Numbers, numbers, math, numbers...
Did I totally freak you out? Don't run away. Pretty please!!! I promise you'll like this week's episode. I get to chat with THE Alison Ellis. The flower math gal. She loves her some flower number crunching.
The Amazing Alison Ellis of Floral Artistry and Real Flower Business
We got to chat about being a florist with integrity and getting to know what it entails to be a florist that offers more than middle of the road service. I really think this is a good episode, for sure if you're maybe newer to the floral industry. There is standard pricing and no, it's not a myth or just order whatever...it's part of running a business and keeping in business.
We may not have the glam life, but we have something special, and we work damn hard for it. I throughly enjoyed this chat with Alison. I hope you will too.
Alison has numerous ways to help you out:
Email templates, workflows, proposal writing, pricing, contract help, A full flower math course and a business course called The Art of Good Business!!!
and she has free content you can try on for size too:
