  2. Tastemaker vs. Order Taker: Which one are you?

    Tastemaker vs. Order Taker: Which one are you?

    Order takers get bullied by clients. Their clients ask for discounts, are late to pay, and see the professional (YOU) as their assistant rather than as their trusted professional. To make matters worse, as the order taker, you are naturally more focused on the sale rather than the client outcome. If you aren't intentionally branding yourself as a tastemaker, you are an order taker. In today's episode of the Kate Show, I'm exploring how you can uproot the order taker vibes and turn your home industry brand into one that gives tastemaker vibes. 📌 Timestamps 0:00 Introduction: Differentiating Between Tastemakers and Order Takers 4:21 Characteristics of Tastemakers 5:03 Building a Client-Focused Brand 9:49 Intentions and Strategies for Magnetic Appeal 14:33 Consistency and Niche Down 18:17 Words of Caution for Aspiring Interior Design Tastemakers 20:12 Frequently Asked Questions Music License: LAULU6U9GZG6TISP_Garden of the Fae
