    Ep 46: Tracking leads = better future projects!

    Are you tracking your opportunities? So many designers know they get their jobs from referrals but do you know:
    Who is your best lead source?How long is the process from initial contact to a Yes or No answer?What's your close rate?How much is your average client/project worth?In this recording of my weekly live on IG, I talk about the importance of capturing this info, even on the jobs you don't get!
    It's going to make you much more informed on what a quality project looks to you and how to plan for the ebb and flow of leads.

    Ep 45: Sales - The Introvert's NIGHTMARE

    Ep 45: Sales - The Introvert's NIGHTMARE

    In any design firm, sales is a necessary evil. But, so many designers avoid it like the plaque because, quite frankly, it doesn't feel great. I always felt that in order to sign a client, I needed to be boastful and pushy to close the deal, which made me cringe. In this episode, I share how I was able to land a $103,000 job by leveraging my introverted nature to sell in a way that felt genuine and positive. I want this for you, too! I have an upcoming seminar, 'Sales for Introverts,' designed to teach designers how to sell effectively while staying true to themselves. Join me to transform the way you think about sales in your design business!

    Ep 44: Husbandry 101

    Ep 44: Husbandry 101

    Reality check - most women run financial decisions by their husbands. It's how we were raised, it's what we've been taught.
    Men are so much more confident in their approach and are prone to take risks, not because they know more or are smarter, but because that was expected of them.
    If you've been looking at my Membership but haven't pulled the trigger because you feel you need to run it by your husband, take a listen.
    I'm not advocating that you hid something or don't inform your spouse about what you want to do, I only am discussing the elephant in the room.
    If you feel called to join the Membership (it's high value and affordably priced), then I encourage you to join in.
    It's your decision and only YOU know what's truly right for you and your interior design business!

    Ep 43: Are You Scared SHITLESS About.....

    Ep 43: Are You Scared SHITLESS About.....

    We as designers tend to be so afraid to make a mistake - that perfectionism gene can really hold us back!

    So many designers I speak with are scared shitless to add wholesale purchasing to their business and maybe you are, too.

    In this episode I talk about all the aspects of purchasing that you may be scared about, and how I address each and every one of them in my Membership.

    Give it a listen, I don't want you to be scared shitless any more!

    Ep 41: My Idols LIED to Me

    This episode was never going to get published. But, the idea kept coming up in my head, so here you go. No one talks about how hard it is to run and build a small interior design business. The fears, doubts and failures are all wrapped up in it, along with the wins and successes. I give some advice on how to navigate the bumps in the road and I hope after listening, you feel seen and appreciate all that you've done so far to make your business work!
