Stop Losing Clients on the Call: 5 Steps to Confidently Book More Sessions

If you’ve ever finished a consultation call with a potential client only to hear “I’ll think about it” instead of “When can we book?” , then this episode is for you.

In this solo episode of The Pet Photographers’ Journal, I’m breaking down the 5-step consultation call framework that helps you stop losing clients on the call and start booking more sessions with confidence.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build instant trust and connection without sounding salesy
  • Ask the right questions that uncover the real reasons clients want photos
  • Guide the conversation so clients convince themselves to book
  • Handle objections like price or “I need to think about it” with ease
  • Turn calls into confident yeses instead of endless follow-ups

This isn’t pushy sales tactics, it’s about service, connection, and helping clients make the best decision for them and their pets.
