No BS Approach to Business Development with Vanessa Joy

Business development is likely the most stressful element of a photographer's career. Having to market and sell while navigating the relentless fear of rejection is what separates those who are able to successful grow their careers from those who continue to struggle. Well, let's fix that, shall we? My guest today on the Beyond the Image podcast is Vanessa Joy. She has worked with thousands of photographers not only in mastering their craft, but to actually build a sustainable business. Vanessa is a Canon Explorer of Light and has generated a multi-million dollar photography business working with brands such as BravoTV, Hilton Grand Vacations, Profoto and more. In this episode of the podcast, Vanessa and I dive deep into the reality of marketing and business development for creative professionals, what works, what doesn't work and what ultimately is the one thing that can generate new business.
