Ep: 405 - The Efficiency of Commissions with Micah Schedler
Manage episode 366278566 series 3334692
Commissions… I feel like it’s a four letter word when I talk to some potters. You see them physically tense up and take a deep breath ready to do battle with a fire breathing dragon. And I’ve always been a little bit confused by this because I kind of like them. Just add it to the list of the ways that it makes me a bit of a black sheep in the art world. You can slot it right next to my love of systems and routine and willingness to talk about marketing and sales. But I digress… When I sat down with Micah Schedler I thought we’d mostly chat about how he’s balancing working as a health professional in nursing as well as having 2 little kids and launching a brand new website - I didn’t know we’d share a joy of the efficiency of commissions and that’s actually where he hopes to focus most of his business. But hang with us here. If you are already rolling your eyes, thinking “No way, Rebecca. I tried it once and it was a mess. I’ll never do a commission again.” Before you click the next button, just give us maybe 10 minutes to see if Micah’s controlled approach to how he makes commissions work best for him - amidst the sleep deprivation of toddlers and working another job - might help you re-think this often annoying request…
We have some exciting brainstorming happening inside of The Community right now around extra perks for our members in relation to this very podcast! Everything from announcing our members shop update in our weekly newsletter (you can sign up for that newsletter here if you are interested!), to getting our Community members a sneak peek on upcoming podcast interviews so they are able to ask questions of our guests in advance. If you’ve been curious about The Community and want to join in this brainstorming, come test it out with a 2-week free trial by visiting makersplaybook.com/community and let me know what podcast perks you’d love to have!
