#214: The 5-Zone Method to Finding Perfect Photography Clients

Have you ever gotten a lead for your photography business, invested time and energy into explaining what you do and how you do it, only to be met with a disappointing response… or no response at all?    What if you could all but avoid that painful experience by separating your leads into five clear zones?    Today I’m talking to Allie Cline, who developed a five zone method for identifying right-fit clients in your photography business!    In our conversation today, we’ll cover:    How a TikTok trend started Allie’s five zone method. How to avoid the “danger zone” of leads who will never turn into clients.  Why taking on not “perfect” clients may still be the right thing for your business. One of the most common traps photographers fall into when looking for clients.    Allie originally shared this method at my three-day event just for boutique photographers, so if you missed out, here's your second chance to hear it!   And make sure to grab her five zone method graphic below, so you can follow along every time you get a new lead.   FIVE ZONE METHOD GRAPHIC: RESOURCES: WORTH EVERY PENNY JOYCAST SHOW NOTES: https://photographybusinessinstitute.com/podcast/episode-214 SHOW TRANSCRIPT:  Click Here BOUTIQUE BREAKTHROUGH – 8-WEEK WORKSHOP www.joyofmarketing.com/boutiquebreakthrough INSTAGRAM – DM me “Conversation Starters” for some genuine ways to strike up a conversation about your photography business wherever you are. https://www.instagram.com/sarah.petty  FREE COPY: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING BOOK FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS www.joyofmarketing.com/freebook  FREE FACEBOOK GROUP: Join and get my free mini-class: How I earned $1,500 per client working 16 hours a week by becoming a boutique photographer. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ditchthedigitals  YOUTUBE: Check out my latest how to videos:  https://www.youtube.com/c/thejoyofmarketing  LOVE THE SHOW?
