Better Websites for Wedding Pros – easy ways to improve your current site or make a new one – Thursday, August 16, 9am – 12pm

If your website was an employee, would you fire it? It’s not just the title Alan’s book, it’s a real question. How good of a job is your website doing in converting the traffic that you’re already getting? Does it need some tweaking, or a full overhaul? In other words, would you retrain it, fire it or give it a raise (if it’s doing that good of a job). If one bride a month visits your site and decides not to contact you, how much money is your current site costing you in lost business?

Come to this fast moving workshop to see and hear:

  • Fast and easy ways to improve any website
  • How to get more brides to contact you
  • How to streamline your site for better conversion
  • New ways to think about what your website can do for you

Then, I’ll do live reviews of some of the websites of the attendees. Are you brave enough to let me look at yours? You should, people pay big money to get me to consult on their websites, you’ll want to see and hear what I have to say.

NACE Webinar

By Speaking Events

I’ll be returning to NACE for a special webinar on a most-important topic: Close More Sales, Today!

In this session we’ll address one of the most requested topics we hear from wedding pros across  the country, closing the sale. If you don’t close the sale there’s no food to cook, dresses to sew, images to capture, flowers to arrange, music to play, weddings to coordinate… you get the idea.

You can do everything else well (marketing, social networking, advertising, websites, conversion, SEO and ROI), but you still have to take that final step and close the sale. Love it or hate it sales is an integral part of your wedding business.

In this session we’ll give you the tools you need to close more sales:

  • When to ask for the sale
  • How to ask for the sale
  • How to see the buying signals more clearly
  • Plus: we’ll reveal the number one skill you need to close more sales
