5 Steps for Transforming Your Photo Business (33:28)
1. Knowledge is Power – Don’t just learn facts to learn about your clients, get to KNOW them and their story
2. Differentiate yourself by flipping the wedding photography script – doing something outside the norm with the element of surprise
3. Be along for the journey, not just the booking and the wedding day – be a resource or reference throughout the wedding planning process
4. Seek positive emotion to anchor decision-making to – sell good feelings, not fear, by speaking in terms of the benefit for the client
5. Referrals are the most valuable form of marketing currency
