How To Maintain Control of Your Design Projects
I know your interior design clients have the tendency to drive you nuts...
But my take? Is that they're totally misunderstood!
See, when your client does those things that drive you insane, like...
Buys items that are in your scope of work
Always asking for more meetings
Constantly checking in about their project
You brain tends to jump to the most obvious conclusion… that your client wants to take control.
But I really believe that your client doesn’t want to take control at all.
They just want to know their project is being prioritized and managed effectively.
And if they DON’T feel those things are getting accomplished…
Well, that’s when they insert themselves.
See, your design clients insert themselves in YOUR ~literal~ business when they're confused, worried, or uncertain.
👉 Confused about what's next in the process.
👉 Worried things aren't getting done.
👉 Uncertain if you have their best interests at heart and are managing their funds properly.
And if you’re not effectively communicating and displaying you’re on top of it all... well…
…you're basically giving them the green light to take over.
To have a seamless design experience YOU have to be the one leading your client, and not the other way around.
So this week I went live and talked all about HOW to lead your clients from the very beginning.
We covered...
What client leadership really is and looks like
Why your clients get too involved in your design process
How to establish leadership with your clients from the beginning… and maintain it during your design process
If any of these are topics you’ve struggled with before… then you’re going to want to listen in.
Because it’s time you take control, friend, from the very beginning.
