Rob Perkins shares how a camera operator got steady work by simply checking in with producers. The move: reach out without pitching, stay curious, and let them remember you exist. One casual call led to a job that changed his finances.
Give me 58 seconds, and I'll destroy your fear of reaching out to get more work. You think it's about who you know. It's not. It's about who you are. Don't network connect. A camera op called me just to check in. No pitch or agenda. Just, hey, Rob, how's the new house? Two days later, I needed someone on a shoot, and he was the first person I called. That one moment turned into a run of jobs that changed everything for him. Last week, he told me he'd been completely broke before that first call. Makes you wonder. What if he hadn't reached out? Fear keeps you quiet, but quiet doesn't get you on the call sheet. So reach out. Reconnect. Remind them who you are. Be interested. Not interesting. Because right now, someone else might be getting the job you want. That's just one move from my first call. Framework for staying on a producer's radar. Rabbit free from the link below. Stay focused. Stress less, build wealth. That's a wrap.
