with host artist Miriam Schulman
Selling your art shouldn’t feel like convincing someone to buy something they don’t want. After more than 25 years of selling my own artwork, I’ve learned that the best sales conversations happen when you stop performing and start listening. I’m sharing the simple questions that help collectors connect more deeply with your work, how to respond to common objections without discounting, and why holding your prices with confidence can completely change your results. If you’ve ever worried about sounding pushy or awkward when talking about your art, this episode will help you sell with more ease, authenticity, and confidence.
“You’re not here to convince them. You’re here to help them talk themselves into the art they already love.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Learn why listening is more powerful than persuading when selling your artwork.
- Discover the questions that encourage collectors to connect emotionally with your art.
- Create a more natural sales conversation that feels genuine instead of salesy.
“People believe what they say far more than anything you’ll ever say about your own art.” – Miriam Schulman
