WGAN-TV Training U (in Matterport)
Matterport hit a grand slam home run with the design, build, distribution and pricing of the Matterport Pro3 Camera for Matterporters around the globe.
The Matterport Pro3 Camera solves 10 problems and enables at least five new use cases for Matterport Service Providers (MSPs). 
While the Leica BLK360 image laser scanner paired with the Matterport Capture app solves most of the following challenges with its LiDAR scanning tech for capturing spatial data (versus the Matterport Pro2 3D Camera’s structured light tech), the BLK360 $20,400 starting price – versus the Pro3 $5,995 starting price – is simply too high (and capturing spatial data too slow) to scale a global network of Matterporters with the necessary image laser scanner required for scanning much of the built world. 
Until the Pro3 announcement on August 30, 2022, that was a big-big-big problem for Matterport.
Given Matterport’s ambitious plans for its Matterport Capture Services On-Demand program - now in 150 plus cities among seven countries – and the challenges of the Pro2 and BLK360, my only surprise about the Pro3 is that it took Matterport so long to introduce it. For more on this topic, please see my post in the We Get Around Network Forum in January 2022: Why Matterport will Build and Sell a Leica BLK360 Clone for Less Than $7,500.
Unlike Leica that likely needs to make a profit on each BLK360 LiDAR scanner sold, I could imagine that Matterport is uniquely positioned with the Pro3 to sell at or near cost because Matterport has additional fly-wheel revenue stream opportunities from scanning spaces, including:

Hi All,What's the Future for 3D Tour technology for Real Estate Photographers?Watch (above) WGAN-TV: Imagining the Future for 3D Tour Technology for Real Estate Photographers on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 with Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson (@kcoursa), Researcher at Texas Tech University (and incoming Assistant Professor of Marketing at College of Charleston effective 14 May 2021).WGAN-TV Live at 5 Show Includes► Imagination is a driving force in market development, growth, and market futures.► Methodology: Qualitative, Socio-historical analysis. Including a historical review of Silicon Valley, starting from the early 1900’s and a historical review of over 8 years in the development of a 3D/VR-tour technology.► The Silicon Valley’s technoculture provides guidance for market futures, such as 3D tour tech, but also constrains the future market.► While developers use their imagination to launch this market, the photography customer (including those first experiencing as an end-consumer) are pivotal in expanding this media into multiple markets beyond developers’ expectations.Possible Futures:➨ Positive: wider legitimacy, targeted marketing, convenience➨ Negative: (tensions) – photographer customers’ creative rights and end-consumers’ privacy rights► Ethical growth and potential legitimacy is possible through external imagination.What is the future for 3D Tour Technology for Real Estate Photographers?Find out on this WGAN-TV Live at 5 show.Plus, we discuss:✓ why the data captured matters (and why it may be more valuable than the 3D tour)✓ does innovation come from "Silicon Valley" or photographers or elsewhere (and why)✓ the tension/constraint of who owns the 3D tour✓ verticals such as museums, insurance and mortgage documentation✓ tips for 3D Tour photographers such as diversify your portfolio (and why)It's fun to hear about the future given that many of us are focused on today, tomorrow or next week.By the way, Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson was previously my guest on WGAN-TV Live at 5:✓ Transcript: WGAN-TV Virtual Tour Super-Heroes at Your ServiceGot a follow-up question for Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson (@kcoursa)? Post it here.And, thanks to @kcoursa for participating in another WGAN-TV Live at 5 show.Best,DanP.S. It's likely that you are familiar with Dr. Kelley Cours Anderson. Her research is often quoted by Matterport regarding homes with virtual tours sell faster and at a higher price.✓ Matterport Blog (February 25, 2020) With 3D Tours, properties sell up to 31% faster and at a higher priceListings with a Matterport 3D tour statistic examples include:- Sold 20% faster (less days on market)- For 4.8% more (higher sale price)

From WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Thursday, 18 February 2021 (video above)1. Differentiate the real estate agent (marketing yourself)2. COVID: Fewer in person showing appointments available (due to social distancing)3. Showcase properties4. 1st showings are done online5. Sell for more money6. Sell faster7. Many examples to show prospects8. Save everyone time (if not the right property for the buyer): seller not leaving the house unnecessarily9. Safe way for prospective buyer to tour the house10. Sight-unseen offers11. Enable the homeowner to share the virtual tour on their Facebook and with their friends12. Steers the listing presentation conversation away from discounting commission13. Steers the listing presentation conversation away from pricing the listing14. Keep the higher commission (despite the competitors discounting their commission)15. Prospects see our virtual tours (on our website, elsewhere) (even before our listing presentation)16. In-bound leads17. Synergy from using virtual tours on all listings; regardless of price18. Advantage of putting your best foot forward every time19. Use for Coming Soon window20. Multiple offers happen sooner21. Including virtual tours on every listing results in in-bound requests from home sellers22. Consistent marketing for all listings. Prospective home sellers pick up on that!23. Helps with repeat business24. Helps with referral business25. Streamlines the workflow to include a virtual tour in the same digital package for every listing26. Helps with the heavy listing that the internet does to market a listing27. Now I have a 24/7 Open House that gets syndicated to all the listing services28. Virtual tours move the needle; easy to justify the cost29. Invest in marketing the property; not the ego of the agent30. Money spent on marketing the property is a good reflection on the agent’s brand31. Win more listings32. ½ of virtual tour investment is getting listings; ½ is marketing the property33. Half our time is working on getting business. Virtual tours help generate more business.34. Text this code to see the virtual tour.35. Popcorn Effect: Sell one house in a neighborhood and more popup36. Virtual tours are like an online digital resume.37. Win bigger listings (average price point increases)38. To get million dollar listings, you need to be dining virtual tours for your other, lower price-point listings.39. Getting million dollar listings starts out with virtual tours for everyday listings.40. Your fiduciary duty you your seller: you owe it to the seller to use virtual tours! As agents, we are obligated to use the best tools possible41. “Digital resume” every time we sell a house.42. Virtual tours are a no brainer43. Missing out on future opportunities if you are not including a virtual tour44. It’s too expensive not to do virtual tours45. Virtual Tours helps you win business from other agents that feel that they are entitled to a listing.46. WOW factor gets you more listing presentation opportunities and to win more listings.47. Make it easy for home sellers to tell their friends about you (and your virtual tours).48. Homeowners can share the virtual tour (before it goes live on MLS); which agents can not do.49. Stats say houses sell for more money and faster if they have a virtual tour. The percent increase helps pay for the virtual tour.50. Virtual tours help you get more than just family and friends’ listings51. Virtual tours help buyers with that second look (after they have visited multiple listings)52. Virtual tours help buyers with friends/family that are helping the buyer make a decision.53. Virtual tours reduce the number of times the buy needs to keep visiting the property for measurements.54. Virtual Tours can increase touch points with prospects; particularly when using other tools to automate.55. Virtual Tours enable the real estate agent to be efficient with his/her time.56. Virtual Tours help eliminate tire-kickers.57. Virtual Tours help pre-qualify buyers for in-person showing.58. Virtual Tours help the real estate get full-commission.59. Virtual Tours help you justify your full-commission.60. Virtual Tours help you also get the house seller as a house buyer; typically at a higher price point.61. Virtual Tours help you get more referrals (from the home seller; from the home buyer and home buyer prospects.62. Virtual Tours are a small portion of the marketing budget for a listing.63. Virtual Tours help an agent not miss out on getting the listing; getting more leads and more referrals.64. Are you winning 100 percent of your listing presentations? (Virtual Tours will help you win more listings!)65. Are your listings as big as you would like? (Average sales price). Virtual Tours will help you get more.66. Getting a higher average sales price is a huge value for real estate agents. Virtual Tour will help get there.67. Did you lose a listing presentation in the last 60 days? Virtual Tours will help you win listings.68. Would you like to have a higher average sales price? Virtual Tours will help you achieve this.69. While the house will sell anyway, not statistically for as much money with a virtual tour.70. While the house will sell anyway, how does that reflect on your brand (versus agents using virtual tours)?71. While the house will sell anyway, you may not get as many referrals from the home seller, had you WOWed them by getting the most offers sooner and for more money.72. While the house will sell anyway, you are missing a key piece of your digital resume.73. While the house will sell anyway, when you use virtual tours, you are making a digital marketing resume that says, “I am an agent that uses the best marketing possible to get the highest price possible.”74. Virtual Tours help you avoid competing on price

Up to 9 percent of MLS listings with a 3D tour sell at a higher price

WGAN-TV Live at 5: Virtual Tour Super-Heroes at Your Service: How Business Communities Inspire Creativity to Mitigate Crisis with Texas Tech University Marketing PH.D. Candidate Kelley Anderson, M.S.Hi All,If you are a Matterport Service Provider, you are a Super-Hero and it's likely that your virtual tour business has increased as a result of COVID-19, concludes a survey of WGAN Forum Members conducted by Researchers Kelley Anderson, M.S., PH.D. Candidate and Ashley Hass, MBA, PH.D. Student at Texas Tech University.71 percent of WGAN Forum Members saw their virtual tour business increase, according to the research paper. While ALL services - photography, video, drone, 360 imagery, Virtual Tours - increased - virtual tours increased the most. 90 percent of those surveyed anticipate that virtual tours will be more essential following COVID-19 too.On WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Wednesday, 18 November 2020, I will interview Researcher Kelley Anderson, M.S., PH.D. Candidate at Texas Tech University✓ WGAN-TV Live at 5: Virtual Tour Super-Heroes at Your Service: How Business Communities Inspire Creativity to Mitigate Crisis with Texas Tech University Marketing PH.D. Candidate Kelley Anderson, M.S.WGAN Forum Members are Super-Heroes according to the Summary of the research paper titled:✓ Super-Heroes at Your Service: How Business Communities Inspire Creativity to Mitigate Crisis"[WGAN Forum Members took on] a new identity of a ‘super-hero,’ where they assist to bring normalcy and sustain the market while keeping others safe," according to the study's authors that researched the impact of COVID-19:1) How do [virtual tour photographers] react and modify strategies to maintain services during a crisis?2) How [does the We Get Around Network Forum] influence strategic changes?"76% participated in [the WGAN Forum] because of information exchange is beneficial for them and their businesses, concludes the researchers.The researchers methodology also included content analysis of the We Get Around Network Forum: "1001 total posts; 221 discussions from [WGAN Forum was] scrapped (NVivo NCapture January to June 2020)," according to the Summary Report.The 14-page Summary Report - Super-Heroes at Your Service - is available free to WGAN Forum Members. (When you join the WGAN Forum, you automatically receive a link to this Summary. Or, Private Message me - @DanSmigrod - with the Subject Line: Super-Heroes at Your ServiceAmong the quotes from the WGAN Forum included in the 14-page Summary Report:Ambiguity and Role Conflict - I live in a state that has a stay at home order....but.... Real Estate is considered critical...Photos/VR-tours are very important right now, under the circumstances. I’m just not sure if they are legally "essential" since Realtors can, technically, do them without a professional photographer. One of my clients thinks this is the exact time that you NEED professional help. (WGAN Forum post)Creative Community-Driven New Identity Practices - feel like people in the neighborhood look at me wearing a mask and going into the house. They know that I'm a service provider, and they respect that. Some of them even wave at me. ... It's nice. And it's also respecting their community because I don't want to be the guy that brings the virus to their community where they live, where their kids are... (WGAN Member interview)Outcomes of a ‘Super-Hero’ (or Villain?) Identity - ... Before the coronavirus, VR-tours were seen predominantly as a cool gimmick that many companies could live without. But since the virus started getting out of hand, and nation-wide quarantines began, VR-tours have become essential to businesses, which gives us VR-tour makers plenty to be optimistic about. (WGAN Forum post)This virus is beyond any global research and is evolving faster than any testing against it. It is self-weaponizing. The United States is now the largest carrier and sufferer. No money nor business acumen will stop it unless people stop spreading it. Stop scanning. Stay home. Save lives. (WGAN Forum response)And, this from the Study's section titled:Implications● This study helps to answer calls for how [virtual tour photographers] can help others cope with the crisis and support the economy (Pantano et al. 2020).● We find specifically that online business communities [WGAN Forum] can build creativity to manage a crisis and that there is an opportunity for business [virtual tour photographers] innovation to be a positive result emerging from COVID-19.Stakeholder Implications● [virtual tour photographers] engage in [the WGAN Forum] to gain creative inspiration to pursue productivity● Collaborative networks - there is a more significant role beyond information-offering, including prompting creative strategies● Policy makers - play a greater role in protecting our service ‘super-heroes’ as they protect our community and the marketplace---It's sweet to have independent researchers do a deep-dive into WGAN Forum posts and reach out to WGAN Forum Members to speak to at length.In an email to schedule her WGAN-TV Live at 5 appearance, Kelley writes, in part:"... I wanted to let you know that the paper we presented this week was the piece where we used the “data” that came from your amazing Forum. It is de-identified purposely to maintain anonymity for the conference until this is accepted as a publication.""We’re still working to get this published formally in an academic journal, but I wanted to let you know of this progress. It received amazing feedback: This working paper won the best services paper for the conference – an amazing honor and a testament to the importance of your communities’ work! So thank you again for all of your support on this project. I will be adding a proceedings paper to my website in a week or two, but don’t want to do so before sharing some of the managerially important insights with the Forum as we agreed.""Again – I am still excited to share insights of this and any other insights related to this research stream with the community via the WGAN-TV Live at 5. Nonetheless, I would like to share a report summary ahead of this. I’ve attached a report that you can share with the WGAN community. If you have any questions or suggestions related to this report, let me know. This report from the working paper should only be shared with your WGAN Community (and not shared without prior approval from us)."---Best,Dan---Free Text Reminder: Text Me 5 Minutes Before Air!
