How I discovered, contacted, and pitched a local restaurant and went from a free offer to a sales package

Restaurant Case Study pt1

  Tell yourself you're going to make it and this is just going to be a story you tell people some day.  Organize &amp; Restrict all costs both business and personal  Reorganize your packages -Give deals, discounts, or figure out how to increase value  Think of additional services you can provide.  Know your niche! Re-evaluate your niche, is this a niche that needs video in a recession? Figure it out, this will help you focus &amp; grow faster.  Remove all activities or time spent on projects not directly related to money making  Do not runaway into escapism: Vices, video games, drinking, smoking, that is deadly  Put time into studying art of money making, marketing, etc. NOT Videography skills  Do not accept any speculative work.  Call every client you have had for the last two years, ask how they are doing, call them weekly.  Remember how powerful you are.(if your making a living in media production you’ve already done the impossible)  Cross Train to be able to diversify  Join together with others  Stay Calm and positive and strong

In today's episode, we learn three ways to say the same thing: Magic words to learn a client's budget and help you prepare yours properly to make more money and not lose out.  After using the magic words, just nod and say okay I’ll keep that in mind to whatever they answer The reason why this is a win-win-win is you either get more money or you say no or you negotiate to get your price.. or say no. But if you think about it if you don’t ask that question you will almost ALWAYS leave money on the table and you also reduce the chances of bidding way too high and just outright no.. bc if you say outright no you don’t have a lot of room to renegotiate.  Always negotiate up, never down.
