You’re supposed to be looking at a beautiful engagement couple… Supposed to be! And I even had backup for my backup and yet, you’re about to see me. 

Here’s what happened… Our first couple had to back out the week of the retreat. No problem I thought, we have 2 backup couples. Neither of which, turned out, could make it either.  I was in a panic.

I even stopped this cute couple at a restaurant on out first night in Florida to see if they’d be interested. Apparently it was their first date and I don’t think she was planning on a second! He was all gung-ho ready and she was like, “to soon”. 

So I finally came to grips with the fact that we would be down one shoot. But then the girls said it should be me… And I said, “no!” 

And they said, “yes”, and I said “no”…  And this went back and forth for the first 2 days but ultimately I really wanted them to have smaller groups and I needed the last models to make that happen – soooo… I agreed! 

It was hard to step in as the models when you’re the host.  I wanted to make sure everything was flowing right, as one of the models, that would be near impossible. But, wanting them to be able to shoot in small groups won out. 

And I am thrilled !! that it did!  Now I have these beautiful images, captured by some of my dear friends documenting this amazing time in my life when I got to bring my family to Florida (we extended into a vacation after the retreat). 

So here it is… The fourth and last session from the Thriving Photographer Retreat in Florida.

You can see the other sessions HERE, HERE and HERE.

The difference is in the details.  I’m sure you’ve heard that before. But have you begun to understand that these details mean a difference of potentially thousands of dollars spent by each new client you book? And for that matter, being able to book them in the first place! 

It’s in these details that an experience is either enriched or fouled.  Think back on the last really amazing experience you had with a business. You walked in, or called up, or logged on expecting to have a pleasant transaction but were surprised and delighted by much more.  I’ll bet that this transaction stirred up an emotional response in you.  What did that response feel like?  Even better… Who did you tell about it?  

Now think back on your last good experience.  This transaction certainly wasn’t bad; they met all your expectations, but it wasn’t anything to write home about, either….  And that’s the point.  If you’re not wowing your clients, they have no reason to talk about your business.  

But it goes further than referrals; the wow factor (or lack thereof) also helps determine what potential clients decide you’re worth.  Price sensitivity is real.  Your clients’ opinions of what you have the right to charge is wrapped up… in the details. 

In Episode 25, I shared 10 ways that I believe I’m increasing the wow factor and am, thus, able to charge a high-end price point.   Per your request, today I’m sharing 5 more ideas – but these 5 strategies are especially for my wedding photographers.  

I’m super excited about today’s episode… You’ll be able to spot my enthusiasm once you press play!  I’d love to hear YOUR thoughts, so please join the conversation in the comments below.  After you watch the video, of course. 

 
Love the BACKDROP? We do to! It’s Spangled from Drop it Modern!

I always love hearing YOUR IDEAS!  Have you experienced decreased price sensitivity by implementing specific wow steps? My thoughts are just the starting point, so jump into the conversation through the comments below, and let’s get brainstorming on more wow ideas! 

Are you happy with hearing… No!  Are you proud of your sales averages?   Are you confident about what you should be saying when a potential client asks, “how much?” 

 Are you contributing to your families income or has this dream of having a photography business really become an incredibly expensive and time consuming hobby? 
 

Here’s the thing… The only way to change where you’re at, is to take action. 
 

If you want to change the results you’re getting, you have to change what you’re doing. 

But maybe you’re at a loss as to how.  Maybe thinking about pricing, and packages and markups and offerings and product leaves your head hurting. 

That doesn’t mean you can’t make great money, what is does mean is that you need some help navigating through how to do it.  That’s where GO4 PROFIT can absolutely help you!

GO4 Profit is a LIVE WEB EVENT where I walk you through, step by step, on how to build your product list, set profitable pricing, create your offerings and build an experience that your clients will absolutely love you for… And the best part is…it will all result in way bigger sales!


I’m going to be teaching you exactly what I did to go from an average sale of $400 to $2,000.  And the only thing I changed was how I delivered my pricing and sales experience.  

So I bet you’re asking… But could it work for me?  Maybe you’re saying, ‘but I live in a small town’, ‘my area’s been hit by the economy to hard’, ‘my market is to saturated with cheaper options’.  NONE OF THAT HAS TO DETERMINE YOUR SUCCESS!  

YOU are the only thing that truly determines your success.  Photographers in every state of the US have implemented these strategies and succeeded along with countless more dotting the globe from Germany to Africa. If it can be done in Utah and Yemen… It can be done anywhere!



And I’m making it a no brainer because I’m giving you a HUGE discount! Just use code: B13_4Profit and you’re gonna get $80 off!
