Happy Woo Wednesdays.
I met Jen Sulak (with the pink hair) through WIPA and I instantly wanted her to be on my podcast because she is unique and unapologetically herself. She is going to welcome your Weirdness today (because we are all a little weird). She relates to her clients on a cellular level with pets or nerdy things.
I love her story about how the pandemic gave her the strength to rebrand to weirdo weddings. It was scary but her people were waiting for her.
Jen is a passionate photographer for over 17 years. She creates safe spaces where you can have the freedom to BE YOURSELF and let your personality shine through! I use Photography as a tool to not only express my inner-artist but to capture unique wedding days in Dallas (DFW) and Destinations around the USA.

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. (do you have a lead problem or a booking problem?).
* Build lead follow up content that creates trust and rapport
* Build lead follow up content that is helpful to the couples
*. Follow up at least 7 times over the course of 30 days. You are not getting ghosted you are getting lost in their inbox
