Top sales people aren’t born, they’re made. They’re trained. They’re coached to improve in key areas to develop skills that help them book more clients at higher prices. 

 

Sales is a numbers game. It’s all about optimizing conversion rates at different points in the buyer’s journey. Get the couple to inquire.

What do you think is the hardest part of selling your services?

  1. Getting people to respond to your initial inquiry response?

  2. Guiding the discovery call with great questions?

 

If you’re like most wedding pros I know, your inbox isn’t flooded with inquiries right now. And if you’re getting at least a trickle, you know how important it is to make the most of the few that are flowing through.

 

Do you ever wonder why certain people seem to have all the luck? Let me tell you a little secret: It’s because they make their own. 

Have you noticed your best clients don’t always have the biggest budgets?

Just because someone has a million dollars in their bank account doesn’t mean they’re a good fit for your company.

For many, destination weddings are the perfect mix of business and pleasure. 

Travel to enchanting destinations, experience local culture, sit by the pool, or beach, or on top of a mountain

All while getting paid to do it.

How do you close a deal without sounding sales-y?

Even the term “close a deal” sounds sales-y, right?!

But it’s necessary if you want to fill your calendar.

Wouldn’t it be great if all your clients were perfect?

Big budgets.

Beautiful designs.

Fun to work with.

Too bad that’s not the case.

We all talk a lot about “ideal clients.” Wouldn’t it be nice if they were all ideal? Too bad they’re not, because, let’s be honest: Those who inquire run the gamut from perfect fits to completely awful.

I just listened to Sam's newest eposiode with his wife talking about Services pages for wedding professionals. It was amazingly simple to follow and extremely inspiring.

I've been listening to the podcast daily ever since I found it a few weeks ago. I'm about to binge more on my long drive to a wedding this weekend. I can already picture myself saying, "Hey Siri, create anew note..."

This podcast has a gold mine of information for wedding pros looking to uplevel, target their ideal buyer, and define their messaging - it's a master class in a free podcast, and to pass it by is a mistake.

Sam is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and he doesn't hold back. His advice is timely - he certainly has a pulse on the industry's pain points.

Sam is a wealth of experience and information on the marketing side of the events industry. As a wedding planner of 10+ years, I still learn, grown and test new practices. This podcast has been an enjoyable resource for doing just that.

I normally listen to podcasts at 1.5 speed, but everything in this podcast is such gold that I take the time to listen to it. Each episode is very specific and has practical tips you can actually use in your business.

It has really opened up my mind to different avenues, strategies and possibilities for my business. My only regret is that I did not discover this podcast sooner!

So many good nuggets of information

Deep dive with real help and no fluff
