1 major problem I see in filmmakers is they are terrible at selling.
When having a sales conversation, they enter into concepts and scenes that an investor probably doesn’t understand or care about.
They speak and speak without taking a break for the conversation to settle in.
Don’t feel bad—I was one of them, too! Until I learned the skill of selling. And you know what? I have become a great seller, and today, I want to share three things you can do when selling.
Actively listen. Pay attention to the people you meet with, and you will be surprised at what you learn about them. Let them talk and say everything they need to say.
Ask questions. You don’t know everything; above all, don’t assume things. This is why asking questions can become a great selling tool. You will know firsthand what they need and want so you can deliver properly and professionally.
Have a number in mind. Don’t lower the price or budget just because they are not available. If they like what they see, they will buy. Every time you have the opportunity to sell, practice your numbers. You are not doing it for them; you are doing it for you and your film.
Bonus: Your marketing, branding, and presentation skills are also important when you sell, and you will learn these when you join Filmpreneurship Network membership.
How can you intertwine all the strategies you work on inside the membership and put them to work daily to have amazing results?
Well, this is not a program where you only learn; you also apply it to real life in real-time.
