In a world quickly moving towards online shopping, it’s only natural that brides, seniors, families take that path too. And let’s face it: Shopping for services online makes it all about price, right?

“Please quote photography services for a 150-person wedding, 01/01/2020, the album included. Thank you.” With inquiries like this, everyone is wondering: How do I get these potential clients to give me some time to show that I am indeed worthy of a higher investment?

In this Extreme class, Fabio Laub is going to share his secrets on how to hook your client even if your price is on the top margin!

It’s Not About You, It’s All About Them: Why Dream Clients Aren’t Booking You and How To Fix That

with Jonathan Tilley

4:00pm - 5:30pm

“But I’m a photographer, not a writer!”

Nope. Sorry. That won’t cut it anymore. You may take great pictures but if your messaging is off, jobs don’t flood in. Your About Page, your Instagram profile description, the way you communicate with your clients… if it’s all about you, the only brand experience they will have is a selfish one.

In this Xtreme Class, Jonathan Tilley breaks down the subtle art of brand messaging to convert cold leads into hot clients. Bring a pen. Charge your laptop. Turn your phone to Airplane Mode. It will be a notes-scribbling extravaganza where you’ll walk away knowing exactly what to say on- and off-line for your photography brand and business.
