With over a decade of experience as a wedding and family photographer, Sandra shares how chronic illness pushed her to rethink the way she was running her business and ultimately led her into the world of systems, workflows, and automation. She explains why so many wedding pros unintentionally create inconsistent client experiences by handling every inquiry manually, and how small changes can dramatically improve both conversion rates and work-life balance. Kevin and Sandra dive into the psychology behind fast inquiry responses, why follow-up emails matter more than many wedding pros realize, and how workflows can help businesses provide a more professional and consistent experience without losing the personal connection couples are looking for.
