If I gave you a powerful way to book more weddings, would you use it?

When I “discovered” this and put it to work, it had a profound impact on my wedding business.  It helped me grow my wedding business steadily and with peace of mind. Then for some silly reason I stopped using it. 

 

(Don't waste time or else you'll go broke)

 

I did the same thing when a friend gave me a very simple diet that helped me lose 30 pounds. I followed the rules, lost the weight and then fell back into old habits.  My pants were growing but my business was not. 

Thankfully I caught myself – I went back to what worked and got the results I wanted. I lost the weight and the business doubled.

Now, I will give you the big secret – but I guarantee only a few wedding vendors reading this will give it a try for at least 30 days. Most will just nod and say, “That sounds good,” and take no action. Others will try for a week or two and give up.

To grow your wedding business, do this:

1. Set an aggressive but realistic revenue goal for the year.
2. Divide it by twelve to get your monthly goal.
3. Divide that number by the number of working days in the month. Now you know what you have to hit every day.
4. Figure out what actions you need to take to get reach that goal. How many leads? How many phone calls? How many postcards to brides do you need to mail? How many sales appointments do you need to schedule?
5. Keep your goal and your daily tasks in front of you.
6. Review them in the morning – review them every night.
7. Plan out your day the night before and stick to that plan.
8. Make marketing your top priority. No excuses.

Be honest with yourself and take consistent action. Plan your work, work your plan.

And the diet?  Don’t eat cheese, bread or butter. Eat less red meat. Take more walks.  That’s it. Don’t over-complicate things!  Get started."

What do you think?  Can you do it?
