Despite best efforts and despite your best intentions, we can't control what happens in another person's life. We can't control how another person will perceive things or how they conduct themselves.

HAPPENING THIS WEEK — Qualify Your Leads, Like a Pro!
For any photographer to succeed in business, you need to generate leads and convert those leads to bookings — there is no way around it.
Once you know how to generate leads, no matter where they come from, the BEST thing you can do for your business is learn how to convert those leads into bookings.
At the same time, know which leads to cut loose and move on from so you can double down quickly on the leads that will become fantastic, high-paying clients.
How do you get better at lead qualification?
Take a course from one of the world's leading specialists in this process, who does this for other photographers daily! Since starting four years ago, Audra and her team have set more than 9,000 portrait sessions, creating more than $11M in revenue for their photographer clients.
If you've always wanted to be better at calling leads, OR YOU HAVE A STAFF MEMBER who needs to be better, don't miss this training.
Our GUARANTEE to you: Take this training, and if you don't get enough value to increase your conversions, let me know I'll happily refund you.

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
I check for any new iTunes or Google reviews each week, and it's always a buzz to receive these… for several reasons.

These policies build trust and credibility with your audience. – Tracey Mylecharane
Secondly, iTunes and Google are the most significant podcast search engines, and your reviews and ratings help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and, ultimately, a better show.
