I am the Marketing Director for a virtual tour company in St. Augustine, Florida called Listing Solutions. I received a referral from a business partner last week. We have a deal worked out where he puts me in front of his clients, which are mostly Realtors. I met the Realtor at the location to take the pictures for the virtual tour. I asked him who had been doing his virtual tours and he told me that a good friend of his has a virtual tour company. It was not the response that I was hoping for. We chatted while I took the pictures and I found out that he has his own development company. I asked him if his friend had the ability to add floor plans to his virtual tours and he said no. I explained to him that we have the ability to add both 2D and 3D floor plans to his tours. We discussed aerial photography and I found out that he has a relationship with someone who produces very expensive aerial photos for him. I told him about our prices, which were significantly less than his friends and he seemed a little more open to learn more about our company and what we do. I think that the icing on the cake was our conversation regarding our distribution list. Our distribution list goes out to 85 more feeds than his friend's company. I told him about our participation with blogs and how it has helped our page ranking. By the time that I had finished taking the pictures, we had exchanged business cards and I believe that we will do business again together in the very near future. I followed up with him a few days after the virtual tour had been posted and he was happy and wanted a copy of the distribution list for his seller. I was prepared to let his friendship with another virtual tour provider prevent me from informing him of all of the tools that we have at our disposal. Who knew?
