How To Ask For Money Confidently DURING Your Interior Design Projects
I’m always having money conversations with my clients, and I hear at least ONE of these on a weekly basis 👇
“I feel like I don’t charge enough…”
“I sometimes feel I’m charging too much…”
“I never feel I’m charging correctly…”
While all of these deserve coaching in themselves, that last one is a really big one to dig into because it suggests that there’s a right or wrong way to charge.
And as much as we want to believe there’s a right way to go about doing it… there just isn’t!
Now, many projects will resemble ones you’ve done previously, which makes the guesswork a little easier to figure out.
But we all know that the larger the project, the harder it is to estimate, which leaves you to err on the side of under-estimating the hours, and hitting a point where you know you under-estimated and have to decide if you’re going to ask for more hours, or basically work for free.
Yeah, no fun!
I don’t want any of that for you. Which is why I came back to the topic of Asking For Money.
This week I covered the ART and SCIENCE of asking for money DURING your client project.
Because making the money you deserve does not come from winging it.
It comes from being intentional and deliberate about your time, your processes, and your communication.
