Negotiating For Photographers 101: How To Go From a Lose-Lose To A Win-Win Everytime

Written by admin on May 4, 2011 – 7:00 am -

CLARION CALL 2 is AVAILABLE NOW!

Secure Your Ticket By Clicking On The Image Above

Let’s speak candidly for a moment. Are you tired of struggling to find new prospects and then struggling to get them to become paying clients?

When you ask a prospective client about their budget for a job you’re bidding on do you often hear the following statements, We don’t have one” or “We don’t have a lot of money” or the always frustrating, “Oh, I have a brother or a friend whose just graduated from art school, maybe I’ll get them to shoot it for their portfolio”.

Let me ask you another question? How do you respond?

You see your response is paramount to either your prospect becoming a new client, or, dare I say… YOU WALKING AWAY!

Yes, I said walk away.

Sometimes the best business practice is knowing when and how to say no.  At least to a prospective client that either can’t or won’t be open to negotiation. And negotiation will be the focus of my new tele-training with my favorite guest teacher, Selina Maitreya!

On this brand new hour of power (my new favorite phrase:-) I will be interviewing Selina about this often over looked (and yet) crucially vital component of running a successful photography business.

As a matter of fact….. if you don’t learn how to properly negotiate with prospective clients your dream may become or perhaps already has become a nightmare.

On this call Selina is going to share with you some key steps in the following areas:

  • How to begin a sales conversation in a way that doesn’t put your prospect on the defensive from the start
  • How to stay focused on your goals and not get pulled in by either their (or) your “money drama”
  • How to present yourself in way that maintains your standards, stays true to your vision while ensuring that your prospective clients needs are heard
  • What to say when the client is not open to negotiation
  • How to walk away gracefully when you just can’t reach an agreement that leaves everybody feeling heard and respected
  • How to create a “win-win” situation that’s ideal for both of you!

At the end of the call Selina is going to reveal something that is going to blow your socks off. So make sure you stay until the end. You don’t want to miss it.

So if you’re ready to take control of your income and the way you work with clients this is the call that you absolutely cannot miss.

If you’ve been on any of my past calls with Selina you know she never disappoints, as a matter of fact, she over delivers and this call will be no exception.

Did you missed tonight’s call? Would like to get the replay? Is so register below to get all of the details by instant message!
