Designer's Oasis

Interior Designer's Business Blueprint

Have you been at this a while, but for some reason you can’t seem to either get to that next level revenue goal you’ve set and you feel stuck at the level you’re at?

Today’s episode is all about the habits that keep you stuck and broke. Those habits that keep holding you back and are keeping you from really thriving in your business. I want to share what I see often that keeps interior designers in a perpetual loop and how to make mindset shifts to really make some adjustments and gain some clarity.

Here’s a glance at the episode:

[5:55] Leaving money on the table is the first reason I have seen interior designers stay stuck, which can happen with scope creep and change orders. I share a few ways to address this in the future.

[9:17] I share how to use value-based proposals to ensure your clients can see what each level of service really includes.

[10:55] I share about tracking time and how important it is no matter how you are charging for your services.

[13:54] I dive into the importance of the follow up plan and staying connected with your prospective clients. I share how follow up is part of the selling process.

[20:00] I talk about all things undercharging. So many interior designers are perpetually undercharging and I share all the ways you may be doing this and how to make sure you are aware moving forward.

[28:45] I wrap up with questions to ask yourself if these topics resonated with you and how to start making adjustments.
