I’m proud to be returning to speak for the Bay Area Prof. Videographer’s Association. I’ll be presenting “Fade to GREEN! How videographers can close more sales, today”. No matter how good you are at your craft, you still have to close the sale so you get to do what you do so well. Whether you’ve been selling for weeks, months or years, everyone can use a refresher to help you close more sales.

As we approach the end of 2011, how do you feel? Are you exhilarated over a great year? Or do you feel beat up and can’t wait for the year to end? I meet a lot of wedding pros every year as I travel around the country for presentations and training. What I find particularly interesting is that, in the same cities, I meet people whose businesses are thriving and those that are dying. It doesn’t seem to matter which segment of the market they’re targeting, there seem to be those that are finding a way to succeed while others are failing.
Why do you suppose that is? The common thread appears to be a mindset. Some have the success mindset while others have the victim mindset. I’m not saying there aren’t real issues affecting businesses all over the country, of course there are. What I’m saying, and seeing, is that despite those challenges there are people who are finding a way to thrive. Read More

I had the good fortune to be consulting the other day with a DJ/Photo/Video company. I sat in on a couple of actual sales appointments with two brides and their mom’s. What was very interesting, and coincidental, is that the second bride considered using the venue that the first bride chose, but she decided not to. While she acknowledged that both are great venues, with excellent reputations for their food and service, the second bride didn’t think there were enough photo opportunities at the venue. The venue she chose is also more expensive.
That alone is not shocking. I’ve heard the same thing for years. I’ve also been talking for years about how reception venues need to be showing more real shots of brides at their most popular photo ops. Advertising is ASPIRATIONAL. You want the prospect looking at your ads and marketing materials to Aspire to be like the person they see in the ads/marketing materials. Read More
