The First Collector Email A quiet, clear introduction to starting genuine conversations with collectors

This is for artists who want to share their work with clarity, confidence, and care.

If you’ve hesitated to reach out to collectors because you weren’t sure what to say—or didn’t want to come off as “salesy”—you’re not alone.

The First Collector Email is a calm, focused bootcamp that guides you through the process of writing your first outreach message—one that sounds like you, honors your tone, and genuinely invites someone into your world.

You don’t need to be perfect. You don’t need to perform.

You just need a quiet framework—and the courage to begin.

This is for you if:

  • You’ve put off reaching out because it feels awkward or self-promotional
  • You want your first collector email to sound warm, thoughtful, and real
  • You’ve struggled to find the right tone or words when introducing your work
  • You’d love a step-by-step guide that feels supportive, not pushy
  • You’re ready to begin meaningful conversations with potential collectors

What you’ll receive:

  • Five short, focused emails
  • One clear concept each day
  • One specific action step to try immediately
  • One optional journaling prompt to deepen the insight
  • Bonus: A quiet follow-up strategy that doesn’t feel intrusive

Topics include:

  • Why most first emails never get sent
  • How to find a voice that feels like you
  • What to say, how much to say, and when to say it
  • How to know who to write to (hint: it’s not 100 people)
  • A calm mindset for sending and following up without pressure

Details

  • Format: Email-only (no video, no logins)
  • Duration: 5 days (+ bonus follow-up day)
  • Begins: Immediately upon signup
  • Cost: $49

You’ll begin connecting with collectors the moment you sign up.

A note from Jeffrey

For years, I avoided outreach. Not because I didn’t care about connecting with collectors—but because I didn’t know how to begin. Everything felt awkward. Every attempt felt like a pitch.

But when I started writing the way I paint—with honesty, care, and stillness—everything changed.

People responded not to polish, but to presence.

This bootcamp is everything I wish I’d had when I first started reaching out. It’s a quiet, encouraging space to help you write your very first collector email—and feel good about it.

If you’ve hesitated before, this is a gentle way in.

Let’s begin.

Have a beautiful day,
Jeffrey
