The Photography & events office that answers at 2am — and books the job.
Inquiry qualification, package quotes, deposits & consults. Your assistant knows this trade: what counts as an emergency, what the common jobs cost, and which questions to ask — because it starts from a playbook built for photography & events, then learns your prices and policies.
These escalate to a human immediately — the caller gets safety guidance while the owner's phone rings:
- Photographer no-show or badly late on a live event date
- Client calling about a wedding or event happening today with a coverage problem
- Gear or gallery-delivery failure affecting an event in progress
- Contracted event within 24 hours at risk from a venue or timeline change
- Qualify new inquiries (date, venue, hours, budget)
- Quote packages and coverage tiers
- Collect retainers to hold dates
- Book consult calls
- Confirm timelines and send session reminders
Plus quiet-hours texting, quote follow-ups, invoice reminders, and the morning briefing — the standard Conduit office.
