with host artist Miriam Schulman
Ever wonder why you’re not closing more sales even when someone shows interest? It might not be your art… it might be your timing. In this episode, I share some laugh-out-loud stories (including one about my daughter’s almost-romance) to help you see how art sales follow the same rules as dating. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at why waiting too long, hesitating, or not following up can quietly kill your momentum and what to do instead.
“Letting somebody walk away without giving them the opportunity to say yes is actually a form of self-rejection.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Learn how delayed follow-up sends the wrong message to potential buyers
- Explore ways to guide the sale without feeling pushy
- Discover why hesitation often stems from self-doubt, not strategy
“It is not your customer’s job to chase you.” – Miriam Schulman
