What happens when a creative business owner finally finds the systems support she didn’t know she needed? Absolute magic.
In this episode, I’m joined by Erin Belles, a custom framer and photographer who discovered my work through a two-year-old podcast episode. Three days later, she was a Systems & Session client. We dive deep into how she went from barely using Dubsado to confidently running a luxury client experience from start to finish.
Erin shares how she created a branded, high-touch proposal, wrote 33 pre-written emails during a solo hotel “workcation,” and built workflows for every offer—including newborns and heirloom portraits. If you’ve been dreaming of systems that make your business feel easier, this one’s for you.
