The Pre-Consultation Process: Qualifying the LeadJen doesn't meet with everyone—she first screens inquiries to determine if they are a good fit.Her inquiry form only asks 7 key questions, including wedding date, venue, budget, and design inspiration.She sends a brochure with pricing guidance before scheduling a consultation to ensure transparency.4. Setting Up & Structuring the ConsultationUse a scheduling tool like Calendly to avoid back-and-forth emails.Jen hosts 95% of consultations on Zoom for a face-to-face experience without the travel time.She starts by building rapport—asking about the venue, couple's story, and unique details.5. Breaking Down the Consultation Process✅ Personal Flowers: Start with the bride's bouquet and work through the wedding party.✅ Ceremony Flowers: Ask about arches, aisle decor, and any additional floral needs.✅ Reception: Determine table count, centerpiece styles, and head table florals (long table garlands, installations, etc.).✅ Color & Flower Selection: Save this for the end to avoid clients getting hyper-focused on specifics too early.✅ Venue Expertise: If you've worked at their venue before, position yourself as an expert—this builds trust!✅ Closing the Consultation: Recap the discussion, set expectations, and explain next steps for booking.6. Positioning Yourself as the ExpertThroughout the conversation, drop cues that reinforce your experience (e.g., “I've done dozens of weddings at this venue.”).If the couple has a Pinterest board full of conflicting styles, help them refine their vision rather than executing exactly what they've pinned.Emphasize flexibility with floral selections—avoid promising specific blooms to reduce risk and increase creative freedom.7. Closing the Sale: The Proposal & Booking ProcessJen does provide proposals (some educators discourage this, but she believes in transparency).She does NOT send a contract until the client confirms they are moving forward.She places a 7-day soft hold on the date to encourage quick decision-making.Uses follow-up emails strategically to nudge couples toward booking.Jen's Golden Rule:
