Part "how to do" and part "how to think", Wit, Wisdom and the Business of Weddings is your companion on a journey to a more successful wedding business. Alan Berg has been called "the leading international speaker and expert on the business of weddings and events", and he's been writing articles and blogs for years.

When someone asks what you do, is your first response: “I’m a salesperson”? If you’re in the wedding and event industry, that’s not likely the case. Actually, if you’re in almost any service business that’s not going to be your answer. While I teach, train, and write about sales, it’s not my answer, either. If you’re like many wedding and event pros, you love providing your products and services to couples, companies, and customers more than you like the sales part.

While written for the wedding and event industry, these tips can help almost any business, as ghosting is a universal frustration. Why Are They Ghosting Me? includes a recap of the eight tips from Why Don't They Call Me? and ideas for how to handle pricing questions from Alan's most popular book: Shut Up and Sell More Weddings & Events. Whether you've listened to those books, or not, Why Are They Ghosting Me? will help you reduce the ghosting and get you more replies from prospects and current customers.

It would be so much easier if they'd just pick up the phone and call you, wouldn't it? That's what Alan Berg hears from wedding and event pros around the world. How can you create a rapport, continue the conversation they've already started, and in many cases even get the sale, without speaking with them on the phone, or in person? That's what Alan will answer for you in this book. He'll show you how to get them to reply quicker, and how you can convert those inquiries to appointments - whether live or virtual - and even make sales, all using the same method they used to reach out.

When you ask yourself better questions, you'll get better answers and better results. This is a book for everyone with a website, regardless of what you do. It's not a technical book about programming, rather it will show you how to think differently about your website. It was designed to be a quick and easy listen as I want you to get on to taking real action. Without action there can't be any change. Whether you work with a professional website designer or you're the designer, you'll discover easy things you can do to improve your current site or help you design a new one.
