Art Sales Conversation

Share your world

Are you uncomfortable talking with potential buyers because you don’t want to seem pushy? Forget about their wallets.

Every sale starts with a conversation.

But not every conversation ends up as a sale. Lots of conversations between artists and potential buyers are just that–interesting chats.

If someone is interested enough in your work to ask questions about it, answer them as fully as you can. Talk  about your work, what you do, why you do it, what you love about it. 

If you’re clear in your own mind that you’re not pitching a sale, both you and the buyer will thoroughly enjoy  yourselves. You’re involving them in your world, opening a door into an experience they may not otherwise be able to have.
You might eventually sell a piece of your work–and you might not. But somebody once said that conversation is  the sex of the soul.  

And that’s a pretty good way to spend your time.

smARTist® Move of the week: 
The next time a buyer asks you a question, remind yourself that it’s not the opening for a sales pitch. It’s a  sincere request for more information. Answer it fully, without wondering if you’ll eventually make a sale.    

Until next time, wishing you continued creative flow,

Ariane
