Next week, Photo Society is taking a trip to Kansas City to see the ASMP seminar, I Stink at Negotiating with Blake Discher!

Do you panic when you have to discuss money with a client? Do you talk too fast, ramble or sound indignant? Do you give in too fast to a lower price or broad licensing terms? Join Blake Discher for his highly acclaimed “Strictly Business 2″ lecture on how to win jobs. Blake Discher will teach you the steps to become a top negotiator. This critical skill can change your business in the most profound way — more and better work! Blake will walk you through real world scenarios, show you how to listen and talk to prospects turning them into loyal clients.

We will meet at the Hastings parking lot, please be there at 3:45, BEFORE 4:00 BECAUSE THAT IS WHEN WE ARE LEAVING!!! We will then drive to Kansas City and eat dinner, then go to the seminar, which starts at 7:00.
