Firstly, I'm SO happy and thrilled to be here at Two Peas! It's an honor to chat with you today and I hope we have a good time learning from each other and being fabulous!

Today I'll be discussing Client Interaction. Now, before you turn off and think THIS GIRL IS AS FUN AS DRIFTWOOD, I want to explain it in a way that you can hopefully apply to aspect of your life and or/business. Specifically, I'll be talking about Client Interaction in three phases, much like the way I eat my dessert. Beginning Middle, End. Duh. So much of my brand revolves around my clients, so ensuring I have a way to mold that is tantamount to my success.

BEGINNING:
Before a client even reaches out to contact me, she's most likely done her research. And in today's age, that research exists on the web. So she'll likely view my blog and website. Now, for those of you haven't seen my sites, allow me to explain something: Both sites literally ooze of me. My thumbprint is on every page. My words in every possible place. Heck, my bio section on my website is broken in to SIX sections! Yes, it's about what I do (photography), but it's more about who I am (Jasmine Star). That's key.

I want to give every reason for a prospective client to walk away. To not call me. Yes, this sounds crazy, but it's true. I don't want a client who wants a photographer, I want a client who wants me as her photographer. That's a big difference. When viewing my online presence, I run the risk of her not liking me (I'm obsessed with canned tomato sauce and I dress my dog in clothes...I get it), but that's just what I want. I want a distinct feeling about my work and who I am even before she emails or calls me...because by the time she is ready to book, she's quite certain of her decision.

MIDDLE:
By the time the client is ready to pick up the phone or book a meeting, she is informed of who I am. She's educated. Why? Because I put it all out on the web for her. She knows I love my dog, Polo...she knows I have an amazing husband...she knows I like watching Real Housewives of New York City...she knows I never say no to chocolate...she knows where I recently went on vacation. Yes, she knows all of that and more. Because the more she knows, the less I feel like a business, and more like a person.

When we finally do meet, she's asking about Polo and JD and will most likely chat about Real Housewives too. Because I've given her more reasons to find a common ground with me. Essentially, she trusts me. And this is powerful. Our consultation is filled with laughter and is chalk full of details about her upcoming shoot...and, yes, she does most the talking. Which is what I want a consultation to be; a time when a girl walks in and lets me know she's ready to invest in feeling fabulous.

END:
By the time the shoot rolls around, my clients are always ready. Why? Because I've tried my best to prepare them. On the web. I am constantly posting new shoots on my blog, writing new articles to help clients, and posting personal stories as a way to connect us. One of the hardest things for photographers is to have clients loosen up in front of the camera, right? Well, can you think about anything you've done leading up to that point to avoid that feeling?

When I'm shooting my clients, we often chat about commonalities and recent experiences...this helps when it comes time to pose my clients. If they're telling a funny story, they feel comfortable doing so because we've established that relationship...and then all I have to do is photograph their laughter. Woohoo! Trust is a powerful component to what I do as a photographer. To what WE do as PHOTOGRAPHERS. But how often do we shy away from allowing people to connect with us for fear of the unknown? Why do we stop ourselves from giving clients every reason to want to link into who we are as people, not merely business owners?


If you're feeling like you're not getting enough from your clients on a shoot, perhaps you should think of ways to prepare them leading up to it. Think of yourself as a photo coach of sorts. You want your clients to perform well, so make sure they're seeing new work on your blog, they know a lot about you from your bio section on your website, and you're sharing more about who you are a person on the web. This will change the experience and you'll soon discover client interaction is much more rewarding this way.

Stay Fabulous,
j*

You ROCK! Everything about you ROCKS! I've followed your blog for some time now and I LOVE the new layout! One of the many things, but one of the first things I liked about you SO VERY MUCH was how HUMAN and open, candid and REAL you are. I don't know you, but feel like I do. So I can only imagine how your clients feel. You've done everything you set out to do by making yourself avaiable, real and personable! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by our little board and share your wisdom!

After what you said, I am feeling REALLY good about myself right now. Well, I feel pretty good about myself most days, but that is beside the point here

I had a client call today, and it would have been a very big session (for me, anyway). But when talking to the client, I could tell they were not fully satisfied with my prices. They loved my work, and what I offered, and all my experience. They just didn't want to pay for it. I actually had a thought that I should throw in some kind of random discount, just so they would book with me.

But then I thought, "Why?" Why should I lower my standards? Why shouldn't they raise theirs? I decided to stay true to myself, and stick to my guns. I haven't heard back from them, but I am not going to cry over it. This is who I am, and what I can offer. And no, I am not going to sell myself short for you. Unless you are family. And even then it is if-y.

TFS! I totally agree. I try to put my own spin on what I say on my blog too.

Oh, and I tried to friend you on facebook and it told me, "sorry, this user already has too many friends"...LOL!

To quote Wayne and Garth, "I'm not worth, I'm not worthy!" (Sorry about the Wayne's World reference, it's still my favorite movie. Hmmm maybe I should put that on my blog? )

I spent one night (or two) going back to the beginning of your blog and reading every post. I laughed out loud when I read something that said, "JD said I should think about getting some business cards." It's very inspirational to see that you were once like us, at the beginning.

Thank you for all you do and all you give back,

I've done the same as some others above- the first time I saw your blog, I had to take several nights and go back and read from the beginning. I love your photos and your willingness to share your story and your advice on your blog. Your posting here was so great, too! Thanks!

Jasmine, thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us. This is very helpful to me since I'm kind of in the beginning stages of trying to get a business going. I really appreciate you coming here to share!

Hi Peas!
You have NO idea how wonderful it is to hear some of you have read my journey from the start...I definitely want people to know I started with nothing...had verrrry little money...didn't know anything about digital photography...but somehow found a way to follow my passion. I have no doubt you will do the same!

THanks JAsmine... you said it right... when someone is calling to have "You" to photograph them.. you must be doing something right.
