As a contractor, you often juggle multiple update requests from different customers simultaneously. You often find yourself at one jobsite and getting calls or texts about another. You might even dash from one site to another for an in-person walkthrough. While texting updates is possible, showing progress face-to-face has always felt more effective — they want to see it for themselves!
What if you could handle all of this virtually? Imagine if your customer could receive project updates and see you explaining them — both at the same time. With CompanyCam’s dual camera mode, you can use both the front and back cameras to record a single video that shows, tells, and informs about the latest project developments. No need to shoot multiple videos and stitch them together.
In this article, we’ll show you how you can use dual camera mode to update your clients and manage sales by creating video tours of your projects.
