Delivery rules from "After the Flight": under-promise on the quote, deliver early when the week allows. One follow-up a few days after delivery, every time: did the link open, did the footage do what they needed, anything else this month. One follow-up is enough; do not pester.

No client over half of revenue. A single builder retainer that pays the bills is a job with a landlord, not a company. Outreach continues in good months, and the follow-up calendar runs even when you are busy. The most common year-one failure is not a crash; it is gear-buying as procrastination. The only purchase that books jobs is the one measured in hours: outreach, portfolio, follow-ups.
