Storytelling for Galleries
BETTER STORYTELLING. BETTER SALES.
For galleries, the sales environment can be summed up in one word: dynamic. At any moment, your team must be equipped to discuss artwork with everyone from retail clients and professional collectors to novices—and shift gears from one artist to the next during your pitch.
Drawing from nearly 40 years of experience in speaking and art sales, Mike helps galleries use strategic storytelling to elevate their buyer presentations.
Ideal for:
Artists, gallery owners, gallery sales teams and arts foundations looking to help nurture their artists’ professional development.

“I delivered the work to [my new customer], we installed it in her house, and then she sent me a message saying, ‘Here they are installed; I love them. Thank you for being so honest and open and sharing your story with me. I feel that now I understand the work so much better and am putting my own stories into them, too.’ I credit Mike for helping me understand how to share that story so that the viewer can then connect to the work in a deeper way.”
“I’ve worked with Mike before this workshop, and I handpicked him because I loved what I had seen him do previously at other workshops. I’d highly recommend Mike to work on any workshop where the importance of storytelling plays a major part in how the business operates. ”
