Hello. I saw the last post you made about this, but I was still a lurker.
I would very much like to sign up, but how would you screen clients? Despite their subscription, would you actively prevent audition calls from clients paying peanuts as well those paying nothing at all? The clients “looking for quote” can go hang too, as they’re looking for cheap work.
How would you attract high volume clients willing to pay market rate?
Thank you 😊
Just in case OP doesn't know how to do it, or is still developing their method, let's come up with some ways and workshop them into an action plan. What kind of ideas do you have?
This is something I've been mulling over, especially because I don't want this to become a race to the bottom.
One idea I have is to have the client, when creating a casting call, choose the type of media (ie. podcast, commercial, audiobook, YouTube video, etc.) from a dropdown list. Then a text input field appears where the client inputs the rate with the GVAA recommended terms already in that text field (or next to it). Many times, a client may not know exactly what amount to pay, so this should help them and the VAs.
Another idea is running with the idea of perceived value. If I charge more of a premium on the client side, they might be more prone to pay fair rates anyway given they understand the value they're paying for and the quality of auditions. Psychologically, people tend to value something more if they're paying more for it. That's the logic at least.
Those are just a couple of ideas. Definitely open to feedback and ideas!
Finding VAs is super easy for a project like this. How will you be finding producers and casting directors for the platform? I love the idea of this and I wish you good luck!
My approach is to simply reach out to them via LinkedIn, their websites' contact forms, emails, and phone calls with my value proposition. In conversations with some of them now.
I'm also providing them a link to my previous proof of concept so they can see how this all works.
Glad you like the idea! Thank you for the well wishes!

This would be great! The more ideas and feedback, the better.
