Taking pictures of people requires an ability to get along well
with people–get them to relax, and immediately feel comfortable
in your presence. You’ve got to be persuasive while exercising a
great deal of tact and diplomacy. Make friends easily and
quickly. Be aware of, and understanding of wants, desires and
ambitions.
Actually, selling and getting along with people, are almost
synonymous. Life is and on-going program of selling yourself to
achieve your own wants and ambitions. Read a few good books on
the art of selling, seperti: HOW TO SELL YOURSELF by Steve
Girard; and HOW TO SELL ANYTHING TO ANYBODY by Tom Hopkins.
Ingat, selling is really just a matter of recognizing
someone’s needs and then satisfying those needs with a product or
service.
Your customer will automatically accept it as fact, that you have
the professional knowledge and equipment to fulfill their needs.
All you have to do is reassure them, listen to their reasons for
these needs, and in closing the sale, become a good friend to
them.
