ICON6 Video: Price Negotiation w/ Maria Piscopo
Today’s video installment of EFII’s coverage of the ICON6 Illustration conference features an inspiring presentation called “Because You’re Worth It”, in which art rep, author, and creative consultant Maria Piscopo offers 7 useful tips on negotiating price with potential clients.
If you’ve ever struggled with getting paid what you’re worth for a particular project, you’ll want to watch this again and again, because Maria packs an amazing amount of advice into her 2o-minute talk. Even though you can’t see the slides, the spoken words make everything clear.

I’m happy to announce that Maria Piscopo will be appearing on the Escape from Illustration Island Podcast within the next few weeks. Stay tuned!

Hrmm, shoulda been taking notes. This was amazing.

Wow! This is great information! Like most illustrators, this is the area at which I suck the most!! Thanks for posting this Thomas!
Again, I’m grateful for the chance to share this, and so glad that I chose this as one of the select presentations I got to videotape at the conference. I’ll be speaking with Maria tomorrow for an upcoming EFII Podcast episode. Should be interesting.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Thomas. I got a lot out of her article on adbase so it was great to see this presentation.

Looking forward to your interview with Maria.
This is marvelous, thanks for sharing Thomas.
Will any of your ICON videos be available for download? I would love to have this on my hard drive for future reference.
Sure thing, Peter. Just click on the “Share” link in the upper left hand corner of the video, and you’ll seen options for downloading the file. Let me know if this works for you.
Thank you so much for this video, I just got a call about pricing I was struggling with and I think I was able to give much more assertive answers thanks to this information.
That’s great, Dan. One of the ideas that I really like from this video is the concept of getting a conversation going with the client, rather than just putting a price out there to get shot down. I’m glad you’ve already been able to apply Maria’s thoughts to your business.
