038: Stop Blue-Balling Your Business: Foreplay Doesn’t Pay


Listen Later

You can have the prettiest brand, the most emotionally intelligent client experience, the most viral marketing in the world…

But if you choke in the sales room? You’re cooked.

This episode closes out The $200K Season series with the final lever in the system — the one that actually brings the money in: sales psychology.

We’re talking about why photographers keep blue-balling their business by ramping up the foreplay of marketing and branding and then blowing it (no pun intended there) in the sales room... leaving you with a business that has the best images and greatest website, but you're not turning a profit.

Inside this episode:

  • The money mindset shift that you have to figure out
  • Why sales confidence equals client trust and bigger sales
  • The biggest mistake photographers make right at the beginning of the meeting
  • The exact sales process you need
  • The emotional psychology behind in-person sales
  • You can flirt with your audience all day long, but until you actually learn to close…
    you’re just leaving your business frustrated and broke.

    The full sales script, emotional sequencing, and pricing framework are all inside POSERS | The Mastermind.

    This episode is the preview.

    The playbook is waiting for you inside.
