ProSelect

Makes in-person sales a breeze.

Vorteile:

TimeExposure's ProSelect is the de facto industry standard for photographers who want to do in-person sales sessions. Any portrait photographer who has done it will tell you that in-person sales increase revenue by... well, by a lot. For me, it led to about triple the revenue compared to online galleries. That's significant... and ProSelect helped me present images in a clean and professional manner. Here are some of the things I love about it: * Showing images on a big screen? If you take the time to measure ahead of time, you can preview images at exactly the size the print will be. (Check out this 11x14... but imagine putting this picture on the wall at 20x30!) * Multiple image layouts -- This makes it possible to sell print COLLECTIONS and preview how they'll look in a frame. * Quick and easy ordering, including packages, sales tax, notes to identify custom client requests, etc. There are also plenty of other more robust features of ProSelect that are available, but that I never really used... exporting orders to Photoshop, etc. All in all, totally worth it.

Nachteile:

* It can take a bit of time to set up the software at the beginning -- importing or setting up price lists, sales taxation rates, etc. * It can be a little clunky... I wish the sorting features were a bit more intuitive. But really, I'm quibbling here.

Proselect is a gamechanger for studios

Kommentare: I'm able to sell more, and sell larger images with Proselect since I can show clients their pictures on their walls.

Vorteile:

I discovered Proselect several years ago and began doing in person sales with it immediately after. My sales average quadrupled when I learned how to do an effective sales session using it. I have the pro version, which also manages the production of finished images and provides an attractive record of the order for clients. Yes, it will take time to get it set up, but once that's done, you'll be blown away by the ease of growing your sales and ultimately allowing your clients to make the best decisions. My advise, if you are considering this software, is to take advantage of the huge library of recorded webinars that cover all the aspects of setting up and using Proselect.

Nachteile:

Plan on spending considerable time importing your products and pricing, and take time to learn the keyboard commands needed to run your sales session smoothly.

Not user friendly

Kommentare: I wanted to use proselect to streamline my IPS process. Unfortunately the learning curve was too time consuming and the customer service really turned me off.

Vorteile:

I loved all the things that Proselect can do. Lived yo ability to use the virtual room designer and that I can order directly.

Nachteile:

I found the software very difficult to navigate and use. I contacted customer service for help but had to find time for someone to call me and go over everything with me. I found this time consuming. I also thought the customer service was quite unaccommodating and was more interested in money than customer satisfaction.

Game Changer

Kommentare: Proselect absolutely changed the way I sell to my clients. I am able to create and show wall displays, albums, cards etc right in front of them. My sales have increased & my workflow is faster.

Vorteile:

Powerful! Streamlined workflow Increased sales

Nachteile:

Setup is difficult & not intuitive

Clients loved it, and so did I.

Vorteile:

ProSelect was easy to use, for a price that even a small studio can afford. I am not high volume, but using this software allows me to be professional and keep track of everything that's needed for a session. Having thumbnail images on customer invoice printouts has prevented multiple ordering mishaps.

Nachteile:

Takes a little time to really learn to use all the features.

Great sales software

Kommentare: Helps increase sales values

Vorteile:

The whole ability to go through a sale - slideshow, image selection, project actual size, make mockups of multi-frames, wall views

Nachteile:

Fairly high cost and a complicated update model.

There are better, cheaper alternatives with way BETTER customer service

Kommentare: Pretty crummy. Their virtual rooms are ugly. It's really complicated to learn, customer service is lacking and there are other options out there that are easier to use and WAY less expensive. I can't believe I wasted $800 on this program and won't even be using it. Of course I am outside the refund time and can't be refunded. Just beware. If you have the time to learn this, don't expect any help from customer service and plan on integrating it with the lab you use, then this may be an ok option for you.

Vorteile:

It let's my clients see their images in a presentation style, however, I ended up not finding any benefits to this as opposed to just showing my clients their image in lightroom.

Nachteile:

It's really complicated and if you don't have the time to dedicate to learning it, it's a huge waste of money. Customer service sucks and all they care about it the money they get from you.

Overpriced with poor customer service

Kommentare: I would not use this product again or recommend it to anyone. The [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and employees are arrogant

Vorteile:

I will refrain from commenting on what I likes

Nachteile:

The software is very expensive and difficult to use. When looking for customer support forget it. Not good at all.

Pays for itself almost immediately!

Kommentare: Proselect is the industray standard when it comes to in-person photography sales systems. They make it incredibly easy for me to help my clients select the photos and products they want to purchase and they even have a module that let's the client see what their artwork will look like on their own walls. On top of that, the professional version of the software streamlines the process of file preparation and album design. If you are doing in-person sales, and you should be, Proselect is a must-have tool!

Solid all-in-one program for photographers working with in-person sales

Vorteile:

Really caters to photographers still working in person with customers. The free trial is also great to give a sample if you're on the fence. Best feature by far is the ability to demo photos on clients walls.

Nachteile:

The software looks a little dated compared to the looks of most other softwares today.

In Person sales essential in the studio

Vorteile:

PS is a useful tool if like me you are doing in person sales, and want to maximise on your sales. I used to just use a slideshow in Lightroom, but this looks more professional.

Nachteile:

Not all that intuitive, so take your time, watch/ read support material. Program looks a little dated.

Great Selling Tool

Kommentare: Using Proselect has allowed me increase m print sales to clients almost 200% since starting to use it. Being able to show the client what the images would look like on their walls is one of the most amazing tools that will guarantee the clients buying that big canvas,

Great for In person photography sales.

Kommentare: Upped my sales #s

Vorteile:

Allows a clean way to present my photographs in person to my clients. I use this with a projector to show images on large scale.

Nachteile:

I wish it was just a bit more user friendly. It isn't intuitive and can be difficult for me to train new sales people on.
