What are your questions about running a photography studio?

I love watching, learning from, being inspired by and appreciating an articulate Brother or Sister in any profession, but certainly in photography. Keep it rolling!

Rechargeable batteries dude! Could you talk about how you acquire clients? Cold calls or blind emails or do you sent out mailers? Are you primarily B2b or b2c revenue studio?
