All Angles Photography Podcast

Your client experience may be impacting your inquiries and bookings. We all want to be booked out with a full calendar and work with our dream couples, but client experience is truly one of the most important things that will set your business apart from the many photographers your potential couple is inquiring with. If you think of client experience as sending a questionnaire, a guide, or even simply giving a gift, there's so much more to client experience than that. In this episode of All Angles Photography Podcast, we will do some reframing on why you should care about client experience.

I'll be touching on 2 important reasons you should care about client experience from a before-booking perspective. Meaning before a couple inquires with you, your client experience could be impacting the number of inquiries you have coming in or that you're converting into bookings. Tune into this short and actionable episode and start auditing your marketing and website so you can hopefully see an increase in your inquiries and bookings.

Do you find yourself being interrupted during your deep work constantly by your phone or your computer when it comes to emails? Maybe you want to respond quickly to every email or DM so you find yourself not really getting anything done on your to-do list? Maybe you get to the end of a work day and you feel like your inbox is just running your life and overtaking your entire to-do list? I've been there, my friend.

As soloprenuers, many times we feel the pressure to instantly respond to emails in order to be productive, and while I love inbox 0, the reality is, it's not sustainable to have your inbox open and in the background refreshing every minute. We're going to talk about time blocking, boundaries, notification settings, snoozing (and I don't mean sleeping), scheduling out emails, and so much more.
