Yes, thank you for the reminder! Good advice, worth repeating!
Thanks for the reminder! I love how you did this!!!
Alyson! This is a question I had that I did not remember or have an opportunity to ask at the workshop in PA. Specifically, when people find out I’m a painter, they will often tell me about a painting they’d love to have done, but then I’m left wondering how to actually make something happen. How do you follow up (professionally)? Have you addressed this topic somewhere?
Stacy: I know. You were in a state of overwhelm–in a good way, right?
Did you read some of the Related Posts listed at the end of the article? I think you have my book, too. Entire chapter!!! Bottom line: Do something. You can’t mess up if you take action. I usually opt for something handwritten sent in the mail.
Alyson,
Sometimes you scare me. Which is good when you scare me
into action. This post did.
Thanks,
Barbara
Ah, I AM scary. Now you’ll always hear a little voice: Alyson said to follow up. I MUST do it.
uhh…you mean we ought to follow UP? This was a hoot – thanks!
How right you are Alyson. I hear that little voice (yours) all the time! Sometimes it torments me, but then I quote the voice (yours) to everyone
(including me) who needs a jolt of your special magic. What’s that?
Sanity, humour and excellent business sense for artists.
You are the best,
Barbara
Hi – If I’m not out of line here – can I say – even follow up if it’s a month or two later. LIfe is busy for all of us. Sometimes I start something – like a shed project that I want a contractor to help us with. I make a bunch of calls, I get the ball rolling, then I get distracted by something more important and have to come back to it a couple of months later. If I hear back from someone in that time line “sorry, it took me a while to get back to you, but if you’re still interested” I will still consider them. (sometimes 2 months seems like 2 weeks).
