Business Assistance for Photographers 08-08-2007

Every business occasionally needs help with marketing, business analysis, outsourcing help, management, etc. We get ours from a variety of sources. I want to highlight three in the next three blogs. First, Mark Riffey at Rescue Marketing:

We have worked with Mark Riffey of Rescue Marketing for three years and have been incredibly satisfied. Mark is one of the most honest people I know. When he recommends something or offers assistance, I can trust what he says. Oh, did I also say he's really smart? Check out Mark's website http://www.rescuemarketing.com. Mark offers assistance business analysis, marketing, management, web site site design and support, among many other services. He also has the advantage that he knows the portrait photography industry from a previous photography related business that he started and sold several years ago. Here's a few words from his site about how can help you recover from declining market and/or profits:

Business owner takes 2 week vacation in the middle of the busy season...and NO ONE CARES.

How can that happen? Wont he or she go broke? Wont their clients be furious?

Nope. The owner's business has been "Rescue'd".

Let's back up a little bit and think about your business for a moment.

Are you struggling to find every new customer?
Does your business regularly lose customers and you don't know why?
Don't understand why your advertising budget isn't bringing in business?
Your staff won't listen, complains about their pay and has to be babysat?
Everyday employee and customer problems cant be solved without the owner being in the office?

Don't feel bad. It's not that unusual, and it may not even be your fault. Each of these problems can be solved.

What we can do is start fixing it so that you can be the next one to get your business running on autopilot - and more do so while increasing productivity and profitability.

What is the "Rescue My Business" Process?
I examine your business from the front door to the back. Other than financials and legal, nothing is left out.

Every process, every slip of paper, every form, every customer contact and more, are all examined in detail, looking for ways to improve your existing processes, automate and "systematize" the processes that need it, how your business processes integrate with your website, your marketing funnel, follow up processes, lead generation, customer care, hiring/firing and the staff itself.

My mindset? I look at your business as if I was going to buy it and stake my retirement on it.

The Results? It's like an Extreme Makeover for your business - without the pain and suffering.
An area by area action plan, complete with a detailed work plan that includes recommendations for every process in your business, as well as for every staff member and their work duties. Process documentation that enables you to hire someone today and make them productive on their first day. A schedule to make the work plan happen and follow ups from me to keep you on track.

If you're truly ready to make a serious improvement in your business, getting started is easy. Contact me today."
