Miriam Schulman discusses the emotional motivations behind art sales and the importance of storytelling in connecting with collectors.
What really drives someone to buy art? In this episode, Miriam Schulman unpacks the powerful role of self-awareness, storytelling, and emotional insight in increasing art sales. Drawing from her journey from Wall Street to becoming a leading art sales coach, Miriam reveals why selling isn’t about pushing products, it's about creating connections. You’ll learn how to tap into the emotional motivations of collectors, craft authentic stories around your work, and position your art in a way that resonates deeply and sells.
