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


Listen Later

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’t have to be! Listen in today as I guide you through mastering the art of the pitch! 

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’s 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!  📒 Episode Notes, Links, & Resources 📒
