Here's what's
actually happening
A company reaches out.
They need a video. You send a quote — $3,000, maybe $5,000 if you're feeling bold. They compare it to two other quotes that look identical. They pick the cheapest one. Or ghost entirely.
That company had a $50,000 problem. A product launch tanking. A sales team that couldn't articulate why they're different. A CEO frustrated that the brand felt invisible.
You quoted for a video.
You should have diagnosed a business problem.
The QUEST Method is how you do that in a single conversation.
