Cris j Duncan will be visiting us on June 9th, presenting his truly inspiring and motivational program… read below. You will not want to miss this!

Come meet with Cris, listen to what he does to elevate his business, incorporate some of his ideas in your own business model, and don’t look back! As usual, we meet at 6:30pm, with the News/Announcements beginning at 6:50pm, and the program following at 7:00pm. Although we still meet at the College Station Conference Center at 1300 George Bush Drive, we will be in a larger room from now on, so please look for the signs in the lobby to direct you.

The Photographer You Want To Be

No matter what you shoot, no matter your style, no matter your market level, in this motivating program you will learn great techniques to take back to your studio and push your business to the next level! By focusing in on a new philosophy and some simple principles, your approach to work as well as life will never be the same.

Discussion in this new and exciting program is based upon a simple but important principle–”Perception is greater than reality”. While technique is not a primary focus of this program, it will be covered to demonstrate how we as professionals present ourselves to our clients. So much of how our business will succeed or fail is based upon our relationship with our clients, our vendors and most importantly ourselves. Remember what your mother told you: “You can do it!” This has never been more relevant than it is today, in a time where economic storm clouds are building and a whirlwind of amateurs flood upon our market. Invest in yourself, invest in your business, invest in your life. In any business or organization, there is a plateau, a point in which one will persevere and increase or do nothing and fall: Do not let your business be the one to fall. When times look toughest and things are dark, true leaders and champions will rise. This is the time to be a leader, a champion, a surviver. Build your confidence, your knowledge, your sales and your business and become the photographer you want to be.
