Bridal Beauty Boss Podcast by Susan Talamantes

Intro: If you want to know how to deliver EXACTLY what your Bride wants, EVERY SINGLE TIME, then this episode is for you! It's taken me plenty of years to develop this fool proof method and I've seen a 100% success rate since implementing this process. And this process even works with super indecisive brides!

Discuss with them The key here is listening to what they're saying Ask the right questions. What's their skin like, how much makeup do they wear on a normal basis, how much coverage do they want, do they prefer matte or dewy finish? Now I'm gonna lose a lot of you when I say this next sentence BUT sometimes clients aren't prepared with photos and this process STILL works! Take it SLOW! Once you've almost completed the look, no liner, no lashes, you can show them the mirror and get feedback and give them options for moving forward (we can add or take away) The reason why you WAIT until they're almost complete is because a lot of times it's hard for them to visualize what the rest of the makeup would look like Lastly when it comes to eyelashes, they can make or break the style. Eyelashes come in all shapes and sizes and can have positive or negative effects on the eyes. Be sure to select the right style for the makeup look, the clients eye shape and to compliment their natural lashes. After you're completely done and you show them the mirror, always ask if there's anything else they'd like, any adjustments they would like to make. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bridalbeautyboss/message

INTRO: It can be frustrating and disappointing when Bride's ghost! A lot of times this happens after you send them pricing. In this episode I share a few tips to prevent Bride's from ghosting you!

Sharing things that Brides can relate to on your stories or reels, any common interests that your Brides might be able to relate to. When you post yourself, speaking face to camera, you become a real person. Bridal Phone Consults: Just the fact that you're spending your time with them already sets you apart from other HMUAS and that makes them feel appreciative, gains their respect and trust. FOLLOW UP: My last tip is super simple. Follow up!! What are you scared of? If you don't have time, set up an automated sequence of follow up emails. You can do this through HoneyBook by the way ( I have a discount code for HB at the link below BTW) Follow up until you get an answer, either at some point they will say they're ready OR they'll say they went another direction / hired someone else. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bridalbeautyboss/message

INTRO: What a ride it's been! The Wedding demand has been so high & it's leaving every Wedding vendor feeling SO freakin exhausted! Every year since 2020 my calendar has been booked with weddings every day of the week and I know I'm not the only one experiencing this! And every year I said I was going to take less weddings, have more self discipline and 2 years later I feel like I've finally gotten the hang of it! So I want to share with you a few things you can do to set boundaries within your business and STOP the overwhelm!! SHOW NOTES: GET YOUR SYSTEMS IN ORDER: In most cases, if you're feeling overwhelmed, it's because your systems are not fully optimized. What does that mean? That means you need 1. A CRM client Relations Management system and then workflows & automations within there so that you can save SO MUCH time on responding to inquiries and managing bookings. This is the part everyone hates the most but it's the MOST crucial for your business!! If you need help with this, book a biz besties session with me, a 90 minute private session where I can hold your hand and walk you through each step to set this up in the easiest , most simplified way possible!! SET BOUDARIES: define how many bookings per week or month, will allow you to feel well rested Once you have that number, do some math, do you need to raise your rates in order to still bring in your desired income? (ofcourse there's a ton more that goes into raising rates but here I'm focusing on your desired income) IT'S OK TO SAY NO: Give yourself permission to turn away weddings!! Know when you are saying NO to a wedding, you are saying YES to living a balanced & refreshed life! DO SOMETHING RELAXING: Reward yourself for all the hard work you've put in recently. Get a massage, schedule a nail appointment, take a nature walk, read a book on the beach, spend time with your kids! Whatever is going to fuel your soul!
