What if selling didn’t feel sleazy, scary, or self-centered—but instead felt like service? In this empowering episode, Andee is joined by longtime creative director, maker advocate, and soon-to-launch licensing agency founder Margo Tantau.
Together, they uncover why artists and product-based founders often struggle to sell what they’ve created—and exactly how to reframe it so selling becomes second nature. If you've ever hesitated to pitch your products, doubted your value, or felt personally rejected when hearing “no,” this is your sign to hit play.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
· The subtle mindset shift that makes selling your own products feel 10x easier
· Why perfectionism is killing your sales—and how to move forward anyway
· A simple visual strategy that gets buyers and art directors to say YES
· What to do when your work gets a “no”—and why it’s usually not about you
· How to pitch your products in-person without fear (including Andee's “10 seconds of courage” trick)
· Why selling your creative work is a gift—and how to embrace that truth
💬 Soundbites You’ll Love:
“Done is better than perfect.”
“You make my job easier when you show me how your art fits my product.”
“We get in our own way more than we realize.”
“Start before you’re ready. Then improve in public.”
