    "You're not crazy. Reaching out to planners isn't working anymore..." Episode 109

    You're not going crazy — here's why reaching out to planners isn't working The 3 things you need to do to get wedding planners referring you If you've been told that reaching out to wedding planners is a great referral strategy — it is.

In this episode I'm breaking down exactly what I did to get referred by celebrity wedding planners and land $10k stationery clients at luxury events — and the three-part framework that actually gets planners excited to send you business. IN THIS EPISODE 1. What happens when you send out cold emails to planners 2. How to lead with value, not just an intro email 3.

I'll cover what an upsell actually is, why it doesn't have to feel pushy or gross, whether it works for service businesses (spoiler: absolutely yes), and I'll walk you through exactly how I use upsells in my own stationery business — from onboarding all the way through to post-project follow-up.
