Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!!! Odds are that you’re chowing down on turkey, hugging family and watching football instead of listening to any business podcasts today…I’m so jealous :)
For the rest of us, we’ve got 3 exceptional podcasts to share today.
Today’s collection comes from some of my favorite hosts Jason Lockhart, Mirjam Lippuner, Maria Martin, Kate Bendewald and Rebecca Hay.
Today’s sole podcast guest is Duane Becker - founder of SaPré Training, a leading provider of sales and presentation training tailored specifically for Kitchen and Bath professionals. Duane is a great guest and brings full value to the discussion in today’s Designer Discussions episode.
So much good advice for improving your interior design business.

Flexible Planning = Interior Design Business Success
Flexible Planning = Interior Design Business Success
Today’s crop of interior design business podcasts has got me 100% excited.
Coming from 4 different people with different personalities & approaches to business success - Marc Müskens, Erin Weir, Desi Creswell and Darla Powell - all 4 episodes highlight my belief that interior design business success requires two things:
A plan, process, guiding philosophy, etc. Your business needs structure. Boring but true.
Within that structure, you have to be flexible. Life is going to hand you opportunities and if you are unable to pivot, you will miss them.
Balancing structure & flexibility isn’t an easy task, but if you can do it…the sky is the limit for your interior design business.
So much good stuff from today’s podcast guests Kathryn Greeley, Isabella Patrick and Cheryl Luckett.
Enjoy :)

This Is The Perfect Time to Renovate Your Interior Design Business
This Is The Perfect Time to Renovate Your Interior Design Business
As luxury service providers, residential interior designers are seeing the end result of today’s economic concern/fear/panic/dread being reflected in our businesses. Whether it’s higher interest rates or fear of a recession, homeowners are pulling back on home renovations.
Sure, ultra-rich clients - Sylvester Stallone - are renovating their mansions with their ultra-rich designers - Martyn Bullard - but for the rest of us - Robb & Company…something hinky is going on.
Which makes this the perfect time to take a good hard look at our businesses and look for ways to level up what we’re offering to our clients AND make our businesses more resilient & profitable.

Why do most interior designers suck at sales?
Why do most interior designers suck at sales?
It’s not just interior designers…most creatives suck at selling. Some believe it’s the combination of natural “creative” personality traits + a lack of confidence + an inability to set boundaries + an education that virtually ignores the business side of interior design.
In today’s A Well-Designed Business podcast, host LuAnn Nigara & her guest Matthew Finlin, CEO of The Human Potential Academy dive deep into why most interior designers suck at sales :(
