PRESENTS
Not ready to do The Design Paradigm annual experience? Want to start with a big, yet important dip into the pool?
We are listening and offering a chance to dive into the business model you have heard so much about! This is the first phase of The Design Paradigm annual program.
A 4 Month Interior Design Business Strategy and Coaching Program
on what you need NOW
A focus on core components to a successful business model, value creation and how to SELL it to the client as a win/win!
Running a design firm, or any small business for that matter, is not a one size fits all wrapped up in a pretty bow. I teach a complete business model --not a "thing" you do for your business. This will set you up for sustainable growth.
Live workshops, video training, deliverables and access to Cheryl and Liz for questions. We are offering this section of The Design Paradigm as a stand alone for fast tracking to profit.
YES! I am in!
"EVERYTHING CHANGED AFTER WORKING WITH CHERYL! I FEEL I HAVE A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS NOW!"
She looked at everything in my business and she knew exactly where it should be going and that really helped. I don't love the hand holding, I want someone that will actually tell me the truth! And she doesn't hold back and says whatever she needs to say.

COACHING CLIENT
DELIVERING A WIN WIN FOR YOUR CLIENT--AND YOU!
Show me the money! A business model for contrarions and non-conformists.
This is the Business Model that transforms your business into a growth machine. We are going to reinvent and build the framework for your design firm.
You may have heard about the minimum expenditure from another designer--but here you can learn from the designer and entrepreneur who built this as a foundation to ride the roller coaster of the ever-changing industry.
But this program is so much more than simply a new way of thinking about business. You will learn more than you have since you began working.
WE TEACH HOW TO RUN A PROFITABLE BUSINESS. THAT IS THE SHORT TRUTH. ASK PEOPLE WHO HAVE WORKED WITH US.
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
This is not theory. This is not about how to do “design”. It is not about how to dodge questions from clients or hide photos because you are worried they will shop you. There is no need for subterfuge with this business model.
We welcome the questions.
We welcome the scrutiny.
This only enhances a strong firm.
When you have a project pricing business model based on the value you will deliver to the client, you do not need to worry about questions. You HAVE the answers.
What's in it for you?
Projecting Profit- Flat fees and the minimum expenditure and how to sell it, how to put it under contract and why this is a game changer.
Upleveling your process-Our signature scope of work and fee proposal with all the verbiage you need
Mastering the optimum consultative sale- Making your interactions with clients a WIN /WIN is how we make selling the value a natural response
Understand why the financial set up matters- Why it is important how you set up your books so you can see how you are doing simply and easily
Goal setting- Learn to set your goals with my specific methods and calculator to determine your capacity and what you need to charge in fees, product sales or a combination of both. When complete you will know what you can take on.
TAKE THE STEP NOW TO LEARN WHAT IS AN ADVANCED LEVEL OF BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE FROM THE MASTER OF HOW TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE GROWTH ORIENTED BUSINESS.
We are a multi faceted coaching program with many ways to get involved!

THE CONTENT YOU DELIVER IS SO COMPREHENSIVE, AND I AM IN TOTAL AWE OF THE DETAILS!!!
"I received two signed contracts on the same day and you helped me with both proposals! The flat fees combined are $31,000 with minimum expenditures of $130,000 plus project management! I so appreciate the passion, enthusiasm, wisdom, time and energy you are putting into this incredible and amazing program."

PRICING MINDSET WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS OF MY YEAR!
"The Design Paradigm graduate here and my pricing mindset was one of the the biggest takeaways of my year, but it's supported by all the other trainings, marketing to my ideal clients, the discovery call to sell the paid home consult, amazing home consults diagnosing the project and following it with gorgeous and inspiring and clear but detail visual scope of work (no boring contract language) has led me to the highest fixed fees ever, commitment to very high minimum expenditures with my company, clients excited because of my professionalism, passion and clarity of my process and for me falling back in love with my business."

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE REEVALUATING EVERY ASPECT OF MY BUSINESS BUT I AM!
"I have done proposals in the past but NEVER like this!! I love the idea that the flat fee visual scope of work is consistent with our design aesthetic…it makes so much sense and am working on the templates to make it my own!"
