In this episode of the Difference Maker Revolution podcast, hosts Jonathan Ryle, Ronan Ryle, Jeanine McLeod, Bradley Bulmer, and Steve Saporito dive deep into the often misunderstood topic of "quality leads" in business. They challenge the widespread notion that some leads are inherently “quality” or “low-quality,” and instead argue that mindset, approach, and consistent follow-up can turn any lead into a valuable client.
The team breaks down why many businesses struggle with lead quality and explains how expectations and work ethic play crucial roles in lead conversion. They also discuss the importance of viewing every lead as an opportunity and offer actionable tips for effective follow-up strategies. The conversation highlights how changing your mindset and developing persistence can make all the difference in nurturing leads.
Bradley and Ronan share real-life examples from the photography industry, revealing how ordinary people, not just high-income clients, become the best clients when you invest time and effort into building relationships. Steve and Jeanine discuss the need to take responsibility in lead generation and persistence, showing how life circumstances might be why a client is slow to respond—not necessarily lack of interest.
They also touch on the importance of nurturing long-term relationships through regular follow-ups and storytelling, which keeps potential clients engaged and reminds them of your value.
Key Discussion Points:
The reality behind the "quality lead" myth: mindset and follow-up matter more than “perfect” leads.Why client perception is shaped by your attitude and persistence.Practical strategies for effective lead nurturing and why you should never give up after one call.Real-life examples showing that clients come from all backgrounds, not just high-income areas.The power of storytelling and regular follow-up emails to keep leads warm and ready to convert.How life circumstances impact lead response and why assumptions about “ghosting” can harm client relationships.Connect with the Difference Maker team:

In this week's episode, we delve into the common misconception that average sales value is the ultimate measure of success for a sustainable business.

Ultimately, the key to success lies in understanding that a healthy business requires a holistic approach, considering factors such as lead generation, client conversion, and delivering exceptional value.

In this episode, the team delves into the concept of never relying on a single approach, particularly when it comes to marketing strategies. Brad and Jeanine share their experiences navigating the ever-evolving landscape of client acquisition and how they have adapted their marketing over time.
Brad reveals the majority of his new business (a staggering 90%) is generated through Facebook ads. While this strategy has proven highly effective, he acknowledges the potential risks of becoming overly dependent on a single platform.
It’s important to maintain a diverse portfolio of marketing channels in case the tides turn. The key is to avoid the temptation of putting all your eggs in one basket, lest you find yourself vulnerable to the unpredictable nature of the market.

In this episode, we’re still talking about the five mega trends affecting the photographic industry. We continue on the second mega trend - the self-centric photography industry, where photographers often believe that their clients value their unique style and art rather than the emotional connection and meaning they derive from the photographs.
We also explore our third mega trend, "dual worlds". With the rise of social media people are living in both the physical and digital realms, and this has a huge impact on individuals' perceptions of the photography industry. This is closely linked to our fourth mega trend, the impact of AI on photography. Will AI surpass human capabilities? How can photographers focus on the human element?
Our final mega trend is the consumer availability of products, where the once exclusive products offered by photographers are now readily available to the general public. The team discusses each of these trends and their impact on the past, present, and future of the photography industry.

Maintaining a positive mindset is crucial for photographers, as it can significantly impact their business success. Focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems can often manifest the very solutions you’re searching for. Jeanine shares personal stories from childhood, how her mother instilled in her a positive attitude by always looking for the silver linings, and how this impacts her business today.
The team also highlights practical strategies for maintaining a positive mindset, such as setting time limits for negative thoughts and actively seeking out opportunities for growth and learning. The ability to pattern interrupt and try new approaches when faced with challenges can also help photographers maintain momentum and avoid negative spirals.
