Our interior design host Maria Martin and Cheryl are diving into these topics:

  • Why interior designers need to be salespeople first
  • Business essentials​
     - Website, Q&As
     - Discovery process, repetition is key
     - Scope of work and fee proposal - set clear expectations on deliverables, have templates
        for different project types
  • Build trust with your client first, then spend is less of an issue.
  • Use minimum expenditure, not budget
  • Think about how much money you need to run your business, then charge accordingly
  • Mindset is key: You don’t charge for time; you charge for experience.
  • The issue with good-better-best options.
  • Elevate your design rate vs project management rate
  • Define and track milestones
