205 - Let's talk inquiries this week. 

 

How are you getting them? Where are they coming from? How many become paying clients? 

 

It is so incredibly important that you are clear on the answers to these questions because this data will help you streamline your process and focus your energies on what works for your pet photography business. 

 

Heather Lahtinen of Flourish Academy and our head guru at Elevate brings us this month's installment of The Coaching Journals for this week's Hair of the Dog podcast episode. Heather talks through inquiries with Monica Adalsteinsson of Pup and Me Photo and Christi Baker of Christi Baker Photography. 

 

Monica is wondering whether she can get more clients through the door with discounts and special offers, while Christi needs to manage clients and prepare for maternity leave. 

 

What to listen for 

7:00 How Monica used the gap and the gain process when she missed June's revenue goal 

12:00 Why August's inquiry numbers are making her feel stuck 

14:31 The thoughts that are keeping Monica from offering special promos 

35:01 How Christi can scale up her business while taking time off 

21:17 The data Christi needs to know to make it all come together 

49:01 Heather's trick for getting previous clients to work with you again 

 

If you're just doing shoots and taking but not tracking your numbers, you're not effectively working toward growing your pet photography business. 

 

No matter what your vision of success is -- and that looks different for everybody -- it's crucial to know where you are and how got here so you can take steps forward!
