The Profitable Photographer Sales Academy – Getting Started

Nov 15, 2023

 

Welcome to The Profitable Photographer Sales Academy and congratulations for taking a leap that will help you increase your sales by 2, 4, or even 10 times what you are already doing. I have developed my sales system over 37 years as a full-time portrait and wedding photographer. I have been successfully teaching my one-on-one and group coaching clients how to have $2000, 5000, 12,000 sales and more.

And now you have access to the secrets that position you as the Trusted Advisor, which puts you in the driver’s seat during your sales sessions, without coming across as pushy or needing to talk them into ordering well.

A couple of suggestions before you begin…

  1. Be sure to join the private group. This way you can ask questions and make comments that will support your growth and help everyone learn
    and grow along with you.
  2. Also, I want to encourage you to listen with your full attention each time. Take notes, especially to the first part of each module as there are
    specific lessons in this section that build on the ones after.
  3. There is a YouTube video that is an in-depth class on how I do the actual sale, with my 2 success secrets that can turn a good sale into an
    amazing order. You can find it on YouTube under The Profitable Photographer with Luci Dumas August 25, 2019.
  4. Included in your program are outlines to download, where you can take notes as you listen and refer back to over and over. Be sure to
    download these.

Here are some additional details about the lessons.

 

This course is a step-by-step program to help you know what to do and what to say that will ultimately result in large portrait and wedding orders in a way that your clients will love. It was recorded over 6 months as a live group class focused on selling photographs using an In-Person Sales Model.

There are 6 Modules to the course and 2 recordings in each module. The first recording in each Module has more teaching with some question-and-answer time. The second recording in each module is a quick review and more time for practice, questions, and some one one-on-one coaching.

  • Module One is is an overview of the steps, a pricing for profit model, and q and a from the live class.
  • Module Two Is all about the telephone…why it is important and how to have a great conversation that plants the seeds for the big orders.
  • Three is all about the consultation and how to continue to “water and fertilize” our clients desires for wall art and albums.
  • Four covers the portrait session…both how to photograph for larger orders and multiple wall portrait sales, and what to say that excited them
  • about the results.
  • Five is on the In Person Sale itself. I have a few tricks that make it easy to sell large portraits that clients love.
  • Six is all about handling objections.

 In the first recording, I share the principle of becoming the Trusted Advisor, introduce you to the steps in the sales room in this recording, and the overall system I have used for 37 years resulting in large portrait orders that almost always include 3 to 7 portraits and an album.

I am super excited that you are beginning this journey with me to become a master at selling your photography and building a business that will make your clients super happy and your dreams come true. I believe in you and I know you can do this. Feel free to reach out to me with questions or for more support.

Now on Module One.
