Five Keys to Help Sell your Acting
Services |
|
You have heard it a million times before: Acting is a business.
And one of the most challenging aspects of keeping any business
thriving is that dreaded word, selling. Over the past year, I
conducted an informal survey with over 300 actors across the US
and parts of Canada. The results? Less than five percent – yes I
said five percent – of we actors, are interested in learning
effective sales skills that we can apply to increase our
opportunities. That said, here are five keys from the world of
sales that you can immediately apply to your business of acting
to create and leverage every potential opportunity.
Click here to read the rest of the article and to see the five
sales keys.
