You passed the test. Now it's what to sell, what to charge, and who to call first — and you don't have to figure it out alone. AYNA is your crew; we've got your six. The First Client Playbook on your dashboard walks you from certificate to first paying client, and STERLING, your drone-business partner, works it with you — type, or push to talk.
The First Client Playbook
The playbook is a checklist that lives on your dashboard. You start at the top — a list of real people to talk to — and it keeps you focused on the next step until someone says yes. No theory, no blank page.
Start with people who already know you, then the local businesses worth a call. Your list is the launchpad.
See your first sessionA 30-second pitch, a price anchored against what others charge nearby, and a service page that writes itself.
See your first sessionFly one full mock job and put it in your portfolio — real work to show before the first paying gig.
See your first sessionA day-by-day schedule keeps the order: reach out, fly, follow up. You bring the momentum.
Then deliver the jobMeet STERLING
STERLING is a drone-business specialist built into AYNA — not a generic chatbot, and not the whole crew. It's the member of your crew focused on the business side: finding the best fit for your market, shaping what you sell, and backing every playbook step. It already knows your aircraft and your services, it researches real rates in your area before it answers, and when you agree on a change it makes it — you approve, it's live. Ask it anything, at any step — type, or push to talk.
Things pilots ask STERLING
Your first session
No blank dashboard. The playbook is waiting, STERLING is a chat away, and your storefront can be live before you log off.
Day one
The First Client Playbook is on your dashboard the first time you sign in. Attach it, start at the top with your client map, and check items off as you go.
Ask STERLING: “Where do I start if I only have weekends free?”
Make it yours
Tell STERLING about your drone, your area, and what you're good at. It shapes the playbook around you — what to sell, what to charge, what to say.
Ask STERLING: “I'm strongest at video — which of these services should I lead with?”
Go live
Your services, your prices, your Part 107 badge — on a page you can share the same day. Every quote request lands in one Leads inbox, not scattered across texts and DMs.
Ask STERLING: “Read my storefront — what would make a realtor trust it?”
When the job is won
Your first client is the goal. When the answer is yes, the same workspace carries the job into missions, flights, and checklists — no new tools to learn.
Operations workspace
Recommended for newly certified pilots
The Pilot plan is the focused starting point for a solo Part 107 operator: the playbook, STERLING, your storefront, and the Leads inbox — everything on this page, from day one of your trial. Solo operator doesn't mean on your own; the crew comes with it.
STERLING is included in the Pilot plan — a drone-business specialist on chat who knows the playbook and adapts it to your services and your strengths.

Straight answers
One $200 real estate shoot covers six months of Pilot. And you're not stacking subscriptions: STERLING, your storefront with Stripe built in, and your operations records come together — every feature built specifically for UAV businesses, with free updates as new ones ship. Members also get partner discounts on training, services, and more.
Your storefront is your professional presence — it's what goes on your business card, your Instagram bio, and your Google Business Profile. You don't need to win SEO traffic against chains and marketplaces: you control the story and the presence, and every conversation from your playbook points people to it. Quote requests arrive in your Leads inbox.
AYNA is your drone-business launchpad. The playbook tells you who to talk to and when, STERLING helps you shape what to sell and what to say, and your storefront turns those conversations into quote requests. We bring the tools that make it easier to deliver results — and the system grows with you, from first client to full operation, as your needs grow.
Yes, a card is required to start — but $0 is charged today. You're only charged if you continue after the 14 days, and you can cancel anytime before then.
