Your Art'
Presented by Rae Gold
Saturday,
October 28, 2006

You get into the show & your booth looks great, but if you don't understand how to sell your work, none of this will matter. Rae will share the basic steps to creating the sale and what it takes to increase yours.
Through role-playing exercises you will learn how to:
*Gain confidence presenting your work
*Explain your work to a client
*Establish a comfortable relationship with the client
*Listen effectively
*Learn when to "call for the question" (ask for the sale)
*Overcome common objections like "I can't afford it"
*Create the sale
Rae will also discuss how you look, act, the look of your booth & the type of show to apply to. Marketing your work will also be covered: shows, galleries, promotion, etc. Lunch will be provided.
