The biggest influencers on our business

A frequent question we get asked here at PVS HQ is who are the biggest influencers on the way we run our business and our philosophy general.

If you asked either of our managing directors, the name they both frequently drop is Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary V is a successful entrepreneur and businessman and is a digital marketing expert, but he's much more than that. He offers inspiring entrepreneurs practical advice on not necessarily on how to become rich; but rather, a blueprint on how to live their lives on their own terms and be successful in business.  If you had to read one book by Gary V, we'd recommend Crushing It!

Another inspiring figure that everyone in the team can relate to is Sir Richard Branson — the owner of the Virgin Group. His philosophy is based on simple principles. They are:

1) Take care of your employees

If you take care of your employees by giving them the tools to do their jobs, you treat them well, care about their wellbeing and go out of your way to make sure they're happy, they'll be more loyal, work harder and not want to leave the company (even if a better offer was hypothetically on the table!)

2) Don't put your customers first, put your employees first

If you take care of your employees, they'll take care of your customers. Simplistically, unhappy employees can ruin the brand experience for not just one, but numerous customers.

3) Choosing great leaders

At Virgin, a great leader must:
  • Praise employees instead of criticising them
  • Genuinely love all people from the cleaning staff to the senior executives
  • Be a great listener who not only hears the recommendations from employees but acts upon them.
It seems simple, but the reality is many people find this incredibly difficult to execute. 

For us at PVS, it helps at the moment that we're a small team and hierarchy is relatively flat. But crucially, as we continue to grow, the culture and foundations we set now, will make all the difference in the future.

We'd love to hear more from our readers and customers about who their biggest influencers are. Let us know by leaving a comment or reaching out on social media.

Have you ever wondered what kit you need to start shooting property video? We get asked this question all the time and it couldn't be easier! For approximately £100 (or less!) you can be fully kitted out with everything you need. The first piece of kit you need is a camera. But luckily, as it's 2019, pretty much everyone has a powerful camera in their pocket capable of recording high-quality video. What we mean of course is your smartphone! So what else do you need? Well, there's three key pieces of kit that you still need to purchase to be fully up and running.

Four things for beginners to avoid when filming

Are you new to filming video? Do you want to shoot higher-quality professional videos? Here's our top four recommended things for beginners to avoid when filming to take your videos to the next level. 1. Avoid unnecessary zooms Think about the real world, what would you do if you wanted to see an object more closely? Most of the time you'd physically get up and move closer to the object. So when filming, why would you zoom when you could physically just move closer? If not executed properly, zooming can also just feel unnatural and weird to the viewer. It can also have the negative effective of drawing the viewers attention away from the films content as zooms are obvious and you can't miss them. A final reason to avoid zooms is that they can be tricky to pull off as it's essential that you make it silky smooth and subtle. You need a steady hand to be able to pull off a zoom with smooth starts and stops, without jerky speed changes, or unintended st...
