Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Ciera Glenn. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Ciera, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Alright, so we’d love to hear about how you got your first client or customer. What’s the story?
During Covid, we had a local photographer drive by our pasture and asked to rent our tall grass pasture to shoot her mini sessions. She then told her five other photographer friends, and our farm became a photo venue over night. It was like we were building the boat as we were learning how to sail.
Ciera, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Our story isn’t traditional, whatever that even means anymore. We don’t fit the mold, nor would we ever want to. Some say we don’t know how to do life slowly; this pandemic solidifies that statement. We spent most of the quarantine dreaming of our future and eating too many Oreos. Finally, after countless hours of research, endless home tours, and obsessing over specific home designs, we put our dreams on paper, and our future came to life. In August 2020, we escaped city life and purchased our three-acre farm. Overnight it felt like we became farmers, and we love every minute of freedom it has provided us. Our property carries a story from 1904, and we hope to carry on its legacy of teamwork, perseverance, and dreams.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
BE AUTHENTICALLY REAL. Your customers want the tea, the full tea and nothing but the tea so spill it.
How do you keep your team’s morale high?
Relationships, relationships, relationships. Being both from leadership, we know a thing or two about boosting morale but at the end of the day, we care about our people so our people care about us. We do weekly lunch dates, purchase coffee on cold days, check in on them daily and are invested in their happiness not because we should, but because it is our nature.
