Focus on Sales: Sandler Sales Training Level One

Tuesdays, this fall! Sandler Sales Training is back ! Why should you take this course?

Do you want to learn how to uncover a prospect's budget? Did you ever hear, "I'm interested, but call me back after the holidays"? Then you never heard back from the prospect? Or, "This is great, I just need to run it by my boss / editor / wife/ business partner"? Do you feel like you're always at a disadvantage when negotiating?

Sandler Sales Training with ASMPNY gives real world solutions for all of these sales issues and more. Let's face it - photographers need a roadmap to navigate the tricky highways and byways of the current market. Sandler gives photographers a complete system on how to handle the sales process and uncover a prospect's real motives for buying. The 6-session Level One course will start September 27th and meet every other Tuesday.

On average, photographers who have taken this class have closed $11,000 of business using the Sandler Method ! Yes, that is ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ! (and who couldn't use $11,000 extra dollars ?) We guarantee you will get so much value out of the course that if after the first class you don't want to continue, you can get your money back- no questions asked. In essence, the first class is free to try out.

Led by Bob Heiss of Sandler Training, a world leader in innovative sales training, the course will combine classroom learning, role-playing and negotiation, and individual troubleshooting using YOUR real world examples. "The course was one of the smartest %&$#@ things I've seen a trade organization cover in recent times. It really breaks from the norm of presentations. Most appreciated is that this course was not taught by someone in the photo industry. The outside perspective was excellent and very applicable." - Shannon Fagan, Photographer

"I have attended seminars like this for over 3 decades and none compare to the excellence of this course. Bob Heiss offers a path to expand our business contacts and remain true to our creative work. It is a clear, structured, exciting and meaningful approach to sales. It gives a tangible method to integrate one's personal experience, fundamental interaction with people, and conduct our business in a positive flow. There is so much more ground to cover and I am eager for Level 2. I recommend the Sandler Training for every artist and photographer who is serious about their profession." - Joe Goldman, Member ASMP, Member International Cinematographers Guild

"I found this class to be one of the most helpful, hands-on, real-world workshops I've ever done. If you're like most photographers, it might have taken you a while to realize you were actually running a business. This class fills in the blanks in a big way. It is the best investment in my career I've made since I bought my first professional camera. Sign me up for the next level!" - Sari Goodfriend, Photographer

ASMP New York has relaunched SHARPEN, the online magazine of ASMP New York.

Today begins a new feature, a weekly “spotlight” of our fellow ASMP NY members.  I'll introduce inspiring men and women that are world renowned, at the beginning of their careers, and somewhere in between.  Here we'll celebrate each others accomplishments and how their work moves the world forward. My name is Teresa Kruszewski, a current board member and the fortunate person to spend time with each member and get to know their story.  I hope you enjoy our new feature.

Huge thank you to Elizabeth Avedon, Holly Stuart Hughes, Jody Quon, Marc Sobier and Hosanna Marshall for taking time to delve deep in all the wonderful imagery everyone submitted. Tough decisions but lots of fun! Enjoy the pics by Alex Geana.

I admit, it has taken me a long time to get used to the notion that a photo taken with a cell phone is totally acceptable. I was a student of old school photography and I wanted to remain that way for a long time. However, there is a time when one should swallow their pride and admit that technology changes. That was me about 4 years ago. I've had a Hasselblad, a Canon AE-1, a Holga, a Polaroid land camera and still have a Nikon SLR D40x.

(A wonderful perspective and advice for our community.)

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

It’s Just Business

Several recent threads on ASMP’s on-line forums have dealt with photographers’ frustration with client negotiations. Clients were proposing budgets below and terms beyond what the photographers considered fair. Photographers lamented that clients continually refused to see the value in what they provide.

We would like to ask you help us support a former ASMPNY President in this election. As many of you know, Thomas Werner was central to the rebuilding the of New York Chapter, helping to create the strong and vital chapter that you know today.

As a reviewer for the 3rd year in a row I remembered how fast-paced the reviews can be. How stressful it is for the person getting reviewed. It reminds me of what speed-dating must be like. You have to be prepared for your "elevator speech" -describing in less than a minute what your work is about and for the lasting 9 minutes you are engaged with your chosen reviewer.
