Documents, rights, invoices and revisions create friction.

I feel uncertain in professional communication in a new market.

After the programme

I have a clear client segment and a working offer.

I can explain the value of photography in the client's language.

I have a project structure from enquiry to follow-up.

I know which documents matter and what must be documented.

I have a 90-day plan for entering my chosen segment.
