Description
In this solo episode, I explain why saying “No” to requests for free interior design advice is essential for the success of your business. This is often something new designers encounter as they begin letting people know what they do, and sometimes it can be hard to say no. I talk about valuing yourself and your expertise, and why free advice can have a negative impact on both you and the client. I also give tips on how to handle requests for free advice gracefully.Featured in this EpisodeFeatured candle: Beeswax candle from Mithras CandleFeatured deck: Animal Spirit Deck by Kim KransAre you an interior designer or are you interested in Holistic Interior Design?
