Why am I not getting consistent clients?

In this episode, Ina addresses the common issue of inconsistent client bookings in the pet photography business. She identifies three major gaps that may be causing this inconsistency: unclear offers, weak marketing rhythms, and leaky lead funnels. The discussion emphasizes the importance of having clear value propositions, a consistent marketing strategy, and effective client management systems. Ina provides actionable steps for photographers to improve their business practices and encourages them to focus on one area at a time for sustainable growth.

Mini Homework Included: Choose ONE focus area—offers, marketing, or lead conversion—and take a small, intentional step forward.
