Hi All ! I was told by a friend, who is also a MSP, that, Matterport was calling his clients (who are Real Estate Agents) to try to sell them Matterport cameras. This is really tricky because, as a MSP when we upload a scan, we have to put our clients infos. Those infos are valuable leads for Matterport salespeople because the clients are already convinced that virtual tours are a thing, they can easily convinced them to save a lot of money by buying a camera and not hiring a photographer anymore. Have you heard about such a thing ? or am I completely wrong ? |

They shouldn't be using any of our client's emails that are on the tours!! We are not their personal lead generation tool!! | ||

The definitely contact anyone who is added as a collaborator so never add real estate agents as collaborators to your tour or if you do son assign on of there email addresses use one of yours. | ||

IMO, taking information we provide and using for their sales team seems a little on the illegal side. Violation of privacy much like HIPPA laws. First thing a client will think OMG, you are sharing my business with companies to solicit me for business? Secondly, they can say did I give you permission to share my information with a company to contact me? |

Technically I suppose if you add them as a collaborator to MP you should get explicit permission to share their information with 3rd parties. | ||

I have not heard any verbiage from Matterport saying they would NOT use the information to solicit for new sales. So you can be sure that they are using that information. I do not TRUST Matterport which is really sad. It is sort of like working with an untrustworthy dog in a field herding sheep, you never really know if or when the dog is suddenly going to turn around and bite you on the butt. An unfortunately you cannot euthanize it because you wouldn't be able to herd the sheep otherwise. But a large number of more friendly sheep herding dogs are being born every day. |

All that is going to happen is we are going to scan for peanuts. The sales people will carry on calling the clients that we bring on board to sell them cameras and we get a hand of sand and no K-Y. If they want us to do the work, why not give us free cameras also. Just always remember TIME = MONEY and what is your worth per hour go and work out that. |
