1068: Power Talk Friday: Sandra Funk: How "Sleeping in Your Guest Room" Can Make You RICH

Today With Sandra Funk:

Today with Sandra Funk, we explore the transformative power of client experience in building a thriving interior design business. Sandra shares her pivotal "dark night of the soul" moment when three clients fired her in one day, and how this crisis became the catalyst for completely reimagining her approach to client relationships.

We dive into her philosophy of viewing client partnerships as "mini marriages" that require clear communication, boundaries, and emotional understanding throughout the design journey. Sandra reveals the specific strategies that have made House of Funk so successful, from surprise and delight moments to avoiding nickel-and-diming clients for small changes.

As The Interior Design Standard celebrates five years and 1,000 members, Sandra also shares exciting news about evolving her coaching program into a more intentional, curated community for serious designers who want to level up their businesses.

LuAnn Nigara and Sandra Funk’s Ah-Ha Moments:

“I started looking at it from the client’s point of view. How will it land for them instead of what works for me?” - Sandra Funk
