Caution - Holly had a crazy idea! lol. Mike and I have been tossing around the idea of having a Jump Start Your Business Class. I thought I would check general interest before posting all the details - and its been checked and details have been listed below.
Basically, when you first start out in photography, its REALLY hard to get going. I don't know about you, but for me it was like riding a bike up hill - with no wheels...until I figured a few things out. There are things you can do - that you have to do - to get your business going. If you fail to do them, most people burn-out and give up.
Most people don't go from Day #1 - Buy Camera...to Day #2 - Photograph the Kennedy's. The business just isn't that simple. And competition is fierce - especially when you 1st get started.
There are ideas you can implement right away that will greatly help your business get going from a totally stalled position. So I was thinking about offering a class on giving your biz a jump start - aka the defibrillator class. lol.
I was thinking it would cover the topics below and then some:
- What you Must do from Day # 1 to Succeed
- Real Customer Service
- Attracting Customers
- Growing your Business
- Ground Zero - How to get your 1st client
- How to Attract Higher Paying Clients
- The 1 Word that Can Take your Business to the Next Level
- Getting Paid, Pricing, and NewB Concerns
- Getting the Most out of your Packages
- How to Get Your Client to Give you More Money
- Closing the Sale
- This List could go on and on...
