What’s the difference between a designer who thrives in business and one who doesn’t? It isn’t talent. It isn’t passion. It isn’t motivation. It’s simply the ability to commit and get things done.
In today’s episode, host LuAnn Nigara is joined by Antonio Deloatch Jr…one of those real action-takers—someone who LuAnn believes is going to be big and successful, not just as a designer, but at whatever he puts his mind to. It’s a combination of his outlook, his attitude, and his ability to put one foot in front of the other and make it happen. Today, he’s sharing his story and insights with us.

“There’s always good or bad in the era that you’re doing business. Just get over it, get on with it, and do business in your era.” - LuAnn Nigara

Business of Design - Client Intake & Experience with Porsche Williams - 29 min
An efficient and elevated client intake is a critical part of creating a superior client experience. Determining whether the client is ideal for you, requires your focused attention as you seek to answer the potential client’s questions and provide an overview of your firm’s unique value.
In this episode we learn:
the principal designer should not be the first person a prospective client speaks to
outsourcing client intake elevates your design firm's status and value to prospective clients
common red flags during the client intake
saying no to clients that aren't ideal allows you to say yes to clients that are ideal
always collect the consultation payment at the time of booking
