Most photographers overcomplicate In-Person Sales.<\/p>\n
Especially when you\u2019re first getting started with it.<\/p>\n
This is simple. Show off the products you want to sell<\/strong><\/a> everyone someone sees your work. Blog, website<\/a><\/strong>, social posts\u2026 everywhere they touch your brand, they should see printed<\/strong> products<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n There are two other expectations you\u2019ll want to set, but setting expectations for products is most important, so start with just this.<\/p>\n Not sure what products to offer (or what price to offer them)?<\/p>\n This starts with a planning meeting<\/strong><\/a> about a week before the session. Ask questions about what they want to do with the artwork you\u2019re going to create, then make suggestions. Paint a mental picture for them of what you have in mind.<\/p>\n Most people call this the \u201csales meeting\u201d.<\/strong><\/a> It\u2019s not. The selling has already happened. They told you want they want during the planning meeting and you built up their excitement for those products through the session and the time between the session and this sales meeting.<\/p>\n Now it\u2019s just \u201cOk, here\u2019s everything we\u2019ve already discussed; what would you like to do with the rest of these images you love?\u201d.<\/p>\n Seriously, that\u2019s it. The sales meeting is the easy part.<\/p>\n The sale has been made, it\u2019s time to give them (more than) what they were expecting. The best way to do this is to personally deliver any products they ordered and install their wall art<\/strong><\/a> for them. Offering installation take all<\/em><\/strong> of the work off of the client and ties a bow on the entire process.<\/p>\n Is there more? Absolutely. Can it be more complex? Yup.<\/p>\n But all of that? It\u2019s not important yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n For now, I want you to focus on this and only this:<\/p>\n Just put something – anything <\/em>– out there right now. Then spend all the rest of your tomorrows making that thing better<\/strong><\/a>. Just get started.<\/p>\n Most photographers overcomplicate In-Person Sales. Especially when you\u2019re first getting started with it. So, here’s how to make it easy\u2026 Step one: Attract people who want printed products. This is simple.
