You were trained to design spaces.
Not to sell them.
Most interior designers are exceptional at their craft and find the sales conversation deeply uncomfortable. That disconnect is costing you clients, margin, and momentum.
-
You know you’re undercharging, but you don’t have the language to position your value in a way that holds under pressure.
-
When a client says “we need to think about it” or “that’s more than we expected,” you hesitate - or worse, discount.
-
Every pitch feels like starting from scratch. You’re winging conversations that should be predictable and winnable.
Do these sound familiar?
“The gap between a great designer and a thriving design business isn’t talent - it’s the ability to sell with confidence and intention.”
— Leona Coe
