Episode Overview: Nicole shares what she'd do if she was starting a brand new wedding business from scratch. She gives a no-nonsense guide with 10 simple steps to jumpstart any wedding business quickly.

10 Steps to Build a BRAND NEW Wedding Business F.A.S.T

1. Choose a Name that has specific Keywords in it (location you do business, the word "wedding" and what you do) to help with Google Ranking and SEO. For example, if I were doing beach weddings in Hawaii I could name by business "Beautiful Hawaii Beach Weddings" and get the domain www.HawaiiBeachWeddings.com (this is going to save you so much time with SEO and a step I would prioritize if I were starting over).

2. Design a Simple but Professional Website (use only professional photos, have a home page, services page and contact page, use keywords in titles and in the body text). Don't spend months on this. Make it quickly and keep things super simple.

Episode Overview: Why over-selling can push potential couples away and could be holding you back from booking more weddings - and what to do instead. Plus specific strategies to implement now to build trust and connection with couples that increase booking rates and make sales fun and so much easier.

Notable Quotes:

"Over-selling could look like talking more than listening, trying to prove that you’re worth the cost, dominating the conversation, making it all about the sale instead of what the couple actually wants and needs"

"Here’s why you over-sell: You’re scared, you don’t trust they need you. You’re not confident in your value. Or maybe you just don’t know better because you’re new at this. So, what do you do instead?"

"Connection Selling - is about listing, building trust, forming a genuine connection, helping, understanding their unique vision and problems and then providing a unique solution"
