“How to Identify Clients, Bring in New Business and Never be Rejected”

Based on Maria Piscopo’s 3rd edition of her book, The Photographer’s Guide to Marketing & Self-Promotion, this program has been updated for today's new client. You probably have found they are harder to find and more difficult to keep! Maria’s new marketplace "overview" will give you the information you need to find and keep clients. Her techniques are specific, efficient and cost-effective for every area of photography.

Topics include: identifying your direction and updating your marketing message, reducing rejection when calling clients, dealing better with voice mail, “no-fail” selling scripts and planning different presentations to get your work in the door and using new follow-up techniques to give you a competitive edge. Learn how to use pricing scripts and role-play techniques to convince your clients that you're the best (not the cheapest) person for the job.
