setup required before launch.
Acknowledge the call, sort the request, notify the owner, and protect sensitive issues.
A seven-day path that adds clarity, tracks the next step, and closes the loop.
Normal booking, preparation, day-of, weather hold, reschedule, and completion branches.
Choose the event, timing, message, follow-up limit, and feedback handling.
Inquiries, response, quotes, bookings, order value, delivery, repeat clients, and source revenue.
Evaluate craft, consistency, communication, reliability, gear, licensing, and data handling.
Test, style guide, file transfer, deadlines, quality control, revisions, and communication.
Number setup, routing, voicemail, missed-call response, recording disclosure, and escalation.
