Services

I love working with aspiring planners and other new and almost new entrepreneur’s who take a no excuses approach to doing whatever it takes to get the results they want.  On a limited basis, I offer one on one, consulting services to wedding planners and other wedding industry professionals who are in the startup or re-organization phase of their company.

Consulting services to help you find answers for the following questions:

• Is this business really for me?
• What education and training will I need?  Should I gain hands on experience before I start my business?
• How do I get clients? Consistently?
• What should I include in my service packages?  What products should I offer, if any?
• Should I create a business or marketing plan? How will it help me?
• How do I keep track of all my income and expenses?
• How do I start a blog?

Building a business begins with several critical steps.  “Before the Bride” consists of 10 steps/7 modules full of worksheets and various other goal setting exercises to help you identify several key business elements needed BEFORE you take on that first bride:

Step 1 - Taking Inventory of Your Passion, Talent and Skills
Step 2 - Branding and Niching and What It All Means
Step 3 – Create Compelling Marketing That “Pulls” Clients In, Instead of “Pushing” to Get Them To Hire You
Step 4 – It’s All In the Plans: Overview of the Business Plan and the Organizational Plan
Step 5 – It’s All In The Plans 2: Overview of the Operations Plan and the Marketing Plan
Step 6 - Packaging and Pricing Your Services
Step 7 - The Art of the Sale
Step 8 - Finances – How Much Will You Need to Start Your Business?
Step 9 - ABC’s – Accounting, Bookkeeping and Cash Flow
Step 10 - Choosing the Right Business Structure

There are a few different options for you to choose from:
