You'll learn how to create repeat customers—and stable income—by continually bringing clients back to update their child's portraits as they grow. If you'd like to come to Seattle to learn all this from Sandy in person, read on!
Most photographers are photographers, not salespeople, but a photographer that can't sell their photos won't be in business very long. Each of us has a different personality, and in her Sales, Sales, Sales workshop Tamara Lackey will be showing you how to improve your sales by using techniques that fit YOUR personality! This is no one-size-fits-all script to follow—Tamara will teach you how to sell in a way that works for you. Anyone can watch live online for free, but six lucky people will be here in the creativeLIVE studio learning from Tamara in-person! Let's get to know them!
