    Ben and I are renovating our home, and part of that includes picking out a fireplace (hurray!). We thought it would be simple—walk into a store, pick one out, order. But instead, we had three wildly different experiences. And by the end, I realized this had everything to do with what's working in sales right now in 2025.Quick summary: Store #1: all the friendly chit-chat, but we left without answersStore #2: bombarded us with pushy sales tactics (eww)Store #3: the expert who guided us with clarity and confidence, making the decision easy. Guess who got our business?This same dynamic is happening in the wedding industry right now. Clients don't want to be sold to. They don't need a new best friend. They need an expert guide—someone who knows exactly what they want before they do and makes booking a no-brainer.If you've been feeling like couples aren't moving forward, or you're losing them to cheaper options, this episode is for you. I break down: ✔ The key mistake most are making in sales (without realizing it) ✔ What today's clients actually need to feel confident booking ✔ How to be the “just right” choice—without pressure or discountingWhen you show up as the trusted expert, couples won't just book you—they'll refer you before they've even signed the contract. That's what's working in 2025.Successful Creatives make the world brighter.

    Have you ever felt stuck in a routine that doesn't align with the life you truly want—like you're just getting by instead of thriving?That was me in 2013. At that time, my hubby Ben was grinding away, spending 60+ hours a week away from our family (baby boy #2 had just arrived on the scene!) for a career he didn't love. It was a “wake up - go to work - go to sleep - repeat” kind of life that we knew wasn't for us.But change requires action. And for us, that meant figuring out how to turn my “glorified hobby” into a real business—that could replace Ben's salary, cover health insurance, and give us the freedom to not just survive, but to live a life that excites us. We set a huge, slightly terrifying goal: add $150,000 to our revenue in 12 months.At first, it felt kind of impossible…until we broke it down:$150K in a year became 30 weddings at $5K each30 weddings meant booking just 2.5 per monthSuddenly, it wasn't about how to leave a “stable” job but how to book a few more clients each monthI worked harder than ever that year…but in July of 2014, Ben handed in his notice and we stepped into the life we'd dreamed of.This journey wasn't just about money—it was about creating time, freedom, and the ability to be present for our family. It's about showing up for the moments that matter most.Here's the thing: achieving your vision doesn't have to be overwhelming. It starts with clarity on what you truly want and a step-by-step plan to get there. When you break down big goals into actionable pieces, they stop feeling impossible.If this story sparks something in you—a vision for your own life or business—know that it's possible. Whether your goal is to hit a financial milestone, redefine your work-life balance, or simply dream bigger, I'm here to help. Tune into this week's episode of the Successful Creatives podcast to hear the behind the scenes on how I “manifested” an additional $150,000 in 12 months, so that you can make your dreams a reality now.Let's make this year the one where everything changes.Successful Creatives make the world brighter.

    Imagine it's breakfast time.You wake up starving and head to the kitchen to make some eggs and toast, but you're sleep deprived and forget to turn on the burner. The eggs don't cook.When you finally realize, you turn on the burner and after an extra long time, the eggs are ready…not awesome, but edible. And the toast is cold.Think of a sales system as a pre-heated pan, with the burner on just the right temperature. Drop an egg (or in this case, your lead) onto that sizzling surface, and it cooks up perfectly every time. A sales system heats things up before clients even walk in, showing off your value and building desire in a clear, repeatable way.I share the story of how focusing on my sales system—without changing my website, portfolio, or client experience—brought me an additional $38,000 in one year! I also unpack why every business needs this setup first. From standing out in a sea of ads to raising perceived expertise, a good sales system builds desire and guides clients smoothly to a ‘yes' without discounts or endless persuasion.Tune in to learn how this approach shifts your business from struggling over every price point to confidently showcasing your worth.

But what if I told you there's a missing piece in that journey that could be costing you bookings, aligned clients, and even revenue? Most creatives divide the client journey into two stages: the pre-client stage (inquiries and leads) and the client stage (booked and working together).

Let's just say I'm a work in progress.Luckily I met THE expert in this area, NJ Shelsby who sat down to give me some tips on how to get more done, with less stress. You see, she was overworked and stressed that it disrupted her family and health so much that she experienced a scary bout of short term memory loss.“I was driving to a doctor's appointment and I couldn't remember how to get there. As in, I'm driving around for 10-15 minutes and have no idea on how to get there. And it was very scary and when I got to the doctor's office, he was panicked for me.”Her doctor told her “you have to take immediate steps to reduce your stress level.”If you've been feeling stressed or disorganized, or get to the end of your day and wonder where the time went, never quite making  enough progress on your business - you're not alone. Check out these stats:Internet usage in the workplace accounts for а 40% loss of productivity (ohhhh, we know the scroll!)Work overload decreases productivity by 68% (so wait, the more work you have, the less gets done?! Oof)Here are 3 quick tips to increase productivity:     1.  Absolute clarity - what's important RIGHT NOW.     2.  Focus leak boundaries - identify things that steal your focus and set boundaries during your “work times” like turn email notifications off, close tabs, silence your phone, etc.     3.  Structure your schedule around your most productive times:                a. Deep think times - like big projects                b. Shallow focus times - like emails, editing, etc.NJ shares the free software she's using now to help her get organized and increase productivity, and does a little live coaching that will undoubtedly help.Connect with Erica@theewingsstudioEpisode blog postConnect with NJwww.njshelsby.comFree Training with NJGet out of overwhelmthesuccessfulcreatives.com

AND she's getting ghosted a ton.Oh and her prices are a steal.What's going on?The first mistake is in her initial inquiry email.Well-thought, she provides EVERYTHING her potential new client needs to know about working with her in the first email. No question left unanswered, how helpful is that? It turns out, it's actually not really helpful at all.You see, sales is a process. And if you offer a higher-ticket service (i.e., a 4-5 figure wedding photographer), it's not designed to be done in one step.Consider that each step of the sales process should focus on just one thing - move your potential client to the next step.Your website should move them to submit the form. Your emails should move them to schedule a consultation. Your consultation should move them to book.Provide just enough so they want to move one step forward.Revisit your initial inquiry email and see how yours stacks up.

Something about her kind of rubs me the wrong way, and I'm just not that into her. However, I did get roped into going to a concert of hers on a girls trip down in Nashville this past weekend. And it inspired this podcast episode because within about an hour I'd say even as little as 5 minutes, I went from a casual, honestly pink avoider. I was like switching the station when pink comes on the radio, to transforming into an absolute super-fan in such a short amount of time.
