ANNOUNCING A BRAND

NEW

FIVE SESSION WORKSHOP DESIGNED

SPECIFICALLY FOR THE INTERIOR DESIGN INDUSTRY

“WEAVING SOCIAL MEDIA

INTO YOUR

INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS”

DESIGNED BY AND FOR THE INTERIOR DESIGN INDUSTRY

June 14, 2011 through July 19, 2011 (5 week program)

Here’s a HARD, COLD fact!  If you don’t market your business,

you will NOT get any  business!

In the past we have spent our time and money on traditional techniques like ads, brochures, postcards, letters, calls and the hope we will get referrals as a way to promote our Interior Design Business and get more clients.

But what are you leaving  on the table with these traditional techniques? Do you even know?  Probably not because there is no way to TRULY measure your results.

So how can you now spend less money, the same or possibly LESS time with far better, more focused and MEASURABLE results?

SOCIAL MEDIA – LET ME SHOW YOU HOW, RIGHT NOW!

Don’t be afraid, I did it!

If you have heard about Social Media but do not know where to begin, I know exactly how to help you to have your  business flourish in 2011!

 

 

I spent an entire year diving into Social Media with no strategy. Even paid for courses in Social Media from some of the best experts, but no one had the knowledge of OUR Interior Design Industry.

Results? Poor (D-) Not a good return on the investment of my time, energy and resources. I still felt overwhelmed, did not see much progress getting to my core target market and finally ended up with Social Media burnout and stopped completely!

I DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU AND I NOW SEE, FIRST HAND HOW POWERFUL SOCIAL MEDIA IS FOR BUSINESS IF DONE WITH THE RIGHT STRATEGY.

Results?  Great!  (A+)

  •  I was asked to write a chapter for a book from using keywords on my blog.
  • Got two meetings with potential clients from Linkedin.
  • Got a speaking engagement from a design center from Twitter!

And now we want to do this for you!

I know precisely how to help you flourish in 2011! We are going to teach you EXACTLY how to position yourself so that clients will begin to FIND YOU instead of you vying for attention in a sea of other interior designers.

THIS ECONOMY HAS MADE DOING “BUSINESS AS USUAL”  NOT WORK ANYMORE!  WE WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO INCORPORATE  NEW BUSINESS STRATEGIES TO GET YOU RESULTS IN ANY ECONOMY.

 And Social Media is going to be an important PIECE OF THE BUSINESS PUZZLE that every person in the design industry needs to incorporate and understand its importance in the holistic business approach.

For almost 30 years I have been helping businesses in the Interior Design Industry figure out ways they can gain more market-share in ANY economy.  I now want to offer YOU the same exact strategies I use so that you will be able to benefit in the same way my clients have.

REMEMBER,THE ECONOMY IS PROBLEMATIC NOT THE PROBLEM!  JUST LOOK AT THIS:

“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 and core strategies of business, and  she was able to turn around an ailing company and make it a profitable one in a very difficult economic time. She did this with hard work, humor and knowledge  essential elements of success in business”.

Ellie Karanauskas (former VP of Sales – Larsen & Associates/Current Regional Director Pollack & Associates)

 

How did I do that?  It’s ALL ABOUT RETURN ON INVESTMENT.  Using your resources wisely so you can have business in ANY economy!  That’s how I did it!

“Deborah’s input was remarkable for my business.  I learned to let go of my old ideas and approach my clients with an “expert” attitude.  Becoming a perceived expert around the products I sell puts me steps ahead of my competing vendors and instills a subtle confidence in the minds of my clients.  She also taught me how ~ Time really is money.   Deborah’s seminar was indeed thought provoking and instrumental in the way I conduct business.  She really does have this down to a science”
Tamara Honza/Honza Group-Independent Representative
