Thank you Richard, I'll be reading that magazine before the show and start coaching myself. I spent 17 years in sales before I went into HVAC, selling was easy then because I was selling a decent product that I was very knowledgable about. Selling my artwork is a whole different ballgame, I feel like I'm giving away part if my soul and never know what to say. So I'll read alot and practice on my poor suffering husband.
Marcus, I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences selling in Singapore. Be sure to start a thread on it, it's so fascinating to read about other countries and cultures. I complain a lot about my family, but I wouldn't have it any other way. My father, mother and others of the older generation are all dead, and even when they were alive were inaccessable (just not really interested). I made it a point to keep my own kids close and I have a big crazy extended family! Plus if I really needed security I could bring my german shepherd, but then the customers would stay away too.
