while still honoring the season of life you’re in.

Build every detail of your pricing, products and the experience that supports them.
03.

04.
THE POSSIBILITIES, THEY’RE ENDLESS
There’s more than one way
to earn more from a session.
Moving beyond all-inclusive doesn’t have to mean offering every product or jumping straight into full in-person sales.
Inside The Art of Selling, I’ll walk you through different ways to increase your profit per session. We’ll look at approaches such as The Bridge Method, collection-based sales, à la carte sales, and a one-product approach without IPS.
You’ll see how each works, what you’d need to put in place, and what it asks of your time. Then you’ll have a path forward for the one that fits you now. Whether you choose one product or a full menu, you’ll know why it belongs in your business.
04 / A CLOSER LOOK INSIDE
Go from “I think
I need to change
this” to an offer
you’re ready to launch.
We’ll work through the decisions that can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to make them all at once. Each decision gives you something to build on.
-
Start with what you want to earn and the life this work needs to support. Make room for your family, your priorities, and your own paycheck.
-
Look at the time you have, how often you want to be behind the camera, where you enjoy spending your time, and what you’re ready to commit to in this season.
-
Bring your numbers and your capacity together so your pricing has a reason behind it. You’re no longer charging like someone told you to. You’re making clear decisions based on your life.
-
Explore different selling approaches and what each asks of you and your time. Choose with your own business and life in mind. We don’t want to create a business you fight to support.
-
Work through your products, pricing, and what you’ll include. Understand the purpose behind what you offer. Inside, you’ll find tried and true examples of offers, collections and products you can swipe or make your own.
-
Learn how to explain your prices, talk about your products, and guide clients through purchasing. Design a system of selling that’s sustainable for you: choose what to automate and where to handhold.
-
Bring your offer and client experience together so you understand what you’re sharing and what you need in place to support it.
08 / YOUR NEXT STEP IS LAID OUT
When you sit down
to work,
you’ll know
where to start.
You’ve made time to work on your business. You shouldn’t have to use it wondering what in the world you’re supposed to do next.
Your step-by-step Trello board gives you a place to track the work, see what you’ve completed, and find your next task.

I care about the business.
But I care even more about the life it’s meant to support.
The Art of Selling began as a course about in-person sales. Years of coaching photographers have taught me how much we need to consider before choosing how to sell.
What do you want to earn? How do you want to spend your days? And what can you give this business in the season you’re in?
Our children aren’t interruptions. Our families are part of why we’re building this in the first place. And it’s okay to make room for our work, ask for help, and want to earn money.

QUICK Q
-
This course is for any professional portrait photographer who is ready to offer products, no matter what stage. of business you are in! If you are ready, but unsure about client conversations, how the meetings work, pricing, creating packages, finding quality vendors, and/or ordering products without making expensive mistakes, then this course is for you.

The course is broken down into 8 parts and has a total viewing length of approximately 3 hours. You can watch the entire course in one day or break it down into the modules, completing tasks as you go.
-
You will need:
A Fundy account
A gallery account to deliver digital files such as Pixieset of PicTime.
An invoicing system such as Quickbooks or your scheduler. Many students use 17hats, Acuity or Honeybook.
Product samples: I recommend starting with just one of each product such as one album and one framed piece.
Sales tools from all vendors: frame corners and album cover swatches.
-
Part of this course is The Pricing Workshop where you learn about the real numbers driving your business. During this section you will figure out exactly what you need to earn on each session. Some photographers decide to raise their smallest package offer to meet this financial need, while others are able to simple add products to their current offering.
