150: The Introverts Edge: How Shy Artists Can Outsell Anyone with Matthew Pollard and Miriam Schulman

with host artist Miriam Schulman

If you think you have to be pushy in sales, that’s simply not true. You don’t have to learn sleazy sales techniques and you don’t have to be an extrovert.

The truth is SHY artists often make the BEST sales people when armed with systems that that rely on their strengths of listening. Today, I’ve invited Matthew Pollard to The Inspiration Place Podcast to discuss how shy artists can outsell anyone!


In this podcast, you will discover…

  • Why your natural personality (even if you’re shy) is perfect for selling
  • How to overcome your fear of selling
  • How stories can be used to side step objections

About the host, Miriam Schulman

In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.

After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur, how to make money from your creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country. I’d love to invite you to check out one of my free resources for art lovers (of every passion level) at schulmanart.com/freebies
