Reading it now, ~8 years later, I agree with much of Eric’s advice, but I’m not sure about the order. Why does “personal branding” get a listing before actual gallery experience? Every dealer should cut their teeth in a brick-and-mortar art business – in fact that’s where $50-60 Billion of the world’s art sales happen. IMO, #6, “Sales is King” is the winner. If you don’t have a practiced, repeatable sales technique, you’re leaving money on the table.
