Scott focuses on connection and clarity more than “hard sell” tactics that are common in traditional approaches.
Traditional selling to strangers often leans on:
- High-pressure sales or urgency
- Generic pricing and packages
- Little education about the art or printing
Scott’s approach emphasizes:
- Speaking the client’s language (relating photos to their life, not photo jargon)
- Showing best work in print, with clear options like paper, canvas, and metal
- Fair, confident pricing (not dirt cheap, not inflated)
- Standing out through story, service, and inclusivity rather than pushy tactics
What part of selling to strangers are you most curious about—pricing, presentations, or where to find buyers?
