Hi! I'm Sarah!

I’m the Head of Sales @ OLAS and am SO excited to have you on our team! I love getting to know each photographer because my team and I brag about you all day long. You’ll hear from us most while we’re presenting your portfolio to couples. Once you’ve shot your first event, Whitney will be your main source of contact, but in the meantime my team’s job is to get you set up with a calendar and get you working!

If your calendar says you’re available, it is likely that I will present your portfolio to a potential client. It is important that you REALLY be available on that date. It’s heart-breaking (and costly!) to have to tell a couple the artist they thought they just booked must now turn them down. The best way maximize your earnings and minimize disappointment is to keep your calendar accurate and up to date.

FIRST CHECK OUT AN EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU GET PRESENTED AND BOOKED ON THE SLIDES BELOW ↓

Step 1

While our sales team is talking to engaged couples in your area, we’re checking your OLAS calendar to see if you are open on their prospective date.

Step 2

Unless you're "Busy/Not Available" on your OLAS Calendar, we will actively present your portfolio to the couple as an artist available for booking.

Step 3

We may contact you to ask about experience shooting at venues, experience with types of events, availability for client calls or meetings, etc.

Step 4

4. Once a couple chooses you to shoot their wedding, we will add a Calendar Event to your OLAS calendar.

Step 5

Next, you will receive a "Heads Up" email. This email tells you you've have been BOOKED! Hold the date (up to 7 days) while we get everything confirmed and contracts signed.

Step 6

Shortly after the "Heads Up" you will see a final AD (Assignment Details) confirming every aspect of your booking and your initial payment/deposit.

As you can see, keeping your OLAS Calendar open and current is critical to your success. But it’s just as important to have your calendar closed when you’re not available. So, let’s talk about how to set that up.

To get started, we’ll need the name of a Google account (with Gmail and Calendar) so we can invite you to your OLAS calendar. This calendar shows us when you want to work, and when you don’t. The Gmail account you provide will only be used for calendar sharing. You will still get all your emails from us at whatever email you provided to Whitney. This is different.

You can use an existing Gmail account with Calendar, or create a new one.

*NOTE*: you must provide the primary Gmail account name (@gmail.com, or @company.com if you’re a G-suite user), not the alias. This address will be kept private and not shared with anyone outside the company for any reason.

Wait, what about...?

I can’t wait to work with you! xo Sarah

YES! You must have a Google Calendar account and it must be linked to a Gmail account we can invite for you to get booked. They’re free. If you don’t have one, sign up here. We will not use that gmail address for anything else. Honest!

Not a problem. You can use the Google Calendar app for iPhone. And here are simple instructions for connecting your iCalendar to a Google calendar.

You can link your Google account where you'll manage your Google Calendar to a non-Google email, and use it for both. Here are some easy instructions. But we'll still need the primary Google Account email to connect your Calendar.
