Improve Your Business With Competitive Research
  • It's easy to get stuck on what improvements you should make to your business. There are your services, messaging, marketing, products, website, branding, process, and so much more. One of the best way to gather ideas is to do competitive research. Are they doing something that you aren't? Are they offering something similar that you could improve on your end to stand out? Asking yourself these questions will help you brainstorm your own ideas without getting stuck in a rut. In this workshop, Debra will lead you through a worksheet on what to look for and how to use that information to improve your business.
The Power of a Visionary & Integrator Relationship
  • Are you constantly bursting with new ideas but struggle to choose a clear path or stay focused? As a home design business owner, you're probably a Visionary. You wake up with 20 new ideas, meanwhile, you've already got a million other things on your plate so it's near impossible to implement anything new. Why is this? To put it simply, it's just how you're wired. What you need is someone entirely opposite of you on your team - remember, opposites attract! This person is called an Integrator. Visionaries and Integrators are wired completely different and have strengths that complement one another. Visionaries are the "what and why" and Integrators are the "how." This leads to different responsibilities and accountabilities across your business and thus, getting more done!! If you'd like to learn more about the Visionary Integrator relationship and if it will benefit your business, join us for our next workshop for tips on finding an Integrator, first hand experience sharing, and how to set up an accountability chart for clarity across your entire business.
Identifying Personas & Their Needs
  • One of the most important things you can do as a home designer is have clarity on who your ideal client is - this person is referred to as a persona.If you don't have this, think of your favorite client. Who is this person, what is their style, their personality, age, hobbies, location, profession? What about their interests, or what they do in their free time?Identifying personas will help you: Uncover and understand their needs, Create service and product offerings they want to buy, Craft a messaging and marketing strategy to attract more of them, and sell more work!
How to Handle Common Sales Objections
  • Have you ever dealt with any of the following sales objections? "...I can't afford your services." "...I don't have enough time right now." "...I need to talk to _____." "...I'm not ready yet." Or just no response at all? These common objections can be frustrating and demotivating. What if you had the tools to overcome these objections easier and faster? In this workshop, Debra will discuss common objections and strategies for handling and overcoming them. You'll leave with a resource of techniques to handle your next objection with success.
How to Differentiate & Communicate Your Offering
  • Not all designers are cut from the same stone. Each has a different style, unique ability, approach to processes, personality, values, and so much more.If you're not communicating the true value of your business and services / products in your messaging and marketing, you can't expect leads to understand either. In our next workshop, Debra will be talking about how to differentiate your offering based on what makes you and your services / products stand out and how to communicate that so you can bring on more ideal clients.
How to Build Trust for Your Business
  • When someone is looking to purchase from a business, one of the most important factors is trust.As a home designer, your customers are not only paying you money, but they're inviting you into a very personal part of their life.
