I was not born to be a salesperson! I can't sell anything or sweet talk anyone into buying anything. It is amazing I have been able to sell some of my work. I freeze when I hear people discussing my art, say in a gallery opening. I'm too embarrassed to listen to their "private conversation" so I walk away. Rather than introducing myself to them, I shy away because I don't want to appear trying to sell them my "wares".
I have read many books and articles coaching artists how to sell and market their art. I know what I should do but don't. I cringe when I see other artists doing it but I know it works for them. So, what am I to do?
