What You'd Like To Do Less Of
Let's face it, none of us became Professional Photographers because we wanted to spend more time doing the accounts, sending follow-up emails or juggling calendars. But that is exactly how many professional photographers spend 90% of their working lives. I am guessing that you, like most pro photographers, would like to spend less time doing repetitive mundane non-billable tasks such as;
What You'd Like To Do More Of
Chances are you became a Photographer because you love taking photos and you wanted a career that provided creativity and flexibility...and yet you find yourself spending much of your day doing the accounts, sending follow-up emails and juggling calendars...
I get it.
I'm a Photographer too.
As well as running BotSquad, I am a full-time Professional Photographer over at Fallon Photography and have been for 19 years now.
Now, I don't claim to be the greatest Professional Photographer the world has ever seen but I know the industry well and what I know even better than Photography is digital systems (AKA Apps).
I can help ANYONE become more organised, efficient and profitable by implementing and learning how to use the right systems for their Photography Business.

FAQs
I have extensive experience with over 15 powerful market-leading CRMs. (Now, 15 may not sound like a big number but trust me, it's big enough! It takes years to have even a rudimentary understanding of such powerful apps).
I started my Photography CRM journey with Tave and it was one of the best things I ever did for my photography business at that time. After several years with Tave, I switched to Sprout Studio, another awesome Photography CRM.
I also have a lot of experience with generic (ie not photography-specific) CRMs like Pipedrive, Salesmate, Monday.com, Flowlu, Hubspot, Vtiger, Agile CRM, Engagebay etc etc. There are many CRMs I have not used or only used briefly but I learn and adapt to new systems very quickly.
A good photography CRM will save you time and minimise the chances of human error - and they can help you earn more money too.
Many offer features like instant scheduling and booking so you don't even have to go through the laborious back-and-forth of who is available when.
The electronic contract/signature features many offer are also a vital feature (and electronic contract/signature software is not cheap so this alone is a good reason to use a Photography CRM).
But perhaps most importantly, most good photography CRMs can automate a lot of the repetitive mundane tasks that we all do as working photographers every day, again and again and again...you get the idea.
I don't claim to be the greatest or most successful photographer in the world and I couldn't possibly be an expert on every single CRM or even Photography CRM on the market today. But what I AM is systems-minded and I am also a fast learner who actually ENJOYS learning new systems.
Even when I was purely a photographer, I was always on the search for a better system, a better way of doing something. This constant searching and experimentation led to me acquiring a great deal of knowledge not only of how various individual CRMs work but also how good systems and workflow processes work and how your processes affect your choice of CRM but also your choice of CRM affects your processes.
We all have our opinions on things, including our own businesses and what works best for them. But, if you want to get results, it's important you rely more on measurable and quantifiable theories than just opinion.
The first step in improving your businesses digital systems and workflows is to measure them as they stand now. Ie you need to create a benchmark. Without this, it's all just guesswork and determining whether or not any changes have made things better or worse is purely...you guessed it...opinion.
