Hey there chaps. I thought it'd be a good idea to restart the blog, but make use of it as a support forum for the 3 of us. Or anyone else who wants to sign up.
I think we can all agree that we don't need to set each-other tasks. We all know how to take pictures.
But I always have questions about the professional practice, and there's no shortage of discussion groups online. I'm signed on to one on LinkedIn that I contribute to and check up on now and then.
But I'd like to keep one going that's a little closer to home. That's you guys by the way. Something we can use to throw light on problems or get opinions and advice going between us.
........so here's topic number one for discussion.
What do you think about cold calling?
I don't necessarily have a problem with cold calling people and organisations I've researched to get a contact; but I find it tricky knowing when or if to follow up after sending my details. Especially if they sounded interested.
Also, what about clients you already worked for (assuming they're happy with you).
I'll keep in touch with bi-monthly mail-outs linking to my photoblog..

..and try to make myself look as busy as possible. But is it ok to call up previous clients to see if there's anything coming up? Maybe it's obvious to some but I'd like to know what you think.
Barker.
