Soooo….the time has finally come to hire an office assistant. It’s either that or go insane with the 14 hour days. Yes, I have been sitting in front of the computer for 12-14 hours a day for the past several years. I have too much work piling up and not enough hours in the day to finish it all.
I normally shoot up to 25 weddings per year. I’ve found that 20-25 is just too many for a one-person business. In addition to hiring someone to help me out, I plan to accept a much smaller number of weddings next year. I pride myself on having a quick turnaround on wedding galleries, album designs, and print orders. Taking on more weddings than I can handle definitely slows me down!
With so many other demands to meet, I can’t possibly keep up with my blog. I still need to blog a few 2008 weddings, not to mention all of my April- September weddings-yikes! I’m so excited about having a helping hand and also about photographing only a limited number of weddings next year. This will allow me to provide the best customer service experience from start to finish..and that is my ultimate goal! I want you to know that I care about you and your experience and I want it to be the BEST that it can be. Think about it…when was the last time you had amazing customer service?! I challenge you to think of one recent example that stands out….bet ‘cha it will take a while! ;-)
