I had the pleasure of sitting down with my husband, Alvaro, to delve into his extensive experience in sales. Alvaro has been in the sales industry for nearly two decades. Our conversation focused on the challenges wedding photographers face with sales conversions, emphasizing the importance of genuine connections and understanding client needs. Alvaro shared valuable insights on how to approach sales with confidence, highlighting the significance of being both personable and professional. His advice on responding promptly to inquiries and the nuances of pricing strategies was particularly enlightening. It was a joy to share this conversation with the wedding photography community.
Key takeaways:
- Responding quickly to inquiries is crucial; being the first to connect with a potential client can make all the difference.
- Approach sales with a mindset of helping clients make the right decision, rather than feeling pushy or “convincing” them.
- Personalized follow-ups, like sending relevant photos or articles, create a friendly connection and help you stand out from other vendors.
- Transparency around pricing is important; offering a range or average investment helps manage expectations without losing potential clients.
- Face-to-face or voice conversations build trust and connection, which is essential in the wedding industry where emotional rapport plays a huge role in the client’s decision.
