Episode Transcript

Laura McGregor (00:01):
Hi. I'm Laura McGregor, CEO and co founder of
CommissionCrowd. If you're aself employed sales
professional, someone who'salways on the lookout for a high
value reoccurring commissionopportunity, pause your scroll,
this one's for you. Today, I'mjoined by Torey Thompson, the
founder of LandGazzer. They're afast growing drone mapping
company helping US basedconstruction firms, architects,

(00:23):
real estate pros, and civilengineers get precision ID data
faster and way more affordablythan traditional surveying.
We're talking 20 to 25%commission deals starting at
two grand and scaling all theway over to 6 figures. And of
course, reoccurring revenue fromlong term high usage clients. So

(00:45):
here's what really caught my eyethough. The tech is already
proven. The market is booming.
We're talking 75 Billion inprojected growth. So this is a
future forward sales opportunityin a space that's very ready for
disruption. So welcome. Let'sget into it and find out what
makes this even more powerfulmove for independent sales

(01:07):
professionals. Thanks forjoining me, Tori.

Torey Thompson (01:10):
Yeah. Thank you for inviting me.

Laura McGregor (01:11):
Yeah. My pleasure. Thanks for being a
Commission Crowd client. Can youtell me just in one sentence,
what does Landgazzer do?

Torey Thompson (01:19):
So Landgazzer is a drone powered mapping company
that delivers high accuracy 3Dmodels and CAD ready files to
construction companies,engineering firms, and far more
affordably than traditionalsurveying methods. And of
course, low risk because it'sbetter for a drone to fly than a
person to go in the road or inhigh places.

Laura McGregor (01:38):
Okay. And what kind of clients are you serving
and what is the problem thatyou're solving?

Torey Thompson (01:43):
The great thing about this company is that we're
pretty much all encompassing. Wecan speak to surveyors,
architects, contractors, civilengineers, and construction
companies. Oftentimes, they needto plan or build on sites. And
instead of waiting weeks fortraditional data and for large
survey crews, we can bring onepilot, have a drone out there,
fly it in all but ten, maybetwenty minutes maximum, and have
that back to them in a matter ofdays.

Laura McGregor (02:04):
So just kind of how did you get into that?

Torey Thompson (02:08):
So this is actually an interesting story
because I come from a filmmakingbackground, an animation
background specifically.

Laura McGregor (02:15):
Really?

Torey Thompson (02:15):
Visual effects, things of that nature. And my
brother who was in the army hadtold me about LIDAR and
photogrammetry. Now I didn'tknow what these were, but then
when he told me that these canbe used for visual effects, I
did a little more digging. Andthat's when I learned it can be
used for bridge inspections,building inspections, farmland
inspections. It's veryencompassing in what its use
cases are.
So that can be used pretty muchanywhere. And then I learned

(02:37):
that there's a large communityaround this that's only very new
and still growing, growing veryfast at it.

Laura McGregor (02:43):
Yeah. Well, that's really great. And that
was my next question. How big isthe market and why now?

Torey Thompson (02:49):
So the market is still very small, and it's only
because drones are new. Anddrones can be to some people a
little scary because it is abuzzing machine over your head.
But if you think about it, it'sjust putting a camera or a laser
scanner on an aircraft and justflying it around freely. It can
do it faster than we can, moreaccurately than can. Sometimes

(03:11):
people have put LiDAR sensors onbackpacks and will walk around
different places.
But instead of doing that, justhave a drone do it for you. You
can just sit there with yourremote in your hand and move
around. And so much so that theUnited States Department of the
Treasury claims that it willgrow by 75 Billion by the end of
twenty twenty five. And withevery everything moving right
now and with all the executivevoters, that's definitely going
to happen.

Laura McGregor (03:31):
So interesting. Gosh. And how exciting to be at
a time and a place whensomething is just like
skyrocketing. I'm feeling thatway about so many things in my
CommissionCrowd as well, youknow, with it, we're getting so
many referrals from AI. There'sso many things that are just
booming in different directions,and it's so exciting to be part
of that.

Torey Thompson (03:51):
People want technology to make their lives
easy. You know? And if we canmake make engineers' lives
easier, construction companies'lives easier, surveyors' lives
easier, why not? Why not providethat service that lets them take
a little more time to actuallyfocus on what matters?

Laura McGregor (04:05):
Definitely. Oh my goodness. So tell me, what
kind of sales partners are youlooking for?

Torey Thompson (04:10):
So if you've got relationships in construction,
engineering, real estate, orinfrastructure, or you're just
great at opening doors, we'lltrain you on every detail. You
don't need to be a drone expert.You just need to know how to
connect with decision makers.And I I pride myself on being
100% accessible and always readyto train people on this because
I've taught people how to mapbefore. I taught people how to
fly drones before.
All of it is very, very simple,and you'll be surprised at how

(04:33):
simple it is to grasp it.

Laura McGregor (04:35):
Well, that's what I love to hear. I love to
hear founders being like, yeah.I'm there. It's win win every
time. It is it is

Torey Thompson (04:42):
a team effort, and I think the best thing that
somebody can have is knowingthat they can speak to an expert
immediately. I always keep aphone line open for any
salespeople, any of my pilotsjust in case because if you have
a question, why wouldn't I bethere to answer it?

Laura McGregor (04:57):
That's great. Tell me about a win that you're
really proud of.

Torey Thompson (05:01):
So this is actually my most recent one.
There is a contract we're basedin California. And if you know
about the fires that happenedthis past January, it did a lot
of damage. And due to thatdamage, there was work required
to inspect some of the powerline poles. And this would this
needs to be done very fast.
So we were contracted with agroup of eight other drone
pilots and companies, and wewent to the Altadena area.

(05:24):
That's where we had to fly andgather three d models and and
data for those poles. The quotawas to do 100 a day. I did 500 a
day. And I pride myself on justspeed and efficiency because
that saves companies so muchmoney.
Anybody out there who works inthe professional realm, you know
that no matter what level you goto, incompetency is issue. Speed

(05:45):
is an issue. And if things canjust get done, you'd be
surprised how much money youwould save and how much you can
actually accomplish.

Laura McGregor (05:52):
And that's where all the referrals come from too.
Exceed expectations every time.Love that.

Torey Thompson (05:58):
I take a sort of competitive spirit to all this.

Laura McGregor (06:01):
Good, absolutely. So what was that
moment that you made to startLandGazzer I know you told me
about sort of earlier how it allkind of came about, but did you
have that we always talk aboutthe moment of the user journey.
What was it for you?

Torey Thompson (06:16):
So the moment for me was on a project where
and this was a just a projectwhere I asked the then job that
I had, hey, can I bring my droneinside and fly around for a
little bit? I didn't really knowhow it fully worked because it
was still an enigma to me, howyou could fly a drone around in
a pattern and it can make athree d model from that. Because
to my knowledge, making a threed model is going in AutoCAD or

(06:37):
Autodesk Maya and actuallybuilding it from the ground up.
So I take the drone out and Ijust fly in a certain pattern
and I program it to fly in aparticular pattern. There's so
many applications for that.
And then when I actually sawwhat it created when it was done
in about thirty minutes, thatwas my moment. Like, oh, so this
can actually be useful. Thisactually works. I don't wanna

(06:59):
say it's like magic, but it wasjust crazy to see that by it
doing that so quick, may it madesomething that would take me
days to make by, hey.

Laura McGregor (07:09):
Well, it always seemed quite magical, doesn't
it? Do you know? Like, how isthis?

Torey Thompson (07:13):
No way. In a way, because it is essentially a
drone there speaking to a GPS,and it's saying, oh, this is
this far away from this. This isfar away from this. And these
these can bring actionablesteps. And actually seeing it
created in real time is alwaysthe craziest thing.

Laura McGregor (07:28):
That is. Oh my goodness. And then, of course,
being able to take thatinformation and read it in some
way and use it to do better. Sothat kind of brings me to my
next question is like, is therea surprising way a client has
used your data that you didn'treally expect?

Torey Thompson (07:44):
I think the most recent contract that I did where
I saw that they were using thewe were basically contracted to
get our drone and fly it arounddifferent power poles. Right?
Now that takes all but a coupleseconds. You get one picture at
the top of it. You fly aroundit.
And I saw what they were doingis they were using it to zoom in
very close and inspect it andsee where there were cracks,
breaks, any things of thatnature. But it was so detailed

(08:07):
that you could see down to thenumbers at the very bottom of
the pole. And I think that's thecraziest thing to me, that you
can see so much there. And andit just saves so much time,
honestly.

Laura McGregor (08:18):
Yeah. So how would they have done that
before?

Torey Thompson (08:22):
They would have somebody go out there and climb
up a ladder or get on a plane,look at it, then come back down
and notate what the poll numberwas.

Laura McGregor (08:31):
That's incredible. Gosh. I love that. I
really appreciate that. I guessit sounds like it's really the
kind of opportunity that it's,to me, sounds like this is the
kind of opportunity that maybeagents have been looking for.
They're, they've been waitingfor the high commissions, the
reoccurring income, a boomingtech driven market. And if so,

(08:55):
go take a look at Landgazer onCommissioned Proud. I'll put the
link in the description, andthank you so much, Tori. Really
appreciate you sharing yourstory with us.

Torey Thompson (09:03):
I appreciate you guys having me. I look forward
to working with everybody.

Laura McGregor (09:06):
Thanks. Bye for now.
