TSS Summer Conference 2023: Key Takeaways from Ft. Lauderdale
Every year, TSS Photography gathers for our much-anticipated annual summer conference, where the magic of photography meets the power of community. This year, the picturesque beaches and vibrant streets of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, served as our backdrop. A locale that perfectly complemented the innovative energy we always strive to foster.
Our summer conference is exclusively for TSS owners and their teams. It’s a deep dive into knowledge-sharing, skill refinement, and franchise empowerment. At its heart, the event concentrates on training and sharing the latest updates about our most popular software, and, equally crucial, best practices to ensure success in various photography markets.
Among the presentations that captured the most attention were:
Best Practices for Hiring & Paying Photographers and Staff: A strategic guide to building and compensating a top-tier photography team.
Changes in Sports Photography Marketing: Shedding light on the dynamic shifts in the market and how to adapt and thrive.
The Latest Tools in Making Action Sports Photography Profitable: Exploring cutting-edge tools and methods to maximize profits in action sports photography.
Preschools, Elementary + School Events: How to break in to the school market and find a mountain of untapped potential.
Our guest speakers brought a wealth of knowledge to our gathering. Tom Muñoz, the renowned owner of LVL Up Imaging, offered insights into capturing the perfect headshot, ensuring that our teams maintain the highest standards in portraiture. Meanwhile, author Paul Cherry delved into the art of sales presentations, emphasizing the sentiment of his book, “Nothing happens until something is booked.”
To further enrich the experience, our attendees had the opportunity for breakout sessions with our dedicated support staff. These sessions were tailored to answer questions and offer solutions, ensuring that every franchisee left the conference equipped with the tools to tackle challenges head-on.
Of course, no TSS gathering is complete without recognizing the stellar achievements of our community. The highlight of our recognition segment was inducting the latest members into the President’s Club. An accolade reserved for our top-performing franchisees, membership in this elite club isn’t just an honor; it comes bundled with exclusive perks and an all-inclusive vacation!
