PART TWO: “A Pitch that Slays and Plays”- Precious L. Williams I once shrugged off my inability to connect with buyers as inevitable. But this all changed after attending SCORE’s “Elevate Your Pitch Game: Getting Clients, Customers and Funder to say “yes.” The presenter, Precious L. Williams, a winner of Shark Tank” had demonstrated her pitch and gave insightful tips. I now understood what I was doing wrong. I had been delivering the same pitch to everyone. The only exception was when I was selling my prints at a special event last year. I didn’t realize it was a pitch at the time. However, I listened to people looking at my prints and adapted my “pitch to align with their interests.” It was time consuming but did generate sales. But I wasn’t sure if that would connect with a broader audience. Williams told attendees how to set up ideal prospects. The pitch is a call to action Authentic Transparent Owning your zone of genius Storytelling Tells why you’re the only choice that matters A pitch slays and plays #sharktank #pitch #sales elainemariefineart.com SCORE.org

  • Emotional connection is one of the motivations for buying a work of art.  This painting of New Canal sold itself. I did very little storytelling. The buyer was from Louisiana.
