Starting a senior rep team can be the game-changer your photography business needs, but only if you avoid the rookie mistakes that can tank your success. Whether you’re brand new to senior photography or you’re looking to pivot your existing approach, the key to building a profitable and effective senior rep team lies in learning from the missteps of others.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m diving into the five most common rookie mistakes I see senior photographers making. Spoiler alert: if your senior rep team is free, you’re already setting yourself up for disappointment. Trust me, your senior rep team should be bringing in clients and profits year-round—not running you ragged for free.

How Well Do You KNOW Your Client?

One of the biggest issues I see is photographers failing to understand what today’s Gen Z clients actually want from a senior rep team. Gen Z values authenticity and experiences more than ever, and if your team doesn’t tap into that, you’ll struggle to stand out in a crowded market.

In this episode, I break down why connecting with your audience is crucial, and how you can tailor your approach to meet their expectations. But that’s just the beginning of where things go wrong for many photographers.

Free Is NOT Advisable

Are you underpricing your rep team because you’re afraid no one will pay? That’s another huge rookie mistake. When you don’t charge what your program is worth, you attract the wrong clients, which leads to stress and less profit.

I’ve seen photographers turn their businesses around simply by implementing pricing psychology, and I show you how to do exactly that inside my Creative Team Method. Speaking of which, the Creative Team Method is currently $700 off until September 17th, 2024, so if you want a step-by-step guide to creating a rep team that markets for you year-round and brings in high-paying clients, now is the time to grab it.  Don’t miss out on transforming your senior photography business!

In the podcast, I also cover how many photographers make the mistake of overcomplicating their team management. You don’t need to spend endless hours on this. With the right systems and strategies in place, you can manage your team effortlessly.

The Solution:

I’ve done the work for you inside the Creative Team Method—where you get access to templates, content plans, and a strategy to engage your team year-round. Seriously, you don’t want to miss this episode or this sale. Your senior rep team should be making your business easier, not harder.

The bottom line is, these five rookie mistakes can make or break your senior rep team. So head over to the podcast to get the full breakdown, and don’t forget to check out the Creative Team Method—it’s the tool you need to build a senior rep team that not only markets your business but also brings in profit.
