I have a lot of people come to my webinars and some are wondering when is the right time for them to jump in, to buy wedding photography software to help them grow their business.
[themify_box style=”blue note rounded” ]ShootZilla doesn’t focus mainly on wedding photographers, but it does have a wonderful library of templates for wedding, newborn, portrait, senior, family photographers and so on.[/themify_box]
Now I totally agree that software is not always the right step to grow your business.
When is it not the right time to invest in software?
- You are in debt.
> Be very mindful of where you invest your money. Focus on paying off debt first because debts have a tendency to weigh you down and give you more stress to think about. You don’t want to add to that. - You are still in the early stage of your business, meaning you only shoot a wedding once every 2-3 months, or have an average of 2 portrait shoots a month.
> This can still easily be managed with your normal calendar or task list system.
When is it a good time to use wedding photography software to grow your business?
See if you can find yourself in one of the below statements.
#1 You are working all the time and feel like you have no life left.
Get your ass into ShootZilla. Organize your tasks and set clear deadlines for your clients so you can over deliver on them. Within weeks, you will have your life back. You will be able to look at your dashboard at 5 PM and say in the loudest way possible: “It’s a wrap people!!!” and head over to the kitchen for a glass of wine. #guiltfree #Ohyeah
#2 You are forgetting things now and then.
A follow-up, a call, a promise to call back, a note on the wishes for their albums, an email to inform them about your print & album selection, maybe even an appointment? Don’t let it slip too far. Get your business organized as soon as possible so you know for sure that everything is under control and you can sleep like a baby. And you’ll make more revenues by booking more jobs and being super consistent in upselling.
#3 You are always ‘in your head’ going over things.
You are running your business 24/7. When you are not shooting or behind your computer, you are going over things in your head. Get some headspace quick! Life is too short to spend all your focus & energy with your business and your clients. Get everything in ShootZilla so you have your undivided attention with your loved ones when you are with them, or with your clients when you are with them!
#4 Your business is doing okay but you wished it would be less of a struggle.
Perfect clients coming to your doors instead of you having to track them down after an inquiry and then having to answer queries on price. More referrals, more bookings, more money in the bank. Just plain simple more ease. With the ShootZilla tool at your fingertips, you will create that business with more ease. In a year, you can’t imagine how things have changed for you!
