💯💯💯 “Getting to know the clients is one of the more important things just because they feel like you're invested in them. I think anyone wants to feel special. And that's what I'm here for.” - Kelly Aoki

💯💯💯 "If this is your first point of communication with a potential client, make it a good impression. Be detailed, be brief, be quick."

💯💯💯 "If you can identify your client's needs and come up with ideas before they've even had the chance to put them up on their own drawing board. You've transformed your own brand in their eyes, instead of seeing you as a photographer, and just that. Maybe now they see you as a brand strategist. Instead of viewing you as a contractor, maybe they see you as part of the team."

💯💯💯 "Whether this is a paid or collaborative photoshoot, the quality of communication you provide to your team is going to have a big role in your project's success or failure."

💯💯💯 "You're not just a photographer, you're also sales, your marketing, your the legal department, accounting, r&d, customer service, the list goes on, you don't have anybody to pass the buck to. So I asked you How comfortable are you taking the time to learn things like intellectual property so that you can educate your clients on the appropriate usage? How comfortable are you negotiating terms on a contract or preparing an estimate or trying to collect on delinquent payments? This not only takes time to learn, it takes time to execute as well."

💯💯💯 "The title of this show is called, Artrepreneurs, and it is very intentionally pluralized. I want this show to be inviting, to be inclusive and collaborative.  I want everyone who listens to the show, to feel like they are an entrepreneur, that they belong in this community without any real initiation process. If you're tuning into the show each week, we're all in this together. That's what's important. That's what I'm striving for."
