We touch on so much in this episode! Tim runs a video production company to help clients tell their stories. Since we don’t have too many video production company owners on the show, we took time to compare a video production company to a web/design agency. There are similarities and differences, and we glean some learning from this truth.
Things Tim Ryan is always working on:
– Consistency in keeping the work coming in.
– How clients buy video production services (is it a commodity?).
– How Tim creatively networks with contractors so he’ll know who to hire next.
– Value awareness of the creative business owner, and how to use this to price a client.
– So much more!
