Playing the Long Game: Patience in High Ticket Sales


Listen Later

In this episode, we uncover the art and science of storytelling as a game-changing tool for selling high-end experiences and services. Drawing from real-world examples of Luca “Canvas” Conti, a Milanese art dealer, and Gabriel “Odyssey” Ortega, a bespoke travel consultant, we explore how weaving compelling narratives can transform a pitch into an irresistible invitation.

Discover how Luca turned a haunting portrait into a $1.2 million sale and how Gabriel curated travel experiences that weren’t just trips but epic adventures. Whether you're selling art, luxury travel, or high-end services, these lessons will show you how to elevate your craft with the power of story.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why storytelling is a superpower in luxury sales.
  • How Luca Conti used narrative to sell art through emotion, not technique.
  • The secret to creating "once-in-a-lifetime" journeys with Gabriel Ortega’s approach.
  • Practical tips for using storytelling to evoke emotions and close premium sales.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Emotion Over Information: Buyers at the high end are driven by feelings, not facts. Learn how to craft stories that speak to their aspirations and values.
  2. The Power of Context: A painting, a journey, or a service is transformed when you reveal the human stories behind them.
  3. Creating Desire Through Mystery: Luca’s unmarked gallery door in Brera wasn’t just a detail; it was a signal of exclusivity. How can you incorporate subtle cues into your offerings?
  4. Making Clients the Hero: Gabriel’s travel adventures weren’t just itineraries—they were epic tales waiting for his clients to step into the starring role.

Action Steps:

  • Identify the “story” behind your product or service. What’s the human connection?
  • Craft a narrative that evokes emotion and builds anticipation.
  • Experiment with storytelling in your next pitch or client interaction.
