<p dir="ltr">When it comes to the software we use to manage our business, some make our lives easier and some don’t. And whether you are a solopreneur or manage a team, new to the business or a veteran, software can make or break the systems you use to be successful.</p> <p dir="ltr">So what software can not only streamline the business but can also help us sell? We’ve got two portrait photographers on the podcast today to talk about just that and we are discussing ProSelect, the industry standard for selling portraits; and we’ll also look at CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software and how to decide which is best for your business. </p> <p dir="ltr">Maureen Sullivan is a software consultant and portrait photographer in the photography business for 20+ years. As a software consultant, she has helped other photographers find the right programs for their business and that’s how she met Michele Cardamone, a solopreneur portrait photographer who knew she needed something different.</p> <p dir="ltr">In our conversation about software today, Maureen shares what is current, what people are using, what is working well, and how that will help you manage your business. And if you are like Michele, a solopreneur wearing all the hats in your business, you can learn how to streamline and work smarter, not harder.
