Boot Camp Testimonials
"John Hartman has done more for my business than anyone."
— Mike Bentley, Winder GA
Nearly 3000 photographers have attended past Marketing Boot Camps, with some students returning six, seven, even eight times. The reason is simple: the more exposure you have to these ideas, the easier they become to adapt and use in your own studio. Even a small change that results in, say, 5% more sittings in your biggest product line, or a $50 average sale increase over time, can mean tens or even hundreds of thousands of additional dollars in your pocket. This makes the Marketing Boot Camp one of the best investments you'll even make in your business. Here's what some past students have said about what the Boot Camp has meant to their studio's financial life:
"We've been in business 18 years and never attended a seminar with so much information given...very well organized...great ideas and people!"
— Cindy Robertson, Henderson, KY
"John's presentation is nicely laid out, both in the workbook and on the digital projection screen. Plus, there is lots of time provided for Q & A with John."
— David Hilgendorf, St. Louis, MO
"I have a small studio, and my time is very valuable. John's marketing ideas showed me how to educate my clients BEFORE they called, so that I didn't have to repeatedly give the same sales presentation on the phone to uninformed prospects (who often didn't book anyway). This alone saved immeasurable hours."
— Kevin Auyong, Pleasanton, CA
"I never missed a Boot Camp and you would not believe how much money he has made me. When I wanted to change my business he listened to me and gave excellent advice that helped me go from 40-50 weddings a year to zero. I am making more money now without doing weddings. Thank you, John!"
— Mark Allan, Wolcott, CT
"John constantly updates the material for the benefit of past Boot Campers. He has turnkey ideas for a successful marketing plan. The presentation is well-structured and informative. The opportunity to network with other successful photographers was great."
— Rod Leasure, Chandler, AZ
"Not only have I learned alot from John, but the caliber of people and photographers I have met over the years far surpasses the monetary value of the program. I have life long friends now that I never would have known, had it not been for those trips to Chicago and Las Vegas. That is the true value of the program! Thanks again John!!!"
— Keith Hardin, Buchanon, GA
"The direct mail ideas I got at the Marketing Boot Camp changed my life. I have retired from weddings now and enjoy my weekends very much. My sales were up $105,000 in just one year, and my net profit increased by over $60,000!"
— Frank Donnino, Boynton Beach, FL
"John Hartman made the biggest impact on my business. He helped me think about what it is I want from the business and to come up with a way to make it work."
— Christie Buie, Williamsburg, VA
"I couldn't 'afford' to go for the first few years? Should have borrowed the money to go. He has made me SOOO much money! I'll never miss another Boot Camp!"
— Keith Brookshire, Calhoun, GA
"Because the focus of the Boot Camp is on implementation, I've gone home with a clear and prioritized set of goals. This focus has helped me to accomplish more than any other seminar I've attended. And now, I always have my marketing planned in advance—a great help."
— Michael Spatola, Van Nuys, CA
"My sales have increased a cumulative total of $105,138 from your Boot Camps."
— Chris Clark, Wichita, KS
"After attending the Boot Camp, I knew that this was the one seminar that stood above the rest. John's approach is very straightforward, using proven techniques (not just theory) to get clients in the door and spend money."
— Frank Tantalo, Rochester, NY
"We now approach packaging, pricing and promotion in a whole new way. Our Boot Camp knowledge has increased our sales by approximately $260,000 over the past three years. John's ideas work!"
— Dennis Kelly, Turnersville, NJ
"If you're not moving forward, you won’t make it in this new economy. John gives you a step-by-step plan to be more profitable while you cut production time. I'll be attending my third Boot Camp; this stuff works!"
— Bob Vaugh, Holden, MA
"After three Boot Camps I'm still implementing new ideas and business practices that I wasn't able to or was ready for earlier. John's presentation was very enjoyable; he supplies tons and tons of information, too much to implement at one time! That's why the recordings are so beneficial."
— Tom Clouser, Paducah, KY
