Hi Alyson,
This post is helping me prepare for a huge networking event my daughter and I are going to tomorrow. Before reading the post I was a little afraid because I never know quite what to say at these types of events. Thanks to this post and your link to emptyeasel.com:
I created a digital portfolio on my phone using Evernote (free productivity app). It took me about 38 minutes to find Evernote online, watch the 3 minute tutorial, create the folder, upload the images from my computer and type small notes about each of the paintings.
When a turned my phone on and tapped on the Evernote icon, it automatically synched. Yay! I must practice my 10-second intro still BUT I can’t wait to meet folks FACE-to-FACE.
Thanks for all you do, Alyson!
Toni

Penny: Don’t try the hard sale. It’s just not natural.

Hi Alyson,
I’m a pen & ink and watercolour artist, thanks for all the good advice.
I already knew about your book, but it wasn’t until another artist mentioned it to me some months later that my I got my act together I bought it. I’ve been getting my act together ever since.
I took part in my first craft fair of 2012 a week or so ago, and although I made very few sales, it was a big networking success! Coincidentally I received your ‘face to face networking’ blog the next day – right on target.
I’ve just started my blog – http://www.andyscordellis.blogspot.co.uk – and the craft fair is featured in my second post – ‘…village teas, superheroes, and greek coffee…’ hope you like it.
Once again many thanks,
Andy.

I loved reading everyones comments and suggestions. Working as a sculptor is a lonely business and I am making a big effort this year to get myself and my work more visible. I believe meeting with people and saying the right things are critical though I struggle terribly with some of it. I am not quick on my feet with the correct comment but keep working to get better. I have a difficult time with a “hard sale”. People always tell me they love my work but getting a sale is another animal all together. I keep pushing for a better me as a sales representative. I think we all need to look closley at how we present ourselves and how we face people with our body language and our expressions. Remember to SMILE!!!!

on the front of my business card is my logo KevanArt then fabric+paint+thread, then the image of art, with title below. on the back is my name, fiber artist, curator, teacher, then my website, email and a big empty square taking half the card, ( vertical orientation) inside the box at the very top it says I received this card from: so I will write on it for the person, where we met and the date, or instructions, like- please email date of show in April. I invite people to write on my cards with this space.
