Space is limited. Elite members only.  Reservations required. All of these statements elicit the assumption of exclusivity, right? How would you like for your photography business to be thought of in that way?

Michael Sasser of Sasser Stills Boudoir has created processes in his photography business that have made him more desirable to clients, due to the feeling of exclusivity! In episode 502 of The Bokeh Podcast, he shares the steps clients must take in order to book a session with him, as well as the benefits he has seen both financially and personally.  Listen in as he shares his strategy, along with a hard lesson learned in the process.

The Bokeh Podcast is brought to you by Photographer’s Edit: Custom Editing for the Professional Photographer and Miilu: The Simplest Way to Create and Manage Timelines and Shot Lists for the Events You're Photographing. You can also subscribe to the Bokeh podcast on the Apple podcast app, follow on Spotify, add to your playlist on Stitcher, or listen on Overcast.
