Dear Fellow Wedding Pro,

If you’d like a step by step action plan to attract quality leads, high-end clients and book weddings at the price you really deserve, you’re in the right place.

I have a few questions for you to make sure we’re on the same page:

If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, you’re not alone. That’s exactly the frightening reality so many of us are facing and what happened to us when we started out.

We were sick of working our “day jobs” at IBM, spending longs days in a corporate environment neither one of us could stand. When Nick and I finally got up the courage to look at our finances, we discovered we were $500 short every month!

We knew we had to do something fast.

When we started our wedding entertainment business back in 2001, we had no wedding experience, no leads and no money. I didn’t know where to start, but I couldn’t let that stop me.

We based our business on what the competition was doing, figuring they must know something we didn’t. We wasted hundreds of dollars on worthless Yellow Pages and magazine ads, because we didn’t know any better. We did bridal shows and even cold calling (yuck!) trying to get leads, with little results.

I knew there had to be a better way.

I started studying internet marketing, spending thousands of dollars we didn’t have on courses and trainings. One day it hit me:

I didn’t have to work my butt off doing ALL the marketing strategies they said I was “supposed to do.” I just needed take a few simple actions every day to get the leads and bookings.

In fact, only two simple strategies were all it took to book our wedding business solid, with $123,000 in annual sales…even during the Recession!

I refined a method to make marketing simple and easy, no sleazy sales required. Over time, we became the #1 wedding expert in our highly competitive market with more leads than we could possibly book.

Things were going great for us, but I couldn’t stand seeing our wedding professional friends struggling to get the bookings because I remembered that awful feeling of desperation in my stomach from staring at our empty calendar.

So I started sharing what we’d learned. First, with through our local wedding blog and website here in New York. A few simple changes, and a photographer friend was able to start booking more of her meetings immediately. Another DJ was able to quit his job and go full-time working weddings after coaching with us for only a few months.

It’s my mission to empower wedding professionals to create the businesses and lives they love. I’m tired of seeing these passionate entrepreneurs fighting the competition for table scraps like hungry dogs…when I know how simple it can be to stand out, get noticed and create a constant stream of real leads.

Now I’d like to share what what we’ve learned through hard-earned experience about what get real results.
