Isn't it the worst when you do something you don't mean to do?
Most vendors aren't trying to exclude same sex couples but many just don't know enough about the LGBTQ+ community to be aware of how they might not seem as welcoming as they want to be.
Kirsten will help break it all down for you and will also sit on the Publication Panel to help you understand what editors look for in styled shoots and real wedding submissions.
Anyone want their past clients to sell for them? Yes, please!
Reviews are a crucial part of having any type of business now and so understanding how to get good ones, how to respond to bad ones, and how to use them to help sell your products and services is a must for everyone.
Desiree is a master at reviews and will be helping you become a master, too.
Tired of being the worker bee in your business?
Ready to be the CEO?
Then you can’t miss Ashley talk about how you can scale your business and still keep your sanity. Systems & Processes are the backbone for growing, scaling, and maintaining sanity in otherwise crazy business. Setting these up properly, and ensuring the execution of them will be one of the keys to buying your time back, allow for easy client & employee onboarding, and truly operating from the mindset of a CEO. Ashley is going to walk you through the 5 areas of your business to assess their health, their functionality and how to implement strategies right away to bring balance to your business.
Feel like it's hard to keep up with the "right" way to attract and service engaged couples?
Confused as to what they "really" want from you, your pricing, your services, your products?
Annie will be taking you through how things have evolved in the wedding industry, what has stayed the same and how to anticipate what's to come so you always stay ahead of the curve and keep your couples happy.
