Do you want your clients to consider you a "real" pro? Then why are you using a headshot from 800 years ago?!
OK. I get it. We all want to look "nice" in our business headshots.
Cool. I totally understand.
But honestly, if you're using a headshot that's more than 5 years old, what good can possibly come from it?
When you do finally meet in person, I'm sure the "shock" value will somehow transform into a form of deception to the client, sub-consciously or consciously, don't you think?
I mean, no one died recently and made me the headshot police, but I guess this blog post can be considered a "reality checkpoint" for those on the road to disaster, that's all.
Is there a chance that a prospective client will see your headshot, only to log onto your Facebook and wonder why a pic of your mother or father is in your profile?
And if you are one of those who, for whatever reason, have not gotten around to updating your headshot in the last 5 years, there is the possibility that you could be losing business for just this psychological reason and not know it.
Trust yourself. Be yourself.
Confidence is a very sexy thing. Which usually manifests into $$$$
Now play nice and go sell a house or something..............
