If you want to improve your interior design sales process, you need to understand what your prospective clients are thinking before they decide to hire you. Because loving your work and being ready to sign a contract are two very different things.
Before joining a coaching program, you need to know whether it will actually help you make better decisions in your interior design business—not just give you another pile of information.
Before chasing more clients, I want you to look at what’s already happening inside your interior design business. Because adding more work to a shaky foundation can make the problem worse.
If you’re an interior designer who keeps hitting the same comfortable design fee, this episode is for you. I’m sharing Tina’s story of going from a $17,000 design fee ceiling to a $96,000 fee and the shift was not that she suddenly became five times better at design.
If your interior design fees go down when you really want a project and shoot up when you’re hoping a client says no, the fee may not be the real problem.
