BRAND NEW: Grow your design business 12 week intensive group consulting workshop

Attention: Interior Designers, Showrooms, Product Companies, Sales People.

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO RUN AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS IN ANY ECONOMY!

In this economy, we do not have the time it took me to learn all the aspects of running a successful and profitable interior design business. I have made a living for over 25 years turning around ailing companies to soar beyond their desires. Don’t believe me? Take a look!

“Having hired and worked with Deborah for her role of Mid West Regional Sales Director for Larsen, I cannot say enough about her good qualifications, and great success in this position.Because she so well understood the product, sales and the dynamics of managing both staff, clientele and business, she was able to turn around an ailing organization, and make it a profitable one in very tough economic times. She did this with knowledge, hard work and humor, essential elements of success in business.”Ellie Karanauskas (former VP of Sales – Larsen & Associates/current Regional Director Pollack & Associates)

I have been deep-rooted in all aspects of the Interior Design business for over 25+ years and have, first hand, learned the techniques that work in any economy to grow your business.

IN THIS PROGRAM, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LEARN THEORIES, THESE ARE ACTUAL TECHNIQUES I HAVE USED AND NOW I WANT TO TEACH THEM TO YOU.

For the first time I am taking my more costly one-on-one consulting methods I have used to grow companies in the interior design industry and offering these same techniques to you in an easy, affordable and structured system you can begin to apply immediately :

INSIDER STRATEGIES TO GROW YOUR DESIGN BUSINESS 12 WEEK INTENSIVE GROUP CONSULTING WORKSHOP

Many workshops do not have leaders with the extensive industry experience as I have running their workshops. If they do, they charge 4 – 5 times more than I am charging for the same kind of information. Having over 25+ years experience building companies IN the interior design industry, I am now ready to share these same techniques with you and I personally write, record and LEAD each and every session.

This is a STEP by STEP blueprint that you will be able to apply now and years from now to have a strong business foundation that will weather all economies as all of my clients have.

This system will enable you to become:

More focused on getting and keeping clients.
An expert who has new ways to dig deeper, not wider to allow your client base to grow with less hardship on your resources.
Have your clients become your salespeople.
A valued partner with your clients instead of competing with other designers.
A designer who charges what you DESERVE, not what you think the client will pay.

Price is only an issue when value is a mystery!

A business with a strong strategy that will provide profitability, not just going from day to day or feast to famine.
Understand about ROI (return on investment) so that your precious resources are used wisely .

Here are some comments from people who have taken my workshops:

“Thank you for another great seminar via the Chicago Design Team. Important information and well organized.” Debra Congram, interior designer

“ I am enjoying and definitely profiting from your very informative workshops”. Dee Schlagel, Design Discovery

The best news is that to work with me one-on-one for this kind of information would start at $4,000.00. I wanted a way to offer my consulting with a much smaller financial commitment, yet deliberately keeping these groups very small so I could offer as much personal attention as possible.

So your part to have a sound business is an incredible small investment of $397.00/month.

You will begin to apply these techniques IMMEDIATELY to your current efforts to grow your business:

Weekly Workshops covering an essential subject per week.
Comprehensive workbook with all 12 steps and resources.
Weekly check in for accountability.
Monthly interviews with experts.
Downloads of all the classes and interviews.
Setting up mastermind groups.
Monthly Q&A session-ask ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HELP YOU MOVE FORWARD!

This workshop nomally sells for $397.00/month. If you sign up before May 30th you will only pay $347.00/month

I know after a disastrous year like 2009 it can feel like you are headed on a path that has no light at the end. I can promise you, there is! Sometimes even the thought of “what to do first” seems overwhelming. AND there is so much conflicting advise out there like:

“Describe your perfect client so you can be sure they’re right for you.”
“Get on twitter and you will find all the clients you want.”
“Facebook is the way to find clients.”
“Websites are a necessity, just get one up.”
Go to ALL the networking events you can to “get the word out.” “Go to small, industry events.” “Pay lots of money, the contacts are much better”.
and my favorite of all time…”Do whatever you need to do now in this economy.”

What do you believe? Where do you start? What do you do first for more business?

Have all these advisers turned around MULTIPLE companies? I have…and for the first time, I am offering these techniques to you so that you, too, can have a thriving business.

“I have a very good friend (ex co worker) that was at your seminar this week. She absolutely raved about you!! She insists that your 4 part workshop would be perfect for me and the direction I am looking to take my business”. Tina Laufter, interior designer

So why not sign up NOW for a special chance to really get a jump start for 2010! The only one who can grow your design business is YOU! But you DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT ALONE…or GUESS…I am here to support you through this process so that it makes good sense and is easy to apply.

Make sure to sign up now since I am keeping these very small and ”seating” will be limited. An investment of just $397.00/ $347.00/month if you sign up before May 30, 2011 will jump-start your business and build a strong foundation! All workshops must have minimum of 5 people.

This is an offer of THREE payments for $347.00!
