Haven't updated you guys on the new office space lately. In pretty short order, it's changing the way we do business. Having meetings there is a completely different animal than sbux or panera. I have a 50" TV which plays a constant slideshow and we use a Bose Soundlink mini to play some light music for ambiance. Last week, we had 1 sales meetings ($3.4k sale booked) , a bridal session and a headshot session for a country music artist. This week, I have 3 sales meetings and almost certain to book this evening (they attended one of our weddings last year). When prospects contact us now, I usually start just enough conversation to get them talking then ask if they want a meeting at our office. We share space with a record exec and the first thing they see when they walk in is a wall full of gold records. Seems to have a pretty dramatic impact.
I have to be honest, it's a bit more tiresome for me as each evening I feel like I'm leaving the 1st job and headed to the 2nd. The bridal last week was really cool. When the girl got there she noticed we had a 16X20 canvas from her engagement session. My wife gifted it to her and she displayed it at this past weekend's wedding (the one where I played the wrong 1st dance song), along with a gorgeous 16X20 print from the session. Incidentally, here's the bridal session from that bride, which was done in our tiny little office space. The shot she used was top-left, 2nd photo.
Sneak Peek
I'm still hustling to make it happen but things are falling in line probably better than I expected. Looking forward to watch it develop as time goes on.
