    Wedding Business Solutions

    If weddings and events are all or part of your business, you’re in the right place.

    The Wedding Business Solutions podcast is where you’ll get real-world ideas to help you sell more, profit more, and maybe even enjoy the process a little more, too.

    Hosted by Alan Berg CSP, FPSA, one of the wedding and event industry’s most experienced sales and marketing speakers, each bite-sized episode gives you practical, easy-to-use ideas you can apply right away. Whether it’s converting more inquiries, following up without sounding pushy, improving your website, handling ghosting, raising your prices with confidence, or using AI in ways that actually help your business, Alan shares insights with his signature mix of common sense, experience, and humor.

    Alan is the author of 16 books, including AI for the Real World and Shut Up and Sell More. He’s also been named one of the “Top 100 Speakers to Watch in 2025” for the third year in a row by Motivator Music on LinkedIn, and is one of only 46 Global Speaking Fellows worldwide.

    Some episodes are just Alan sharing ideas and stories from decades in sales and the wedding industry. Other episodes feature conversations with industry pros, entrepreneurs, and experts who can help you work smarter, make more money, and create better experiences for your clients.

    If you’ve ever thought:
     “Why are they ghosting me?”
     “How do I book more of the right clients?”
     “Why does my website get traffic but not inquiries?”
     “What should I actually be using AI for?”
     …you’ll probably feel right at home here.

    You can read full transcripts of every episode at podcast.AlanBerg.com.

    Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes, workshops, and ideas you can put to work immediately.

    Are you still not replying to reviews? Oct 04, 2023
    Show notes

    I’ve done episodes about reviews before, so this time I want to address why so many wedding and event pros still aren’t replying to your good reviews. Many of you are replying to the less than stellar reviews, but not every review. Why not? You’re missing a great opportunity to stand out. Don’t worry, you don’t have to reply to every review you’ve ever gotten… just some. I spell that out in this episode as well.

    Listen to this new 12-minute episode for why you should reply to all of your reviews, starting today!

    How do you handle quiet, non-responsive customers? Sep 27, 2023
    Show notes

    This is another listener suggestion, this time from Brian in South Florida.

What are some different questions? How do you get the quiet ones talking?

    Who's the real decision maker? Sep 20, 2023
    Show notes

    I was doing a sales training for a small group and the question came up about figuring out who the decision maker is when you’re dealing with a group of people. In this episode I expand on this topic to figuring out who the decision-maker is when you’re on the phone, or when you don’t get to meet with everyone who will be involved in the final decision.

    Listen to this new 8-minute episode for some tips to help you figure out when you’re dealing with all of the decision-makers.

    Christie Osborne - Making sense of your business analytics Sep 18, 2023
    Show notes

    There are so many analytics that you can get for your business, but which ones are going to make a difference for you and your bottom line? To help bring clarity to this I invited my friend Christie Osborne to join me for a conversation about business insights. This isn’t about Google Analytics, at least not very much, and you’re going to want to hear the business metrics that you really do need to know.

    Listen to this new episode for an enlightening conversation with a really smart friend.

    About Christie

    Christie Osborne believes you should make money from your marketing. Her Agency, Mountainside Media, specializes in data-driven marketing, advertising, and research. But she’s more than just a nerdy analytics gal. Her sessions and workshops help service-based business owners get clear on their marketing numbers. Because once you get clarity around what’s actually happening (rather than what you think is happening) you can make strategic decisions in your business... and of course, make more money than you spend on marketing. As a top event industry educator, Christie frequents the national speaker circuit and is a regular contributor to top industry publications, including NACE, WIPA, The Special Event and Catersource. She is also a highly sought-after podcast guest.

    Christie’s pronouns are she/her.

    The magic of the choice of two Sep 13, 2023
    Show notes

    If you’ve heard me speak, read my books or had me do sales training, then you certainly know about the power of the choice of two. If you want someone to make a decision, you need to give them the perception of choice, while at the same time limiting their choices. That’s a balancing act, for sure, but not as difficult as it sounds. Once you can get their choices down to one or two, you can ask for the sale, and it won’t feel pushy or aggressive at all.

    Listen to this new 10-minute episode for some ways you can use the power of the choice of two in you business and even in your personal life!

    This is another great listener suggestion, from Marylee, who was having issues with a demanding client and wanted to know when and how it’s OK to fire them. This is certainly a tough situation and I’m sure it’s happened to many of you, as it has to me. There’s more to this than just saying “You’re fired”, and timing will affect this.

    Being intentional about your inclusion – Kirsten Paladino

    You’ve no doubt been hearing a lot about DEI – Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and maybe you’re a little confused as to what to do in your business. I was so fortunate to have my friend Kirsten Paladino, Co-founder and editorial director of equallywed.com, join me and help us understand better how we can all be intentional in how we show our customers and prospects that we’re not only open to doing business with them, we’re competent and qualified to do so.

    Listen to this episode for some ideas on how your business can present itself in a more inclusive way.

    Kirsten Palladino (she/they) is the cofounder and editorial director of equallywed.com, an online wedding magazine for LGBTQ+ couples and marriers, which she launched with her wife in 2010. She travels globally teaching LGBTQ+ inclusive practices to wedding and event pros, which she also teaches in digital courses on equallywedpro.com. She is the author of Equally Wed: The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your LGBTQ+ Wedding, which is available wherever books are sold.

    Why do people give up so easily? Aug 30, 2023
    Show notes

    I’m preparing a new presentation for this year’s Wedding MBA on my experiences and findings from the secret shopping I do. Sometimes clients hire us to secret shop them and sometimes we do it when someone inquires but doesn’t hire us, just to see how badly they might need help (cue the smiley emoji). What amazes us is how many times companies don’t reply at all to our inquiry, even when it’s directly through their website. Sometimes it’s a technological issue (easy to fix when you know about it) but other times the lead comes through, and we still get no reply. Then we’re waiting to see how many times a company will reach back out to us, when they don’t get a reply. The sad answer is that we usually only get one attempt from most of the companies we shop. A few others will try 2 or 3 times, and a small minority will try way more than that. Who do you think will get the business.

    Listen to this 12-minute episode for perspective and I hope incentive for you to follow up more times than you’re doing now.
