So many frustrated wedding professionals come to me with the same question time and time again: “Why am I not booking more weddings? I'm getting myself out there, but it's just not working.”I cannot tell you how many times I've heard this exact same question in the past 12 years of doing this work. So there's something I want you to know about marketing because I feel like marketing is this kind of weird mystery to a lot of people.There's only one thing that your marketing needs to do for you to book more weddings.It needs to position you as the best choice for your potential client. And that's actually what creating the right marketing plan for your business does while saving you a ton of time and overwhelm.Want to know how to do that?

Are you struggling with fewer leads and bookings in your wedding business? Are you getting ghosted? You're not alone! Many wedding pros are facing this challenge right now. In this episode, we're diving into why you're getting ghosted by potential clients and, more importantly, how you can stop it from happening.One of the biggest frustrations wedding pros share with me is getting ghosted. It's so disappointing to get excited about an inquiry only for that person to disappear, often leading you to think it's because of your pricing.But here's the thing – ghosting is rarely about your prices. Most people underprice themselves, and the real reason you're getting ghosted has nothing to do with being too expensive. The real issue is that you're not standing out from others who offer the same services.You might think you're standing out but you're probably not. If you're ready to stand out so you can book more weddings and get ghosted less often, this episode is for you.The show notes for this episode can be found at https://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/284Get your FREE ticket to Book More Weddings Summit at https://www.bookmoreweddingssummit.com/Get your FREE ticket to Book More Weddings Summit at https://www.bookmoreweddingssummit.com/!***Did you know there are 6 pillars to building a 6 or multi-6-figure wedding business without working all the time?

“I can't wait to get to that point.”That's what one wedding pro said upon learning that the wedding pros on The Wedding Business Collective panel during Book More Weddings Summit were no longer working crazy 60+ hour weeks.But here's the thing, you shouldn't wait until you're “successful” to build your business around your life.You should start making sustainability, flexibility, and freedom a priority now. Otherwise, it'll never happen or it'll be a huge struggle to totally restructure the time-hungry business you've built.How does that work?

In today's podcast, we're going to focus on the actions you can take right now that are going to impact your next booking season and three big things that will come as a result of that.Now is absolutely the time to focus on this because engagement season is right around the corner.

One of the biggest frustrations wedding pros tell me about is ghosting. It's so frustrating to get excited when you get an inquiry only for that person to ghost you and maybe even decide to work with someone cheaper than you.A lot of people seem to think that ghosting is a judgment on their prices. I've done a ton of research on this, and I can tell you that that is almost never the case.The real reason you're getting ghosted is not about your pricing. It doesn't mean that you're too expensive. And honestly, that's a very rare thing anyway, because most people underprice themselves.Want to know what the real reason you're getting ghosted is?  Listen to this episode to find out!You can find the full show notes at https://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/252Get your FREE ticket to Book More Weddings Summit at www.bookmoreweddingssummit.com or shoot me a DM at @evolveyourweddingbusiness.

For the past 11 years, the #1 question I get about booking more weddings is “How?” How do I book more weddings? What exactly do I do?It's a question I hear non-stop and it's why I created Book More Weddings Summit.My expertise lies in marketing and in building a business that gives you the freedom and flexibility that you want to support your lifestyle but I'm not an expert in everything. I'm not an expert in TikTok or branding or consultations and those things matter so I'm gathering 25+ speakers to help you with them.Not only is this going to help you with your question about how you can book more weddings, but it's also going to get you out of your bubble because our industry can be a real echo chamber. That's a BIG problem because if you blend in with everyone else, couples have to make their decision on who to hire based on price.Want to know more about how to book more weddings with your ideal clients?
