15 Things A Missing Headshot Says About Your Business

Getting a professional headshot is often on the to-do list. Whether it’s for a new business, or for new staff in your growing business, we all know you need it, yet it gets pushed to the backburner. How will this affect your sales?

Think you don’t need one?

Visitors to your website already are interested in your services. Some business owners think that not having a headshot isn’t a big deal. If business is busy, why do they care?

As a Sydney headshot photographer having done many a LinkedIn headshot and business headshots over the years, we know how much difference it makes.

If you’re a Sydney based small business, a headshot could be the difference between someone abandoning the page or filling in the contact form. Studies have shown that 44% of respondents will engage a brand more if they see a picture they like.

This could be why some businesses get all the ideal clients, while others get all the price shoppers.

Sending the wrong message

A headshot says a lot. But not having a headshot, or having some staff missing a headshot, also says a lot. And maybe a lot worse.

Here are some of the things that may be subconsciously going through your prospective customer’s mind right now.

1. They’re probably new, probably not much experience.
2. They’re a big franchise, so they obviously don’t care.
3. Looks like a cheap website, their services must be cheap!
4. I ain’t reading that wall of text!
5. They’re afraid to show their face. What are they hiding?
6. Will I get a call center? Better shop around a bit more.
7. Will they stick around? Are they here for the long term?
8. Can’t see anything “real”, for all I know it could be run out of a kitchen! Better go for something more reliable.
9. Do they not know what their own site looks like? If that’s their “attention to detail…”
10. Looks cold faceless corporation, I’ll go to <competitor> who looks more friendly and welcoming.
11. Hmm, can’t they afford a headshot? Is this someone I can trust?
12. Mix of headshots and no headshots, gee this site looks like a mess! I’m outta here!
13. Looks stagnant. Are they still in business?
14. Maybe they don’t have staff, just temps?
15. Well, they both look fine, but I like the look of <competitor> better. I’ll call them first.

Valent did a photoshoot for our practice and i must say he was professional, funny and kept us all at ease through the whole process. The photos came out great and it was all good fun!

 

Zoe Walton

Personal Branding, Glebe

I've been needing to get some photos done, but it takes a while to get the courage up to get in front of the camera. But the day's been really really useful. Very step-by-step, easy-to-understand. I had a good explanation of what I wanted the photos for and how we were going to get the right photos for my LinkedIn page and for my different pages on my website, business cards. The photo shoot was really easy and a really good process afterwards going through all the photos and choosing what was right for me.

Headshots, Queen's Park

Thanks Valent, you made me feel very comfortable. It was daunting at first, I didn't know what to expect, I have never done this before. But you made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I felt it was very professional, the presentation I was very impressed with the photos.

 

James Adams

Headshots, Pymble

The entire process was very simple and you felt like you had a voice in the process while also being guided through it. The results were phenomenal and exceeded expectations. Valent made you feel very comfortable throughout the session - perhaps that was why the photographs appeared so authentic. I especially liked how I was able to choose the photographs that I preferred.
