158: Mastering the Art of the Pitch: Building the Confidence to Reach Out

Published: Aug. 15, 2024, 9 a.m.

As creatives, most of us eventually have to face the scary task of pitching or presenting our work, whether it be in trying to sell our work to a client, get it published, get it licensed, etc. It can be, as I said, scary, but it definitely doesn\u2019t have to be! Listen in today as I guide you through mastering the art of the pitch!\xa0

I discuss the common fears that tend to hold us back, such as self-doubt, fear of rejection, imposter syndrome, and more. I share some personal stories that help exemplify how I overcame some of these fears and reach out with my pitches.

Learn some practical strategies such as thorough preparation, pitching in tiers, and fine-tuning your portfolio so that it reflects the work that you truly want to be doing. I also emphasize why it\u2019s important to create a routine around pitching so that it becomes a basic part of your workflow rather than something that you dread.

Plus, stay tuned for a reminder about my new Ultimate Art Licensing Handbook, a treasure trove of insights that will save you countless hours and help you find the perfect art licensing partners for your work!\xa0
