Join Relationship Ramp Up

You are an ambitious and talented actress. You work hard and take a lot of action, but you still feel stuck. Whether it’s your lack of opportunities, quality auditions, or you feel overlooked by the “powers that be”, you feel like you should be farther along.

Maybe your representation kinda sucks and you don’t get sent out very often, or you’re between agents and aren’t going out at all. You feel like if you could just get a better agent, that would solve the problem...only you know from past experience that it doesn’t.

You know you have the goods because you get positive feedback on your work pay-to-meet events. If you have to hear, “You’re great, we love you, no thanks” one more time...seriously...how can you figure out where the disconnect is so that you can finally break through?

I’m Emily Grace, founder of Pickford West Society, and the creator of Relationship Ramp Up.

In addition to helping my fellow actresses, I’m also a Sundance award-winning actress, a writer, director and producer (sometimes all at the same time). I’ve spent years in front of and behind the camera, worked with an independent film producer in the $5M -$50M range, and built three businesses from the ground up.

Through all of my experiences, the biggest lesson I have learned is this: The FASTEST way to get from here to where you really want to be is through industry connections with people who can hire you.

WEEKLY LIVE ONLINE CLASS MODULES

This program will happen live and online beginning the week of November 11. All you need to participate is an internet connection and the Zoom application.

Putting yourself out there to a Big. Important. Person. is scary. It triggers all kinds of stuff and it's uncomfortable.

During the STEP UP TO THE PLATE sessions you and your classmates will be clicking send, making scary phone calls, and asking for what you want.

This part of program is worth ten times your investment, because it will finally get you out of resistance and into action.

Something magical happens when a group of dedicated women commit to taking action. I will be here to give you the structure, support and encouragement you need to overcome your resistance, be bold, and book the work you want.

These sessions will take place throughout the program, so it really is going to be a relationship ramp up to build momentum.

Here's what else you'll learn in the program:

CLARITY

First we lay the foundation for your success by choosing the direction bringing your ideal vision for the career you really want into focus.

Once we know where you’re heading, it’s easy to choose the connections you’ll need to have to make your vision into a reality.

NURTURE YOUR NETWORK

You already have a network in place of people who can hire you, collaborate with you, refer, mentor or help you. Learn an easy system to strengthen the relationships you already have to create momentum, open doors, and start working.

CREATE NEW CONNECTIONS

Building new relationships can feel daunting. If you have ever stopped yourself from reaching out because you don’t feel like you have anything to offer, you need to wait until you have a bigger credit, a better agent, a banging body, or fill-in-the-blank, this program will help you move past that.

You’ll learn how to position yourself, your talent and your value in a powerful way so that you can build authentic connects with industry power players. From what to say, how to say it, to how often to follow up, this program has got you covered.

CULTIVATE TRUST

People like to hire the people they trust. So how do you go from a total stranger to trusted colleague? This program will show you the art of effective communication, without feeling like that annoying needy actor.

ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT

It would be great if people could read your mind and magically give you what want...but it doesn’t work that way. It’s time to step into bigger shoes and be the badass champion of your own career. Be bold, direct and ask for what you want.

Asking for what you want is scary. Don’t let a little fear stop you from doing taking the most important action that has the biggest impact on your long term success.

I’ll be here to help you every step of the way to bust through your fear, to get comfortable being uncomfortable, so that you can finally breakthrough to a new level of success.

Plus I’ll share my tips for how to make your requests easy so that you’re not only more likely to get a yes, you’ll also maintain a great relationship.

COLLABORATE ON NEW PROJECTS

When you invest time into building relationships and trust with people who can hire you...you tend to get hired by those people. Isn’t that kinda the point of this whole career?

Good thing you’re such a smarty pants, because when you follow the steps laid out in Ramp Up Your Relationships, you’ll be miles ahead of your competition, and well on your way to the projects, collaborations, and career you really want.

TAKE ACTION

This program is designed to get you into action right away. Listening and learning doesn’t do you any good without implementation.

Every week you will be in the flow of action so that the relationships you have, and the ones you create, will pay off for you as quickly as possible.

“Everyone always tells you that the odds are against you, the statistics are ridiculous, there are SO many people trying to do the same thing you are – You have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of making acting a career…

Right, there are TONS of people you’re competing against, but it becomes less daunting when you realize that MOST of those people probably aren’t employing those necessary business and marketing strategies and doing so consistently. Once YOU do, you WILL see results, you WILL realize that pool of competition becomes much smaller and that THIS SH*T ACTUALLY WORKS!”
