For the past 6 months I’ve been working on something that I feel is going to help many other Photographers, Videographers and DJ’s in the industry. It’s about a month away from launching to the general public.
It’s called StudioLead Virtual Client Management.
I wanted to make something first and foremost where the user OWNS the data where it is entered on their desktop via the software. Then it can be uploaded to a special server database that compliments the desktop software making the vital client information mobile while you’re on the job or at a meeting.
There are many “Web-Based” client management systems that are used by many photographers. I noticed something that I didn’t like about those online-only services.
What if you lose your internet connection & you have someone on the phone wanting to book you?
What if that company goes under? What happens to all that critial private client data you’ve entered? Most of the services offer no realistic or completely guaranteed way to get 100% of your data back.
So I thought, “I’m going to build a system for myself that will be cheaper and the data will be mine for all eternity”. I don’t like to depend on other systems like that which can fail me or my business. So the further along I got in building the software, the more I realized how valuable this sort of thing could be to other photographers. Which then grew into the idea of utilizing the same services for Videographers and DJ’s. I’ve placed some screen shots of the software as it is now, I’m nearly done with the financial and referral statistics part of it. There’s quite a number of functions so I couldn’t place all the screen shots, but it should give you an idea of what it’s capable of.
In addition to above shown functions, StudioLead will have:
*Optional subscription based online uploading of all data for greater portability
*Instant Digital Contract Signing by the Client
*Online package pricing & product add-on by the client to build their perfect session complete with products.
*Automated pre-scheduled emails for birthdays and anniversaries along with automated session reminders emails to the client.
*Statistics generation for sales, pending balances, referrers, locations, and more
*Call logging
*Payment & Balance recording
*Custom workflows per each individual client session with a real time bar-graph to show your progress per client.
*Ease of use and great affordability with a stable platform for Mac OSX and PC users
*Much more…
Man, I sound like an infomercial! Sorry about that. I’m just extremely stoked to be nearly finished with something that can really make a big difference for some great folks in the photography industry. The Videography and DJ versions will be coming along in the near future.
