This is awesome, ive never seen a photographer do a BTS of their first meeting with a couple. Thanks for sharing man!

[@KhaleelHuieCK]

I. want. to. cry. We don't deserve this. Thanks Eric!

[@justinclark6762]

Eric you’re awesome. I can see how much of God’s goodness just permeates from you. You have a heart for people and it’s awesome to see your channel and work growing a ton. Keep it up bro!!!

[@Isaac.carraro]

Your style and love for people just blows me away. I'm glad there are creatives with your attitude and skill set in the industry. God Bless Eric

[@LivingOutLoudwithLJClements]

This was probably THE MOST HELPFUL client inquiry video I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much

[@andrewthompson4113]

So awesome you put this out for everyone to see! So much value in this!

[@lanycera]

That was the single most valuable video I've watched on communicating with clients! I think the email and follow-up conversations are SO important, and it was lovely to see your way of doing a meeting. Definitely keep it up! Another topic that would be really interesting especially for early business beginnings is google ads/fb ads and marketing in general - I've heard many people are getting leads with it, but it's a pretty intricate topic

[@mathildelagarrigue]

Wow thank you SO MUCH Eric, this is an outstanding piece of education for every photographer out there!

[@itsryannorton]

So glad you mentioned that we are service providers! I think it's easy to get wrapped up in "creating art" when in reality, we are providing a service to our clients. I think this mentality breeds success.

[@justamyberry6895]

This is the MOST VALUABLE VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN ABOUT SERVICE! Simply wow.

[@ANRALOGI]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wowowowowow. So much knowledge here. Thank you for sharing this for free. This is the thing that I've been thinking about recently. Talking to myself what I should do for the long term.

[@c.h.imaging]

This is incredible. I'm currently working on finishing up my first destination wedding film, but an area I've been struggling with a bit is communication with clients and booking more of them. Thank you so much man

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

this was so amazing Eric! I really love the insight into this chat with the couple :) thanks for sharing this with the world, I have learned a lot!

[@DayoClinckspoor]

For those wondering, that stunning microphone is the Oktava MKL-5000.

[@klayf_]

I just stopped by to like and comment this video. I saw your live yesterday it was really great I just want to say *congrats man* and your videos are really helpful ❤

[@matthieuionesco1501]

this was so dope couldnt stop watching learning a lot from this video!

[@Ataraxia_Atom]

Dude this is perfect. Thank u Eric

[@michaelcusick8345]

Awesome Eric. Thanks for sharing.

[@kylieknight8847]

Thank you so much for sharing this insightful client meeting Eric :) I really enjoyed it and although it was a mock one, I felt the love, care and energy in everyone's performance :)

[@Graystreeet]

I LOVE this so much!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you!!

[@shawkeen_admi]

Such a valuable video. Loved it.

[@tylerhuttosmith]

This is great information! I’ve been debating getting back into wedding photography/ videography and this might’ve pushed me back over the edge. If you ever need a film photographer in Denver haha

[@joshphix7179]

This was so informative & value brother!!! Am with there was a double subscription button

[@andynichols2979]

I'm absolutely loving the Zack Morris pauses

[@jjjdolfan]

Great video would love to see more role playing videos of client meetings. How do you handle couples that are not as talkative and more guarded for an example.

[@ReformationsGlassArt]

enjoyed this - thank you

[@geneyoon11]

Absolute gold.

[@LeighBuh]

This is so valuable! Especially for me who isn’t the best with communicating on the fly. Thank you so much!

[@EricFloberg]

❤️❤️❤️

[@patrickdizonfilms]

Thanks for sharing this

[@m1ch4Lko]

Awesome !!!

[@patresinger]

So proud of you Eric - what an amazing course. And what a great hat you are rockin :-D

[@EricFloberg]

Thank you so much, Patrick!! Means a ton coming from you. Freaking love this hat. Gonna need to add a new initial to the bottom with the new baby. ;)

[@patresinger]

@@EricFloberg Ahhhh true! I am sure you have someone with a burning iron that can do that. I loved the client interview so much and also the aspirational messaging in the beginning, it always feels so good to do be reassured to do it for the right reasons! Especially after an intense wedding season

[@HighValue_Humans]

this guy is awesome

[@uncleanAlibertine1]

great mate thnx

[@tylerthecreative]

Fire.

[@itsjonathanwade]

Hey, you're welcome.

[@missgirl8210]

Do you usually meet your clients at ur studio space or is it more appropriate to invite them to a coffee shop?

[@zahrahaider3071]

Hey Eric, hope you're well. This is a simple question that for some reason I can't figure out. I do portraits, engagements, family shoots, etc and use Honeybook for onboarding. At what point in the process do I get my client's instagram handles and how do I get them to follow my photo account back? My clients are always really happy with my work and the galleries come out amazing, but it's been tough getting anyone to connect with us on social media. Any suggestions for how to add this into my process?

[@britthall5965]

I love Eric’s content❤️‍🔥 I found your comment and wanted to share - ask for social media handles in your inquiry contact form (don’t make it a requirement though), from there please add into your photo agreement/contract that people will need to follow you in order to tag you in your work when they post. It is completely appropriate to ask for customers to tag you whenever posting your work online(not everyone will follow this but most would love to). I find that if you say at the end of a session or in a consultation for a wedding, “I would really appreciate you tagging my business when you post any of the work online, it helps me to grow organically and means the absolute world to me.” people will feel compelled and sentimental about tagging you and supporting your business. I hope this helps! My name is Brittany and my IG is @chasingsunsetsllc if you love to connect on there. Xoxox good luck with business!

[@agent_w.]

nice

the first 4 minutes are cool...

[@benfohdo]

Where can I get that hat >?

[@aceva8305]

So would these courses not be available after November 1st? I would love to get them in the future!

[@EricFloberg]

Thanks for watching! That's correct. Enrollment is only open through November 1st by 11:59pmEST - There's no other set date or plan to open enrollment again.

[@aaronglynnwalker]

Dope scarcity

[@briscproductions]

thank u tho

[@nitablackwood6301]

What hat are you wearing ? It’s beautiful.

[@spideytobey4400]

What microphone is that?

[@rafiqmalik2818]

Hi Eric could u please let me know about the microphone you are using and the microphone stand? 🤗🤗

[@itsaaronmiller]

Shure SM7b at the beginning and then the scene with the hat looks like a Blue Microphone. Maybe the Mouse? But that would be shocking because it's a really expensive mic for music production.

[@EricFloberg]

Yup, SM7B and a crappy mic stand, and the Cascade Elroy in the other scene.

[@itsaaronmiller]

@@EricFloberg never heard of that mic, but it sounded great!

[@benoneilldp]

To the 11 people who disliked: Im so so sorry you cant get bookings, maybe try therapy?? Thank you Eric for this amazing video!!!

Congrats to me for my first success with rich Turkish client .

[@martinvisual]

Ahhh its cringy watching the 6'3 guy explain the story. I hope they stay together though, man this is great insight man thank you overall I stayed for you.

[@OverTheSevenSeas]

The nose touch - don't touch the nose and hair during a first meeting! And don't fidget too much. Make a bit of eye contact.

You don't budge on your price because of your wife. Smh...

[@EricFloberg]

I don’t budge on my price so I don’t overbook myself and spend every weekend away from my wife and kids. I love my family and desire to be around them more.

[@heyitsam9414]

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing totally worth the watch. Also to the 10 people who disliked , who hurt you? 🥲🥲🥲
