Phil Santos went through the Triple Threat Program and he was able to double his prices and book 6 weddings in 2 months. Holy cow! I love this deep conversation. He really explains the true meaning of what we do as event pros. Phil Santos has been using music to bring people together since 2013. He is an award-winning Miami-based wedding DJ who started his career helping millennials and gen z fight loneliness through community-focused dance parties. His passion is to elevate the typical wedding reception into a fulfilling experience of music, family and community. Hot Topic - The philosophy of music and how it connects us - the loneliness epidemic and how we fight it as wedding pros - the importance of having a WHY - Authenticity and having an edge in your marketing Reach out to Phil https://www.instagram.com/djphilsantos Connect with Carissa Woo https://www.instagram.com/carissawoo

Happy Woo Wednesday! Tom Chelednik (director of Wedding Pro) is in the Get a HECK YES house I heard Tom speak at the WIPA Pricing for Profits events at Ebell Santa Ana and he brought down the house. I had to interview him because I know you will love him too. The market is  more competitive than ever and you have to create a lead follow up process that not only stays at the top of the couple's inbox, but also the lead content needs to encourage a two way conversation while building trust and rapport. Tom has been in the wedding industry for 16 + years. He has had many different roles at The Knot, but always helping wedding pros book more weddings. He also was the COO of two Lux wedding venues so he understands what is like to be a wedding Pro. Hot Topic Following up on leads.

Happy Woo Wednesdays. I have Chiell-Ann in the Get a HECK YES house, well-known wedding planner. She went through my program The Triple Threat because she wanted a brand message rebrand and to get on the preferred venue list. In less than 2 months, she has a new brand message, new website, new instagram and sales deck. She used my strategies to get on her 1st preferred venue list after being in the industry since 2017. I'm so proud of her. Check out her new brand here. https://www.loveandlife.events/ Today we talk about Diversifying your biz to have multiple revenue streams and outsourcing to save you time. Chiell is a mom of 3 so this topic is very near and dear to her heart. She strives for balance because she ended up in the hospital because she overworked herself. Something had to change. She now leans on her team to be out at the wedding. She helps wedding pros get their time back by linking them up with a virtual assistant from the Philippines for a fraction of the cost. She also sells a beauty line. All of these things align with her brand and her core values ; Family and balance.

Happy Woo Wednesdays! The weather doesn't need to cause stress or anxiety. Just like every other aspect of your or your client's wedding day, you can plan for it and take steps to mitigate any severe risks. In my experience, even when it rains, it never ruins a wedding. Plan for the unexpected, learn how to set expectations with your clients, and always find the positive side of every situation and every type of weather pattern. Whether clients experience "perfect" weather or "awful" weather, they still end up having the best wedding ever! 1. Weather apps are not meant for wedding planners … in the same way that Spotify isn't meant to replace a wedding band. While these apps can predict daily weather, they often lack the context needed for detailed planning. 2. Severe weather, like thunderstorms, hurricanes, blizzards, and heat waves, demands a deeper dive into preparedness and understanding. It's not solely about knowing if a storm will hit but grasping the potential impacts on your event. 3. It is key for you to understand your legal responsibility and how to avoid putting yourself in a risky legal situation if there is a weather emergency at your event. Andrew Leavitt founded Ironic Reports, a Concierge Event Meteorology Service. Ironic is trusted by some of the biggest names in the wedding industry, including Rafanelli Events, Marcy Blum, and Colin Cowie. Ironic focuses on everything from drizzles to severe weather and can even help you choose the safest place for your dream wedding.

Happy Woo Wednesdays! What a powerful episode. Stop creating MORE content and repurpose what you have instead! Isabel Chen is amazing.  She may be a digital marketer, but her science background means that she trusts data - and if the data says most of your sales come from non-social media methods (e.g. networking) , she's gonna tell you that's where you should focus ;) Isabel's a scientist turned digital marketer who specialises in Pinterest marketing and content creation. After working for 4 years as a social media manager team of one in a non-profit, she is passionate about showing online business owners how to save time when it comes to their marketing. My hot topic would be how content repurposing can save you HOURS in your marketing. 1. How repurposing content to other platforms (e.g. Instagram to Pinterest) can boost your reach 2. Repurposing Longform content (e.g. a blog) to shortform content (e.g. IG carousel) means you don't have to think of new content ideas but build more brand awareness 3. Repurposing lets you reinforce your message - they say someone needs to see/hear a message at least 7 times before they buy Only for HECK YES listeners.

Sav hopes to  encourage you to start with what they have so you don't have to have the latest and greatest of everything for your gear kit in a world of commercialism and consumerism  You are the magic behind your work, NOT your gear Hot topic: Worrying more about gear than telling your client's story does them a disservice. 1. A skilled filmmaker who understands light, story, composition, color etc can take even the cheapest or most outdated equipment and still work with it. 2. Storytelling will stand the test of time and will be what moves your clients to show their film to the children, grandchildren, etc, and a big part of storytelling is audio. I integrate high quality audio with my films. 3. Gear is just a tool. The meat of what matters in your work and business is how well you serve your clients, listen to and meet their needs, and give them an heirloom that will last generations.

Check out the videos Larry made for me. https://www.carissawoophotography.com/ https://heckyesmedia.co/about Larry is a video content strategist. This is different from a videographer who shows up and hands clients a recap/highlight film. Larry listens to your business goals and accesses where video could save you money, time, or increase relationships. No one else in the video segment is serving wedding professionals directly with 1 on 1 service. This is a specialty of his. What is your best HECK YES technique. By listening first. Not everyone wants more sales. Some want their time back from onboarding new clients, or from current clients. Video can solve a lot of problems but I have to first hear what a business owner is telling me...and often they dont even know what their problem is but something is slowing them down.

Madeline is the most magnetic person on social media, go check her out. https://instagram.com/healthy_madeline Madeline Evergreen is a Human Design Reader and a Somatic Breathwork Practitioner. She started her career at the young age of 14 teaching group fitness and Pilates and eventually moved into nutrition coaching.

Happy Woo Wednesdays! You have to know your numbers if you want to run a profitable business. Let's chat about it with my friend Cara from Peach Sky Book Keeping. Meet Cara - I'm a mama of 2, wifey, and owner of Peach Sky Bookkeeping. Chasing beautiful beach sunsets in Southern CA with my kiddos and helping our female business owners feel empowered through their finances will ALWAYS be my jam. Our DFY bookkeeping services allow tax season to be a breeze, have clients profiting more and actually paying themselves, while using their numbers as a resource to scale their business. What is your hot topic : 4 steps to stress free bookkeeping that will make tax season a breeze: 1. Separate business and personal - For the average biz owner, you really only need the one checking and one savings account for tax savings used strictly for business (I love Relay Bank). If you're good with credit cards, a business credit card is great to earn points and perks. I personally love the Chase ink card. Keep business and personal separate, this not only makes bookkeeping simpler, it also protects you legally. 2. Simplify your systems - you don't need to collect income 5 million different ways or use 3 different CRM systems all doing the same thing. There are sooo many different softwares out there (especially for photographers) but the simpler the better. This allows for easier tracking of income and expenses. My personal favorites for collecting income are Dubsado backed by Stripe and Paypal Business for paying subcontractors (extra pro tip - ONLY attach your business bank accounts to these payment processors that way you don't comingle and income and expenses are still only in your biz accounts.) 3. Get in an accounting software - this will again allow your bookkeeping process to be simple, streamlined, and automated. You can connect your business bank and credit card accounts and some CRM systems to the software. My preferred software is Xero due to it's affordability, user friendly platform, and customer support. Xero allows you to set up rules for certain transactions that really only take a click to be recorded. This allows for no missed income and more importantly recording all expenses aka tax deductions. 4. Do your bookkeeping AT LEAST monthly. This allows it to be less overwhelming , daunting, and transactions don't pile up. You should also be looking your numbers at least monthly to see how your business is doing and from there you can use data driven information to make informed business decisions. (and if you know deep down you aren't going to do it - OUTSOURCE to me!)

Happy Woo Wednesdays! Today we are going to chat about Getting started in wedding photography with my friend Benny Chiu www.bycphotography.com [http://www.bycphotography.com/] His fave HECK YES sales technique is Connection Connection Connection and providing tips that they may not have considered. Benny never set out to be a full-time photographer. Sure, he loved documenting memories from the age he could first work a camera, but he always feared a career as a creative was too risky and not in the cards for him. He would go on to spend 15 years as an engineer and graduate with his MBA before he realized he wasn't happy in his profession. He decided he was finally ready to jump in feet first and pursue his passion in photography. In that moment, BYC Photography was born, but just as with anything worth attaining, the beginning was challenging and full of second guessing. Over the course of his career in photography, Benny had to start from the ground up and in doing so learned from some of the best in the industry. More than a decade since, Benny has won multiple international awards, taught at Canon Live, and has been featured and published in digital and in print regionally and nationally. Benny now serves as a brand ambassador for Imagen AI and maintains that success begins with a dream, a vision, and a choice. - Getting started in wedding photography 1. Established a reputation within the photography community as a go-to 2nd or 3rd photographer or even as simple as being an assistant 2. Find a mentor 3. Hone your craft - photography techniques, sales and interview skills 4.
