In this episode of the Difference Maker Revolution podcast, hosts Jonathan Ryle, Ronan Ryle, Jeanine McLeod, Bradley Bulmer, and Steve Saporito dive deep into the often misunderstood topic of "quality leads" in business. They challenge the widespread notion that some leads are inherently “quality” or “low-quality,” and instead argue that mindset, approach, and consistent follow-up can turn any lead into a valuable client.
The team breaks down why many businesses struggle with lead quality and explains how expectations and work ethic play crucial roles in lead conversion. They also discuss the importance of viewing every lead as an opportunity and offer actionable tips for effective follow-up strategies. The conversation highlights how changing your mindset and developing persistence can make all the difference in nurturing leads.
Bradley and Ronan share real-life examples from the photography industry, revealing how ordinary people, not just high-income clients, become the best clients when you invest time and effort into building relationships. Steve and Jeanine discuss the need to take responsibility in lead generation and persistence, showing how life circumstances might be why a client is slow to respond—not necessarily lack of interest.
They also touch on the importance of nurturing long-term relationships through regular follow-ups and storytelling, which keeps potential clients engaged and reminds them of your value.

In this week's episode, we delve into the common misconception that average sales value is the ultimate measure of success for a sustainable business. The team shares their insights from their own experience in the photography industry, emphasising that while average sales value is relevant, it's not the sole indicator of a thriving enterprise.
We explore how the photography industry has become overly focused on ego-driven pricing and the perception of success, rather than on delivering consistent, exceptional client experiences.
Ultimately, the key to success lies in understanding that a healthy business requires a holistic approach, considering factors such as lead generation, client conversion, and delivering exceptional value.

In this episode, the team delves into the concept of never relying on a single approach, particularly when it comes to marketing strategies. Brad and Jeanine share their experiences navigating the ever-evolving landscape of client acquisition and how they have adapted their marketing over time.
Brad reveals the majority of his new business (a staggering 90%) is generated through Facebook ads. While this strategy has proven highly effective, he acknowledges the potential risks of becoming overly dependent on a single platform.
It’s important to maintain a diverse portfolio of marketing channels in case the tides turn. The key is to avoid the temptation of putting all your eggs in one basket, lest you find yourself vulnerable to the unpredictable nature of the market.

In this episode, we’re still talking about the five mega trends affecting the photographic industry. We continue on the second mega trend - the self-centric photography industry, where photographers often believe that their clients value their unique style and art rather than the emotional connection and meaning they derive from the photographs.
We also explore our third mega trend, "dual worlds". With the rise of social media people are living in both the physical and digital realms, and this has a huge impact on individuals' perceptions of the photography industry. This is closely linked to our fourth mega trend, the impact of AI on photography. Will AI surpass human capabilities? How can photographers focus on the human element?
Our final mega trend is the consumer availability of products, where the once exclusive products offered by photographers are now readily available to the general public. The team discusses each of these trends and their impact on the past, present, and future of the photography industry.
