    If a client spends hundreds of thousands on an event, why are so many video producers charging only $10K for the coverage?

    In this episode, Den Lennie breaks down one of the biggest pricing mistakes production companies make when quoting event work.

    You will learn:

    • Why day rate pricing limits revenue
    • The difference between a cameraman's thinking and a business owner's thinking
    • Why event footage becomes a long-term marketing asset
    • The pricing benchmark used by high-performing production companies

    If you want to stop underpricing your work and position your company as a premium provider, this episode will change how you think about event pricing.

    Mar 3 2026

    Send a text

    In this episode, Den breaks down the "90-Day Ghost" phenomenon. If you're a video agency owner frustrated by radio silence after a great discovery call, you need to understand the structural and psychological reasons for the delay.

    Den explores why the real sales cycle is 90 days, not 30, and how to build a follow-up system that converts without feeling desperate.

    ​​In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why the "pain of inaction" often wins over the "pain of action."
    • The 14-day value-based follow-up sequence.
    • Why organic content has a 90-day delay before hitting your bottom line.
    • The "Interview Question Hack" to reactivate cold leads.
    • How to move from a 25% to a 60% conversion rate using a CRM.

    If you want more predictable revenue and fewer ghosted proposals, this episode will reset your approach.

  • Why Your Video Business Stalled at $250k (The S.C.A.L.E. Method) EP #394
    Feb 17 2026

    Send a text

    Most video production owners believe that hitting the $250,000 revenue mark is the finish line. In reality, it is often where the real constraints begin. If your revenue is growing but your freedom is shrinking, you haven't built a business; you have designed a high-risk job that is entirely dependent on your presence.

    In this episode, Den breaks down why talent and demand are rarely the reasons a production company stalls. He introduces The Scale Method, a structural framework developed after mentoring over 178 video businesses. We move past the "hustle" and look at the mathematical certainty of business evolution.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • The Technician Trap: Why being "booked and busy" is actually a threat to your scalability.
    • The 250k Prison: How to recognize the pattern of friction that kills growth in creative companies.
    • The 5 Pillars of Evolution: A breakdown of Survival, Control, Alignment, Leverage, and Expansion.
    • Diagnostic Logic: Why you likely have a positioning or strategy problem rather than a sales problem.
    • The Bridge vs. The Engine Room: How to intentionally design a business that works without you.

    The Scale Method Assessment: Stop guessing which part of your business is broken. Take the free 2-minute assessment to identify which of the five pillars is holding you back: https://denlennie.com/scorecard
