Created by anonymous on 01/20/2012
To sign a contract with True Photography and become exclusive
1. Steady income
2. Guaranteed amount of money
3. I don't have to do post production
4. My elopements wouldn't count as "weddings" per our last conversation
5. No post client meetings
6. I can focus on other photography projects - like my book
7. I'll get to 1st shoot more
8. I still get to shoot what I want outside of weddings
9. I don't have to do a lot of pre-wedding meetings
10. I would still get to second shoot
11. I think we have a good chance of making it work
12. I will be represented by a company that is well respected in the community
13. Vendors are excited to work with True Photography
14. I get to meet and work with new vendors all the time
15. I don't have to do any of the marketing to book jobs - that's handled by someone else
1. Capped wedding income if I'm completely exclusive
2. I don't get to work with my own favorite vendors
3. I don't have control of how the images are presented
4. I don't have a choice as to who I book (rapport or not - I'm shooting!)
5. I don't feel completely protected by True's contract - in case of a crazy bride
6. Not much rapport built to strengthen my relationship with client
7. I can't shoot my own weddings
8. I won't get to work with Mike, Aizhan & Bob as much
9. I don't have a lot of great choices as far as second shooters go
10. I don't get to choose who I work with as far as vendors go (HATE Jason Taylor!)
11. Admin seems rather time consuming - why log every email when I can just save all email correspondence
12. I won't always get to meet my brides & grooms before photographing them
13. I don't get a detailed enough pay stub - errors happen
14. The offer does not meet my financial needs
15. I don't like discounts given at my expense
