Tuesday 7th July

Firstly I showed my employer the work I had done at home, with the drawings in my sketchbook we discussed what I had learned and then was asked to start looking back at the marketing areas, I searched the internet for any hotel that were either in the process of being refurbished or perhaps being built. I found a few, yet in the current economic climate there was not as many as perhaps hoped. This was so that we might be able to offer them our services and commision some paintings for their new interiors. It was put upon me just how important it is to have a decent background knowledge of who you are calling, what they do and whether they would consider buying any painting. I learned how reading from a script as so many business call centers do, is very unappealing to potential buyers. However, some knowledge of their business or their position can go a long way. Later, some artists books and there pages separated, I was asked to sort them and place them back in chronological order. I enjoyed today and was taught much not only about marketing but also approach and attitude.
