Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Answering the phone in a loud venue where the caller can't hear you over the music or setup noise.
!Failing to ask for the event date and guest count immediately, which determines if you can even take the job.
!Not having a professional voicemail greeting that explains you are likely on-site with a client.
!Waiting more than 24 hours to respond to a wedding inquiry, as most couples contact 3-5 planners at once.
!Sending generic pricing PDF files without a personalized message or a brief discovery call first.
