When I'm working with different wedding pros, so often what I hear is we don't have enough sales!!!  or we need to increase our sales!!! However, what's actually more accurate is that they're not converting enough leads in their business. Most wedding pros don't know if they're converting enough leads in their business because they're not tracking the data. So that is what I am teaching today!

I wanna ask you, have you ever thought of writing a book? If you've been in the industry for any amount of time, you've likely been told by a friend or a coworker that you should write a book.There's so many crazy things that happen to us in this industry, right? And putting it all in a book just sounds like such a great idea. But then you start to think, maybe that's a lot of work!? I'm busy already and I don't even know where to start or how I would get it published or what it would even be about???On today's show, my guest, Jeri Solomon and Edna Dratch Parker are both wedding pros in New England and Boston, and they came together over the last several years to write a book on how to plan a wedding. What I love about this book is that they did a really great job of simply setting the foundation of wedding planning for couples for newly engaged couples.They don't get into pricing and markets. They aren't trying to replace a wedding planner. In fact, they tell you that having a wedding planner is actually super important to planning your wedding. But they do really set the foundation for engaged couples to help alleviate some of those questions that we answer over and over and over again as wedding pros. If you've ever thought about writing a book, Edna and Jeri talk about their journey of writing and publishing their book, as well as what it's done for their businesses and why you should really consider authoring a book if that's something that's been on your bucket list.So you guys, I know that you're gonna enjoy this episode, so sit back, relax, and let's get into it!!-----Join The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community on Facebook!  A free group to take the conversation past the podcast and share best practices, get quick tips you can implement today and be part of a like minded group of CEOs who are building the profitable business they've always dreamed of!

I want to share three mistakes that I see happening so often in the wedding industry. I work with so many wedding pros and I absolutely love getting to like, dig into their business and really figure out what is causing some of their stress. That stress is created by either lack of profit or a lack of time. Sometimes  just plain old overwhelm or burnout occurs too. As a wedding pro coach, I see the same mistakes over and over and over again. Mistakes that I too have made!! So, I thought, what better way to share them than to come onto the podcast and say, these are the three mistakes I see wedding Pros making, and I want help you to avoid them!-----Join The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast Community on Facebook!  A free group to take the conversation past the podcast and share best practices, get quick tips you can implement today and be part of a like minded group of CEOs who are building the profitable business they've always dreamed of!

This is such a fun conversation!!!Dallas has a group of mostly seasoned wedding planners that submit questions to her.  She then interviews wedding pros, asking them the questions and then publishes the answers to teach her audience all about building successful wedding industry businesses. She reached out and asked if she could actually interview me, I thought it would be great and we decided to air it on the podcast.

And there's a difference. So exhausted is obviously that full body exhaustion. I can't go on. I'm at my tipping point. I'm done. But saturation is when we are consuming so much content that we're not giving ourselves any white space to think creatively." -Tahnee SandersI want to ask you, have you ever heard of a three thumb scroll?
