Edmond Rätzel

I was very satisfied with the coaching I received from you. It opened my eyes to many things. I am now much more confident when negotiating with my customers. Thank you very much for the great time with you.

Edmond Rätzel surprised me positively right from the start. At first I was skeptical as to whether the coaching was really worth it. But I quickly realized that you often invest more in equipment than in yourself in order to really learn how to run a successful business. Edmond is extremely reliable and always available. He shares valuable tips and you immediately realize that he has a lot of experience. His coaching is very informative and practical. I highly recommend it to every photographer and videographer.

I've already had my first successes!!!

In my opinion, if you are serious about becoming self-employed, learning sales techniques is an absolute must. After getting nowhere with my own self-employment, I decided to take coaching from Edmond and his team despite my initial skepticism. The many positive reviews convinced me and I am incredibly happy to have taken this step.

Even in the first week of coaching, I had more "aha" moments than in the last four years since I started my own business. The methods used here are absolutely logical and target-oriented for me: I finally have more predictability, clear structures and measurability of results. I definitely lacked these aspects before, and it is only through coaching that my company feels like a real business in which nothing is left to chance.

What makes the coaching particularly valuable is the practical knowledge. You get concrete processes and scripts that you can put into practice immediately. This is not theoretical knowledge, but practical tools that are directly applicable. For anyone who has difficulties with customer acquisition and planning, this coaching is an absolute must.

As a self-employed person, you often feel lost and insecure, but through the coaching and the direct feedback I receive from Edmond and Anja within a few minutes, I can quickly recognize my mistakes and work on them specifically.

In conclusion, I can only warmly recommend coaching with Edmond Rätzel. For me, it was an absolute game changer that took my business to the next level. Anyone who is serious about their self-employment should definitely consider this coaching.

A big thank you to Edmond and Anja for your support and expertise - you have truly transformed my business and I am eternally grateful!

I have been working with Edmond for a good six months now and, after initial reservations, I now have complete confidence in his skills and abilities. My order intake has steadily increased over the course of the collaboration, which is clearly due to the principle taught by Edmond and Anja. The approach he has chosen to convey his knowledge through videos is very effective and has given me the opportunity to acquire the learning content according to my personal schedule. When problems arise, Edmond is always available, the response time is perfect, which means that he was able to answer every request immediately and solve every problem that arose. I consider the regular weekly Viedo calls he and Anja hold to be very helpful, even essential. It also enabled me to build up a network. Is his service worth what he charges for it? Although Edmond is really not cheap, I would say YES! Edmond's service is worth the price, I would definitely trust him again.

Moin,

After I registered my small business as a photographer, I already knew that I wanted to make a living from photography alone. I came across Edmond through his fee calculator and then agreed to work with him for 3 months. With stomach pains, I have to admit. I wasn't sure whether this was the right decision and whether my money was well invested in this consultancy. Today I can say that I have never invested my money better.
The mindset, the methods for customer acquisition and care, the marketing and sales know-how that is imparted is priceless. The weekly live calls give you the opportunity not only to discuss your own problems, but also to learn from the problems of your other customers and to network.
Thanks to Edmond and his fantastic team, I am a big step closer to my dream and continue to work with him to make it a reality.

Thank you so much for your great work!
I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Wow, just wow.
I am so thrilled. I've learned so much and I'm excited about what's to come.

First of all sorry but not sorry this is getting long! I have already attended many coaching sessions in my 11 years of self-employment as a photographer - business, mindset, personal development, photography! Each one has taken me a step further! And yet I was fed up, because somehow I still wasn't getting any closer to my goal...
To be able to live from my work!
I had my first contact with Edmond's words with his book "Successful as a photographer and filmmaker" with many ahas and okays, my curiosity was aroused, but there was a block to continue, I just didn't want a male coach anymore, those were also my words in the consultation! okay Edmond will hold that against me for a while ;-)
I started with his 8-week program and in this time so much has already changed, suddenly I had a creative head structure and a plan... I made the decision to continue out of reason, if it is finally going to be something and I want to realize my dream then the security has to give way, because at that time it looked anything but rosy on my account!
After 2 months, after so many years of tears, effort and struggle, I can finally see what it can be like to go your own way, to be successful and, above all, to be able to work in the creative industry in a plannable and structured way and to be successful! In addition to structure building, mindset and sales coaching, he is always there to help and advise me, even with things that happen left and right and where I don't know what to do! I now end almost every message to him with THANK YOU 🙏 And yet it doesn't begin to express how happy and grateful I am to have him by my side!
Authentic, close, individual! These are words I would use to describe the collaboration! It doesn't matter where you are at the moment, part-time, just starting out or already many years in the shark tank, the coaching and the collaboration catapults everyone forward by miles or gets them back on track (like me)!
I'm looking forward to the next 10 months and I know there will be a hell of a lot more episodes, that's a promise ;-) and I'm already sorry to have you on my back 😅

Nicole Haucke - family photographer

As a freelance filmmaker, I have been in the market for over 10 years, but I still had my difficulties with some processes and dealing with customers. It was the "war sideshows" that caused me stomach ache. Correct contract confirmations, agreements with the customer, calculating prices or even showing certain customers "limits". I was able to learn processes from Edmond that help me incredibly well.

The personal collaboration with Edmond is still very helpful for me. The contact with Edmond encourages me to tackle certain problems. Edmond is always by my side, giving me advice and important support. I'm super happy that I opted for coaching with Edmond. I should have done this kind of coaching with Edmond much earlier.

Best regards,

Hello friends,

I first became aware of Edmond through his advertisement. And at first I thought to myself, what is this guy trying to tell me? He wants to tell me how to become a successful photographer.
To be honest, it scratched my ego and I started to do some research.

At some point I picked up his first book, but the good content wasn't enough for me to build up trust. So a few months later I picked up his second book.
It was really helpful, but I knew it wouldn't be enough as I needed a clear guide.

To build up even more trust, I found the customers here in the reviews and called them to see if it was real and if it really worked that well.

Without exception, they all confirmed that Edmond is a good coach and that it really works!

I waited exactly 1 year before I became a client with him, as I was still relatively new and wanted to build up my portfolio and explore the direction I wanted to take. In that one year, Edmond and his team must have called me 5 times to find out when I was ready...

I have been a client of Edmond since November 1, 2023 and exactly 2 months later after setting up the basic framework, I completed my first wedding. 6 hours 1900,- Euro
And that's just the beginning...

I now have a completely different opinion of Edmond, he is really competent and strives to help his clients achieve the goals they want. The cooperation with Edmond is also very personal and you get an answer in no time and don't necessarily have to wait until the next live call! But even there it is a super close atmosphere.
I think that's Edmond's hobbyhorse.

I think a lot of people have the problem that they can't admit to themselves that they need help and don't know as much as they think they do. According to the motto, "I have to do it on my own"
Wrong thinking! Anyone who tries to do it alone will fail sooner or later.

In general, I was used to achieving my goals myself and I have a lot of knowledge in many other areas of life, so I thought to myself, I can do this too!

But I had to admit to myself that I had no idea about this subject and that wasn't easy.
In the meantime, I am just happy to have met him and it is an honor to be able to learn from someone who has walked this path before.

Jump over your shadow and get help!

I have been a full-time newborn and maternity photographer since 2019. at the beginning of this year 2023 I decided to do a Prof Coaching with Edmond because I lacked reach and I wanted more baby belly shooting jobs. The coaching lasted a little longer for me because I now shoot full time. it is intensive but you learn a lot because you do it yourself. Edmond is always on hand with help and advice and is incredibly quick! We had to optimize my advertising. After a few changes, the desired effect was finally achieved. Now, a few months later, I can say that I regularly receive orders that finally correspond to my ideas and values. The target group that suits me and also book follow-up orders. I'm currently shooting almost exclusively baby bumps and will soon be adapting my studio accordingly. A conversion is planned! At the moment I hardly even have time to take part in the coaching because everything is going so well. I'm super happy and can now apply my knowledge to all other areas of photography! Big praise to Edmond and his team! Keep up the good work!

I came across Edmond through Instagram and immediately felt addressed because I was actually interested in more clients when I started out as a freelance videographer.

We started our first collaboration back in 2020 and it really helped me move forward.

Now I've started working with Edmond and his team again, but this collaboration is an unimaginable increase in his advice and customer service. And the result speaks for itself.

In the first two weeks alone, I've had more customers and more deals than in previous years.

There's nothing Edmond can't help with. And he is always at your side with help and advice. With his method, the structure and my work, we will go through the roof this year.

Photography - and now, what happens next? Of course, there are numerous supporters and advisors. The Internet currently lures with extremely tempting offers and promises! I have found the right partner.
First of all, I took a close look at how long Edmond Rätzel and his team have been successful in the advertising business and what kind of effort they put in. Advertising is not a low-cost affair, and only those who make money and succeed with their business can sustain it over the long term.
For me, clear concepts and adherence to efficient processes were crucial in my decision-making process. After carefully structuring my goals, I was able to approach my further planning and next steps with the support of Edmond and Anja. One of the first tasks - "Get involved with our concept" - was of great importance to me, and I follow this advice diligently.
Now I'm on a promising path with my website, my advertising, my business and my clients, and I'm off to a great start thanks to Edmond's help. I am fully committed to the concept and will be able to successfully implement many more plans.
I can fully recommend the team of Edmond Rätzel and Edmond personally.

Best regards Frank Inhof

I regret not finding Edmond sooner.
For years I have seen his ads over and over again and did not dare.
If I had known how easy customer acquisition can be, how fast and effective the support from Edmond and his team is, I would have booked much earlier.

I didn't just get a strategy thrown in front of my feet, but a real plan that was customized to me personally together with Edmond. I get answers to my questions within minutes. Not just a short answer, but in the form of a voice message or even a detailed video recording.
Thanks to the collaboration, I have found joy in my photography business again, and it is finally profitable.

In the first month I made a turnover of almost 18K just from the program, and I didn't expect that.

There is no more running after the money. I'm increasingly gaining the dream clients I've wanted, gratefully and with appreciation.

Customers come almost at the push of a button - of course, only if you work together on all the issues and get into the implementation yourself. My absolute recommendation.

Best regards Viktoria

I became aware of Edmond through the many posts and videos on Instagram and YouTube. Of course, one questions, what's in it, can it really all work like that?
Through a private drastic event I had to react professionally and quickly realized that I needed help. I turned to Edmond Rätzel.
Now I have been a client of Edmond Rätzel for 4 months and it has been totally worth it.
Even though I'm still far from where I want to be, the first lessons and help I received have completely changed the way I think about marketing.
Away from old paths, discovering new things and putting them into action.
You have to move in your head, not always easy but it works.
Just by changing small things you positively influence your business and if things don't go as planned, Edmond is available to help solve the problem.
I can unreservedly recommend Edmond Rätzel and look forward to continuing our journey together.

I have been working with Edmond and his team since the beginning of March 2023 and I don't regret a single second. I'm not there yet, but just the fact of having a partner at my side who can help in any situation is worth every euro!
By working with Edmond and his team, everything goes much faster because many mistakes are avoided. You really never stop learning and I'm learning a lot of new things that I wouldn't have done even though I've been a part-time photographer for a few years.
I had a problem with my Facebook advertising account and Edmond solved this within a short time and one day later, my advertising account was activated again. I myself could not even reach Facebook or got only general bot answers that did not really help me.
The incredibly fast support is just great. No matter what question you have, you can ask it and get an answer with a solution in a very short time.
For all who are serious about a photographic future, Edmond and his team are 100% the right partners.
Thank you Edmond, Anja and team!

I became aware of Edmond through his book. A few months later I decided to work with Edmond and his team.
I've been a part-time wedding photographer for over 5 years now, but only got my assignments through referrals because I honestly had no idea how to make myself visible in the world of the internet. Place an advertisement - ME?? No way!

I first booked the 8-week coaching with Edmond - and what can I say? It has more than convinced me! You get all-round advice from website and CRM setup to the design and automation of the ads.
There is extremely much input and help no matter what it is about! Edmond goes through everything step by step with you and helps you wherever he can.

Every week there is the opportunity to participate in live calls on marketing and sales - here everyone has the opportunity to ask all the questions they have. In the live calls on the subject of sales, you get very helpful tips and tricks on how to behave in a sales conversation with the customer.
Personally, the topic of sales is always very difficult for me, because at the moment of the conversation I never know exactly what I'm doing right or what I'm doing wrong. Anja took me by the hand here and showed me what is important in customer conversations and what you should focus on.

After the 8 weeks, I extended the coaching directly - without even thinking about it for a minute!

Edmond offers 1 to 1 coaching - i.e. no matter what problem or question you have, you can write to him directly in a personal chat and get various help within a short time. This was very important to me personally, because I was always extremely uncertain about the topic of advertising and thus wanted to have someone at my side who knows what he is doing!

For about 3 weeks I now switch advertising and have already received over 40 requests pure - a dream!

If you finally want to turn your plan into reality and start your own business or just want to have more visibility on the internet in general, then Edmond and his great team is the right place for you! You will get extremely valuable input and many areas.
Absolutely worth recommending!!!

A big thank you to Edmond and Anja for the great collaboration so far and I'm looking forward to what's to come! 😊

As a coach in the best way! He pushes you ahead of him, and that's a good thing!!! He always stays on, asks questions, and gives very specific answers to all questions. That's how it should be!

I have been working with Edmond for about three months now. In these three months I have learned more than in my last three years. With Edmond, you have a very competent contact person on your side regarding the complete process of getting a job. I was shown how to become visible as a wedding photographer and how to charge profitable prices. The cooperation is definitely worthwhile and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to switch from irregular orders to a planbear business. After the first four weeks of advertising, I have received over 20 inquiries. Edmond is always there to help me with any questions I have. Thank you very much!

Michael Garber

I have been a part-time people and wedding photographer for about 15 years. Customer inquiries came so far irregularly, not scalable and 90% only through recommendations. Even books, videos and seminars with well-known mentors did not bring the desired success. This changed abruptly through coaching with Edmond Rätzel. My doubts at the beginning immediately turned into confidence and I had the right gut feeling from the first minute on. Thanks to the structured learning content and the personal, friendly coaching, things went steeply upwards in just a few months, hand in hand. All questions are answered in the shortest possible time in an understandable and extremely professional manner. At the regular Zoom meetings, experience is exchanged, advice is given and problems are dealt with at a very high level. Advanced users and professionals communicate here on the same wavelength and no question remains unanswered. My personal conclusion: Since the coaching with Edmond and Anja I sit almost daily joyfully at the telephone and lead regularly nice customer discussions, which thanks to Edmond are finally structured, plannable and perfectly documented. If you finally want to get off to a successful start, it's best to register with Edmond Rätzel today!

Thank you very much,
Jürgen Ober from Schwabmünchen Ober-Licht Photography www.ober-licht.de

I discovered Edmond Rätzel on LinkedIn in March, by which time I had seen several ads from him.
We already had a short conversation there, after which I ordered his book. A few months later, in July, I decided to work with him, although at that time I was still actively involved in another consultancy. There I had the feeling that something was still missing, to be really active and constantly present or I still had problems with customer acquisition.

What I have experienced so far (1-2 month of cooperation):After the first couple of weeks I already knew that I will extend the cooperation with him after the first 2 months. (See below why).
I took the "small package" - probably a little skepticism still played a part - there I implemented everything from the consultation as requested, from the website setup to the CRM setup.

Not regretted a minute (3-4 month of cooperation):

After 2 months I then extended. Finally I started with the ad setup and automation. Shortly after the first ads went live, the first requests came in and so far I have also made several deals. Currently, the number of entries (half of the 4th month) is 4.2 people on average per week.
I mean, can you ask for more?

Thanks to his system and of course him and his team, you learn how to sell, convert and automate, faster and more effectively.
I am sure he has saved me a lot of headaches and many years of experimenting.

There is an opportunity to attend a video call once a week on both marketing and sales, there you can ask questions or even practice different customer situations related to sales. However...

..the best is yet to come, which for me played a huge role in my decision to work with them: The 1-to-1 consultation. In the beginning, of course, I myself "not quite" believed, too good to be true.
It is true. No matter how many and how "stupid" question you ask, the answer always comes and even in a very reasonable time in a separate chat where there are only two of you. (My own experience: I have never waited longer than an hour).

I can say that after 3.5 months, there is a lot to implement, the platform is growing, there is always new knowledge available.
I already had a first coach, now I also have a last one, concerning marketing and sales.

I can only say thank you for the time so far and look forward to the coming.
