257. Ask Me Anything
At the end of last year, I sent out a survey to my email list asking them to share what they want more of and what they want less of in 2024. And at the end, I had a spot for them to share openly about anything they had on their mind, or share a question they want me to answer.
There were so many great questions that I decided to kick off this year with a few of those questions in an ask me anything style podcast episode!
We'll get into:
(04:15) How can wedding pros do a better job of selling their service, but at the same time, educating the client on a specific overall wedding budget they require in their market?
(10:25) Do I really need to overhaul my wardrobe to attract more luxury clients?
(15:00) How do you continue growth at the beginning without feeling like you have to drop thousands of dollars to market and grow?
(20:50) What was the one thing that changed your wedding planning business from regular to being booked out all the time while still increasing your prices?
