Have you ever wondered why some creatives seem to book effortlessly while others are left staring at an inbox full of ghosts?
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most frustrating parts of running a wedding business, getting ghosted. We’re diving into what’s really going on when a client doesn’t respond, what it might be saying about your brand, and how small shifts in your inquiry process can create big wins in your booking rate 💌
Because here’s the truth: it’s not always about your work. Sometimes it’s about the way you show up. How you connect. How you communicate your value and lead the conversation with confidence.
We’re talking inquiry systems, website strategy, pricing transparency, and the mindset shifts that separate luxury creatives from everyone else. Whether you’re stuck in a feast-or-famine cycle or just tired of chasing leads that go nowhere, this episode will help you reconnect with the parts of your business you can control and remind you that your next level doesn’t require more hustle… it requires more alignment.
Let’s fix the ghosting problem, for good.
