In-Person Sales Essentials
If you have ever wanted to make the transition to in-person sales or if you want to make your sales experience faster, smoother, and more efficient then this is the article for you.
Must Haves
- Fast Computer - buy the most ram and processing power that you possibly can
- Editing Software - I use Capture One & Evoto. I cull all of the images in Capture One, apply presets, then retouch in Evoto, after the client selects their favorite images.
- Presets - This is how you get your speed when editing. I have a preset for every lighting situation. I sync edit all of the similar images and then make tiny adjustments as necessary.
- Fundy - I love Fundy's ability to work offline. It quickly compresses images and throws them into a slideshow in less than a minute all without being connected to the internet and I also use them for Album Designs.
Other Accessories
- Tethered Cable - If you have the ability to shoot tethered, that will make you edit even faster! You can have the images automatically load into Capture One and apply the preset of your choice. This would leave only the need to cull and retouch during the client's break.
- Viewing TV - I have the Toshiba TF - 43 inch 4k UHD TV. I purchased it for $220 on Black Friday. The most important thing is to make sure your TV and laptop match color range and color profiles. (4k Laptop/4k TV)
- iPad - I am probably the biggest fan of Procreate and Canva. I do the majority of my social media content and design of marketing materials on the iPad.
