Get a "Heck Yes" with Carissa Woo Wedding Photographer and Coach

Happy Woo Wednesdays! I have my past student in the Get a HECK YES house. Phil Santos really dedicated his life to the craft of DJing. He cares so much.

Phil Santos went through the Triple Threat Program and he was able to double his prices and book 6 weddings in 2 months. Holy cow!

He is an award-winning Miami-based wedding DJ who started his career helping millennials and gen z fight loneliness through community-focused dance parties. His passion is to elevate the typical wedding reception into a fulfilling experience of music, family and community.

Happy Woo Wednesday! Tom Chelednik (director of Wedding Pro) is in the Get a HECK YES house

I heard Tom speak at the WIPA Pricing for Profits events at Ebell Santa Ana and he brought down the house. I had to interview him because I know you will love him too. The market is  more competitive than ever and you have to create a lead follow up process that not only stays at the top of the couple's inbox, but also the lead content needs to encourage a two way conversation while building trust and rapport.

Tom has been in the wedding industry for 16 + years. He has had many different roles at The Knot, but always helping wedding pros book more weddings. He also was the COO of two Lux wedding venues so he understands what is like to be a wedding Pro.

Hot Topic

Following up on leads. (do you have a lead problem or a booking problem?).

* Build lead follow up content that creates trust and rapport

* Build lead follow up content that is helpful to the couples

*. Follow up at least 7 times over the course of 30 days. You are not getting ghosted you are getting lost in their inbox
