At the end of 2022, I received an inquiry from a local business looking to update their headshots. It was a large firm with multiple locations, and I quickly realized it would be a major project.

I was very much in head about sending a $20,000 proposal, but I knew the value I was offering went beyond just headshots (keep listening to hear more about my ecosystem approach).

I ended up booking the project, and it was one of the simplest projects I’ve ever done. It was not only a positive experience but also a confidence builder.

In this episode, I share how I booked the project and how you can land big projects too, even if you don’t live in a large city or typically work with big brands (be sure to sign up for the masterclass to learn more on this).
