SFPP 97: Speaking Sales With Shawna Beckmann Jan 02, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Shawna’s going to help you get paid!

Most creatives have a love/hate relationship with sales.

We tend to think of sales as something ”icky”.

Shawna Beckmann helps creatives get paid by helping them understand the “sales conversation” without compromising their values.

Over the last few years, Shawna’s been able to teach sales in a new way to designers and creatives.

She believes that selling is something you do with someone, rather than what you do to them.

SFPP 94: Getting To Where You Want To Go With Casi Yost Sep 27, 2018

Show notes

On today’s episode, we get the opportunity to chat with a photographer who is in the trenches!

Casi Yost is a wedding photographer + educator based out of McMinnville Oregon. She is a passionate advocate for the community over competition movement and hands-on education. In addition to being a wedding photographer, Casi co-founded the Beyond Workshop to help women establish their foot in the industry.

However, it wasn’t long ago that Casi was trying to decide whether or not full-time photography was still in her cards.

This is why I’m excited to talk with Casi because, for many of us, the struggle is real.

We know where we want to be, but we just may not know how to get there.

In today’s episode, Casi and I discuss how she closed the gap on where she wanted to be vs. where she currently was.
