Matterport.. Join , Die or Migrate...11948

Bollingerphoto private msg quote post Address this user
Matterport has just laid down the gauntlet... Become an Internal Provider or Die on the Vine...Three cents a square foot will be the payout if you join the company as a slave wage contractor is now rapidly scaling up to compete against everyone else... They are going in the house and will undercut any attempt to compete using their proprietary technology in every market. They own the proprietary platform so the game will be rigged.

Anyone who believes they can compete against Matterport by offering a diverse portfolio is delusional. Phase two will be contracting peripheral services at cut rates. In the end, a lions share of every capture will go to matterport. It will be a slow and methodical roll out but the contempt they have shown for their client base in the past is just the beginning.

The newest meathead in charge of profit consolidation ( Troy Lowry Head of Real Estate & Facilities)(408)655-8353 just back from consolidating the British market is about to eat your lunch, steal your clients and kill your ability to fairly compete on this platform ... and enough providers will work for slave wages ( with a waiting list ) to allow them to corner the market and displace all client/ competitors. Ironically if that concept is not evil enough they opportunistically rolled all this out and expedited the plan during a global pandemic...

The level of scumbaggery is astounding. Fortunately, life has a way of balancing things like this out. Something revolutionary that will replace this technology is just around the corner and will make Matterport basically the Betacam of this niche market. The race to the bottom is just about to take a nose dive off a sheer cliff. Now is the time to divest interest and steer your commercial partners, away from Matterport.

I have been a commercial photographer for over thirty years and have never seen a hardware or service company stoop to such lows and blatantly steal from its client base. Join or Die will be the new mantra... My suggestion is to liberate your clients from the platform and migrate to new alternatives as soon as possible. Personally I will do any further business with them based on all of the above. The choice is yours, Join, Die or Migrate... I'm migrating.

[Redacted] MATTERPORT ... and I'm taking my clients with me...

This validates my decision to diversify my 3D 360 Business thanks to Dan and the great people he has put us in touch with!
Ben Clairmont, Angus Norris, Glenn Tremain, just to name a few.
We are all in this together, so we have a large "eco system" to beat back their attempts to control OUR businesses.

Thank you Dan for putting this together so we can freely share and learn from each other what needs to be done.

Anyone want to buy a MP Pro2?
