Why take this course?

This course is for the portrait photographer who needs to build their clientele & get their name out into their community! I will show you, step by step including scripts, how to easily partner with local auctions in order to generate money for the schools and ALSO gain wonderful & loyal clients quickly & easily.

You will learn what auctions are all about, who host them & who attends them, as well as the different versions of the event that are typically seen.

I'll show you why some donations are gold mines while others garner no attention at all & I'll teach you HOW to structure YOUR donation to be a success!

Donating to an event is a lot more than simply giving a donation & hoping it brings in a client. Where most people fail to make these events profitable for them is in their failure to have a solid strategy for the donation. This course will teach you, via easy to follow videos & supplemental PDFs with scripts & an action plan, my exact strategy that has proven to be very successful over the last 15 years in keeping my calendar full of wonderful, high paying clients who value what I provide.

I had read lots about auctions, but I had no idea where to start and how to do it. Gretchen's course gives a good explanaition about what to do, and how to do it, and I love the scripts too.I had a few questions after the course, emailed Gretchen and she patiently replied. The course has helped me a lot, after calling a few auctions with her scripts next to me, half stuttering and sweating, I now feel so confident that I don't need the scripts anymore. I feel confident, made my own beautiful high end looking vouchers and have started to get my first clients coming in from the auctions. Thanks Gretchen for making me feel confident and getting me new clients!

Gretchen is very knowledgeable and has much experience with photography as a business. She is an incredibly generous and helpful mentor. Signing up for her courses is one of the best things I have done for my business. This course covers everything you need to know about auctions, including which auctions to donate to and what your terms should be. She even includes script that made it really easy for me to jump right in contacting schools. Thanks Gretchen!
