Boundaries and Pricing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're discounting product to get the job, it's not a pricing problem, it’s a boundaries problem.
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I'm diving into the real reasons designers give away profits, time, and authority, and how to reclaim all three. Whether it’s sharing trade discounts, undercharging on product, or trying to “be nice,” I’ll show you why those strategies backfire and what to do instead.
If you’ve ever felt undervalued, overworked, or unsure how to stand firm on pricing, this episode is your wake-up call.
In this episode, I cover:
- The most common boundary leaks around product pricing
- Why sharing your trade discount devalues your expertise
- The difference between designing and purchasing, and why they must be separated
- Why “procurement fees” don’t work and what to do instead
- A journaling exercise that helps identify your biggest boundary issues
- How to stop people-pleasing and start leading with confidence
