IPS (In-person Sales) Mentoring Course For Photographers 
Ok my fellow Photographers, raise your hand if you’ve had one or more of these thoughts:
I’m over worked and burning out
I’d would like to service my clients better
I’d like to try IPS but I’m overwhelmed and don’t know how to start
You want to try IPS but are afraid no one will book, I will be too expensive
I don’t want to be a pushy sales person
I don’t have the time
I’m too shy to sell
 If I had a dollar for every Photographer who has said these things to me. If I can do it…so can you!  Self proclaimed introvert here and I’ve been successfully doing IPS for 4 years now.
What the heck is IPS?  Let’s start with what it’s not…IPS is not just for high-end ritzy photographers. It’s not some sleazy sales person tactic that’s pushy and it’s not a way to scam anyone out of money..lol
IPS stands for in person sales, it’s a selling strategy. It’s a way to service your clients better while still valuing your art and time. It’s simply a process in which you help design and guide your clients on how they will display their finished images.
Who is this course for?  This course is for Photographers in business, seasoned Pro’s and newbies. Everyone is welcome, community over competition.
The Details /What will I learn? 
During this 5 week beginner mentoring course you will learn everything you need to get you started with IPS.
Each week we will chat via phone for 1 hour.
You will learn just what IPS is, how it can be beneficial to your clients and elevate your business.
You will learn who your ideal client is and why it is important.
You will learn how to calculate your cost of doing business, cost of goods and figure out your desired wages.
You will figure out which pricing structure works best for your business and create a price list.
I will walk you through a pre-session consultation from start to finish
We will talk about packaging, software, and vendors.
You will learn how to have a successful reveal/ ordering appointment.
I will role play the entire process with you to make sure you are starting your IPS journey with confidence.
Freebies!! As a bonus you will receive my initial client phone call script so you know exactly what to say when you get potential clients on the phone, My ideal client worksheet and blurb, A list of my favorite vendors, An IPS basic start up checklist, My sample questionnaire, my sample client survey, and a step by step ordering appointment guide.
How it works: First I will send you a questionnaire, this will help you decide if this course is right for you and if you have the time to invest in this course. Once we review the questionnaire I will reach out to you and if you are ready to start  I will send over an invoice, together we will decide on dates and times that work for everyone. I am very flexible so don’t worry about scheduling.
Cost: Our One- One 5 week mentoring course via Phone or Skype : $1495
 Additional mentoring time is $199 per hour,  for those who want on-going support packages can be purchased.
While IPS is a great business model, it’s not a magic pill and will take time to see results. How successful you are depends on you.. your goals and most importantly your mindset!
Before you mentor with me I ask you to consider these few things.
You must have the time to invest in this journey, getting ready to make the switch to IPS can be time consuming but so worth it. Work smarter not harder.
You will need to invest in product samples as well as some printed material for marketing.
Contracts may need to be updated as well as websites and marketing materials.
