How to Up-Level Your Clients

Are you busy… but not profitable?
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m addressing one of the biggest frustrations I hear from designers: “I’m slammed with work, but it’s not the work I want.” If your calendar is full of small jobs, your evenings are booked, and you still don’t feel financially stable, this episode is your wake-up call.
I’m breaking down exactly why little “quick” projects drain your time, energy, and profit, and how they prevent you from attracting higher-end clients. You’ll learn how to calculate your true minimum design fee, set a minimum product budget, and confidently communicate those numbers during your discovery call.
If you’re ready to stop shrinking to fit small budgets and start building a business that actually supports your life, this episode will show you how.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why being busy doesn’t mean being profitable
- The hidden cost of “quick” design jobs
- How small projects sabotage your growth
- The tree analogy for scaling your design business
- How to calculate your minimum design fee
- Why 23 hours is your true baseline per project
- Setting a minimum product budget
- How to communicate minimums on a discovery call
- How to let clients self-select out gracefully
- Why boundaries increase respect and revenue
