Matt Davis - Life Stage Films
Sales and Marketing for the Wedding Filmmaker
"We believe there is a huge need to show creative professionals how to bring in more money by speaking to brides in THEIR language, not VIDEO language. We will use our very successful 2009 Demo Reel as a foundation to show others how to bring in more
money the right way."
Below are some of the learning topics
you will find in the seminar.
Matt Davis founded Life Stage Films just over three years ago. His studio is based in Wilmington, NC. In that time he has become a multi-year WEVA CEA winner, increased his company to eight staff people, and commands some of the highest rates for wedding video services in North Carolina, all during a recession. He has also launched a Video Business Coaching Program for event videographers to help get them on the fast track to owning their business, instead of just working in it. Although he gets much joy from having happy clients, nothing is more rewarding to him than giving back to the video industry and doing his part to make it a better place to make a living.
Below are some of the learning topics
you will find in the seminar.
- Learn to produce a wedding demo reel that SELLS! We will go over elements that should be left out as well as included in a demo that acts as a salesperson, not just a highlight reel.
- Learn proper techniques on selling your wedding videography services over the phone when a bride calls. Learn how to control the conversation, and get her emotional about her video, without talking price. Learn how to become "likeable", because if they don't "like" you, they won't buy from you.
- Learn to attract higher quality bridal leads by having a website that speaks to them.
Matt's presentation will last for the entire meeting and there will be a Q&A session at the end.
