Seniorologie Podcast Episode 38 – 3 Tips For Picking Models For Your Team

January 20, 2021

Part of having a senior spokesmodel team is picking the members of that team.  When I first started, I asked for names from a friend and reached out to those people myself, asking them to do this new thing called a spokesmodel team.  After that, I started having people want to be a part of the team so I needed a way to pick which ones best fit my brand and my goal for the team.
The process I created not only allows me to get to know each person applying but it allows me to choose who I feel will best represent my business, participate in the program and get along well with the other members of the team.
In today’s episode of The Seniorologie Podcast, I am sharing 3 tips to helping you pick the right models for your senior spokesmodel team and my process of how I choose models for my team!!
The Seniorologie Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Leslie Kerrigan, creator of Seniorologie, for high school senior photographers.  Whether you are just starting out or you have been photographing seniors for a while, The Seniorologie Podcast is your resource for all things senior photography related.
Highlights from Episode 38:

* The Application  – this is where it all starts!  Having those interested apply to be a part of the team through an application is the fist step in getting to know them and why they are applying!  And if you want my exact application, be sure to click HERE to download it for free!!
* Research – We have to be proactive and do a little research to find out information to help us determine if an applicant is the right choice for our teams.  Checking out social media and asking some of your current models is a great way to find out more information on each applicant.
* Interview each applicant! – The application and the research are just a piece of the puzzle.  The final piece is to meet applicants in person so you can make sure what you read on the application fits the actual person!  This is where you really get to know the true personality and see if it fits in well with your brand.
