Customer service.

Dealing with customers would be a lot easier if we didn’t have to deal with customers.

But then we would have no sales and no business.

So we have to learn to deal with the good customer and the difficult customer, the one who changes their mind, thinks your paintings are to expensive or the one who can’t find any painting that will match her curtains and on and on.

Customers are part of doing business and we need them, best if we can always have good customers rather than the difficult customer, the problem is it’s hard to tell the difference until you start talking to them.

We could run away and hide and use the excuse that I am an Artist and someone else should sell my Art for me, but unless you are very popular that is not going to happen, you have to sell your Art.

So embrace customer service as a highlight in your life because it means people are interacting with you and your Art and you are getting their attention and out of that may come sales.

Once the customer buys from you, work hard on building a relationship with them so they become a friend and collector rather than just another customer.
