One day.
I arrive around 8:30, we're rolling by 10, and we're usually wrapped by four. Your office keeps running around us.
I'm a video marketing strategist. I use video to make service businesses money — twenty-five years of it, something north of four thousand businesses, 400+ law firms. I'm flying to Tucson in October for a wedding, I have four open days while I'm there, and I'd like to spend one of them at your office.
The booklet in your hands was written for your firm and nobody else's. There is no second copy of it.

A handful of longer pieces, the rest under a minute. Vertical and horizontal cuts of every short, captions burned in.
You approve all of it in advance. Nothing gets made that you haven't already read.
Every file. No license, no term, no renewal, nothing to keep paying me for.
From the shoot to the last file in your hands. One day out of your calendar, a year of video out the other end.
$0 to hold the date. $0 when I fly home. $0 until you've watched the finished videos and told me you're happy.
Net 15 from the day you tell me. The price is the number in your booklet — it's already got the trip discount in it, and travel is waived, because I'm coming to Tucson either way.
If you watch the finished work and you're not happy, you owe me nothing, we shake hands, and I've had a nice trip. I'm coming to your town cold. That's the deal I'm comfortable offering a firm that has never met me.
Four days. Tell me which one suits your calendar and I'll build the trip around it. Booking cutoff is October 2 — the scripts need the week before the flight.
I mean that about the no. There's no follow-up sequence hiding behind it and no hard feelings on my end. I'd rather have a clean no than a polite maybe.
