We've said it a million times, but without a sale, you don't have a business. And the number of clients you are meeting with doesn't matter nearly as much as the number of pieces of business that is actually closed. In this week's episode of the This Week In Weddings podcast, we're chatting with wedding planner Tracie Domino about techniques to increase the close rates.
