Most portrait photographers are accidental entrepreneurs - they're talented artists who wake up one day and think, "hey... maybe I could actually make some money doing this thing I love!" Fast forward a few years and the vast majority of those artists have closed up shop, not because they didn't have the talent, but because running a business - no matter how small - can be super-challenging. If any of this resonates, I'm excited you're here. My name is Annemie Tonken, and I've been a portrait photographer in Chapel Hill, NC since 2010. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to build a profitable, sustainable business in such a competitive field, but it didn't happen by chance. In 2017, faced with the prospect of having to close the business I loved to go back to my "real job," I created a system that is now used by thousands of photographers worldwide to make more money in less time while still providing an amazing customer service experience. Welcome to The Simple Sales System for Portrait Photographers - a ten-part mini-series where we'll deep-dive the system, how it works, why it works, and who it works for. I'm so excited to be able to share this system with you! Plug in your earbuds and get ready to binge the whole series on your favorite podcast platform. Ready to join the Simple Sales Blueprint?
