#219: Pet Photographer Claire Sold $4,000 of Photos & Made More Than Her Monthly Income From Any Job She's Ever Had. Here's What She Did.

If in-person sales or talking on the phone with a potential client freaks you out, you aren’t alone. A lot of photographers I work with are nervous about the boutique sales process–including pet photographer Claire Shelley.    Right before she moved to a new city, she was swamped with editing and disconnected from her clients. She rarely even knew if they liked their photos after she sent them over!    Claire knew there had to be a way to make more money and impact as a photographer. So she took a move to a new city as a way to revamp her business… even though the in-person sales aspect scared her!    Tune in to hear how she:    Booked her first “Julie” in a new city–without ever telling her what she did!  Decided to stay focused on animal photography rather than branching out to families.  Dealt with the nerves she had around in-person sales and talking on the phone to potential clients.  Talked to her partner about making the jump into Boutique Breakthrough.  And more!    If you want to learn how Claire went from making $700 in 6 months to an almost $4,000 sale, hit play and get ready to feel inspired!
