| Common Misconceptions our Clients Have | 19 Oct 2022 | 00:25:30 | |
Many times, clients may come to us with mistaken ideas…we call them Myths in this episode. The gang talks about the myths they have encountered from clients who wear the wrong clothing (because they look good in it) to getting a tan before the portrait to asking for nearly impossible things they think can be magically fixed in Photoshop. How we handle these myths is part of being a professional. Ultimately, our message is to celebrate people and the beauty they already have within, understanding that it is our job to see that beauty and bring it out through our skillsets.

| Small Changes - Big Impact | 28 Sep 2022 | 00:27:45 | |
Wall sizes, small sizes, albums, finishes? UGH! Too many details and options can hurt your sales and cause decision fatigue. Hear what these experienced photographers found to be the answer-SIMPLIFY! Listen as they explain how they all started out in the beginning offering everything under the sun, but realized, as time went on, that this was the road to confusion…and not great sales. As Michael says of his experience when purchasing a new Ford (after he tried to figure out the many, many options), “It was so confusing. I gave up.” Great lesson here!
