What many might say they fear is:
- Thinking up company names & logos.
- Finances and banking arrangements.
- Setting up websites, brochures and company stationery.
Don't let the fear of these stop you from starting up your own Home Staging or Redesigning business.
Of course all the above are very important to your business however all can be tackled in your own timeframe or by others on your behalf.
The really difficult part of setting up and running a successful Home Staging or Redesign Business is:
- Marketing the business & getting enquiries.
- Setting up realistic fees and tarrifs.
- Dealing with real live client enquiries.
- Handling your initial consultations.
- Understanding when and how to close the deal.
- How to get clients to pay on time.
- How to avoid giving away your information over the phone or giving free estimates.
- How to set out realistic contracts.
- Subcontractors & tradesmen - who does what when and how are they paid.
Which Home Staging Business Course? How Do You Decide?
There are no shortages of companies offering Home Staging Business Courses that are aimed at anyone wishing to set up as a Professional Home Staging Consultant.
However if you're looking for a good course be sure that you are going to cover the vital subjects that will give you the knowledge to develop a successful business.
Many of these so called Home Staging Business Courses are little more than padded out Staging Technique courses that teach you more about the process of Home Staging but only scratch the surface of running and growing your business.
No Paying Customers = No Business!
Any entreupreneur will tell you that you don't have a business unless you have paying customers and you don't get paying customers by just being an expert in your field.
You need to understand the nuts and bolts of how to run a business.
Short of taking an MBA in business studies you need to ensure that anyone you consider taking a Home Staging Business Course with, knows all about the business you are in.
I get many calls and emails from people who have visited my website, property-coach.co.uk, who ask for my advice on how they can build their own business successfully.
I am delighted to offer my advice but in the end I tell them that there is only one course that I can truly recommend.
The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program
There's really only one course that I truly rate as worth taking and that's Debra Gould's Home Staging Business Program.
Debra is The Staging Diva and has been successfully teaching others how to set up and professionally run lucrative Home Staging Consultancies.
Based on her knowledge of running her own staging cunsultancy in Canada, Debra has developed a program designed specifically for those in the Home Staging Business.
As Debra Says
"I've developed The Staging Diva Program to give you the tools to really go for it in your own Home Staging or House Fluffing business! It's taken me 25 years to develop the marketing and business skills I share with my Staging Diva students... Plus they know I grew a Home Staging business myself from scratch."
Debra focusses on giving all her students a full business toolkit to prepare them for the real world of business as a professional Staging Consultant.
"Staging Diva Courses are not about how to decorate they're about how to start up and run a Home Staging Business, how to make money, how to do marketing, how to charge for your services"
These are all the necessary skills that you need if you are going to succeed and earn from your Home Staging Business.
Debra Gould offers inovative ways to learn too.
