Packages vs Bids: This Thursday’s Director’s Cut AMA
Hey everyone, This Thursday’s Director’s Cut AMA is all about Packages. Most modern clients don’t want to get lost in line items bids full of jargon. And once you send a traditional bid, you’re usually pulled into negotiations with people who don’t fully understand what they’re negotiating. Instead, I want to talk about using packages.Pre-built workflows that clearly communicate value, set expectations, and make it easier for clients to say yes. We’ll talk through when packages make sense, how to structure them, and how they change client conversations for the better. 📅 Date: Thursday, 2/10 ⏰ Time:10an PT📍 Join here: Zoom Join live, bring questions, and let’s break down what actually works. Hope to see you there, Jonathan

Quick question for the group.
I’m seeing more and more tools and programs popping up aimed at filmmakers and video pros to help build packages instead of traditional bids. Curious how many of you are actually using packages right now instead of bidding everything out? Personally, I love packages. I don’t really send bids anymore. I send package options. It keeps conversations focused on value and outcomes instead of line items and justifying every dollar. Would love to hear if anyone here is using packages, and whether any of these SaaS tools you’re seeing out there are actually worth it. 👇

This weeks AMA- Your unforgettable Elevator Pitch

We’ll work on your elevator pitch and your personal story using simple storytelling principles. Think hero’s journey, not marketing jargon. Not “I’m a videographer.”Not a list of services.The version that sticks. Here’s the bonus. This exercise doesn’t just help your pitch. It sharpens how you think about your work, your craft, and your value. By the end, you’ll have a clear structure you can use anytime someone asks:“So, what do you do?” See you Thursday 10 am PST Heres the link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84450996747?pwd=SnbbHsd9VjCGbxAyZDeo6OufD99U3u.1 Jonathan
