Pro Photographers Join Together to Raise Money for Thirst Relief on 10.10.10

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 5, 2010 -- When times are tough for small business owners, it is often tougher for people in areas of the world where there is a lack of clean drinking water.

By joining together ten extremely successful photographers, International Small Business Marketing Firm, The Joy of Marketing, will be delivering hours of FREE education from 10 am until 10 pm CST on October 10, 2010 in a special online webinar event called 10 10 10.

Because of the significance of the date, 10.10.10, everything in the event will be filled with tens. Ten top photography industry leaders will share ten powerful secrets of how they are making more money during the sales process. There will be ten exciting giveaways from the sponsor (www.whcc.com) and more. Topics include how to talk to the client during the first phone call and the consultation, how to shoot to sell maximizing the sales presentation and how to build loyalty and increase referrals after the sale.

"Because we coach so many photographers to help them grow their businesses, we have identified that one of the main things necessary for any small business owner to succeed, is sales skills. I have found many photographers, being artists by nature, are afraid to sell. We want to change that." said founder Sarah Petty.

With her MBA and experience at Coca-Cola Enterprises, Petty opened her first photography studio 2 weeks before 911. Within 5 years, Sarah Petty Photography (www.sarahpetty.com), was named as one of the most profitable studios in the country by the Professional Photographers of America. She is passionate about teaching others how she did it. "It is such a thrill to watch a photographer become profitable and achieve her dream of making a living doing what she loves."

With an emphasis on sales and to stay with the theme of 10.10.10, the Joy team is encouraging listeners who like the content to make a simple $10 donation. All money raised will be donated to Thirst Relief, a charity created to provide clean drinking water to people in need around the world. (http://101010.thejoyofmarketing.com/thirstrelief).
