Episode 9: Hate Selling Your Photography? Hit Play!
It saddens me how much guilt, shame and anxiety photographers have over selling their photography. You might be paralyzed by the fear of being rejected or heck, even just the thought of someone thinking you’re pushy or salesy. So instead of creating a business that serves your clients as well as YOU, you want to keep everyone happy and end up giving it all away or competing to be the cheapest. But instead of feeling good about keeping everyone happy, you start to resent your clients and your business because you’ve burned up your most valuable asset – your time. And the worst part, you have little or no money in the bank to show for it. I want to break down for you how S-E-L-L doesn’t have to be a 4-letter word if you come from a place of service. Stick with me because you’re going to get REALLY actionable steps to follow and by the end of this episode, you’ll see that not only are you helping your clients by selling to them, you actually have a moral obligation to do it. If you’re a photographer who hates to sell, press play now.
