Resilient by Design with Rebecca Hay

250. How to Handle Budget Conversations with Design Clients


Listen Later

This is a MUST-listen episode, especially for all those interested (or intimidated) by money talk and budget conversations! Nikki Fisher is a seasoned design firm owner who got her start working in the millwork arena, which truly helped her run her own interior design business successfully over the past decade.

Nikki candidly shares her battle with imposter syndrome, transferring her skills from one niche to another, and the one question she asks at every single discovery call to ensure all expectations are set for each client. 

Her expanded approach to budget will seriously blow your mind! Nikki concentrates on deep listening and observation, communication, and education as she works with clients to establish their budgets and to ensure that each client feels heard and understood above anything else.

Nikki does not allow her dedication to her clients to comprise her values and boundaries as she strives to find the tricky balance to helping people while maintaining a hard line between budget and process. She also shares why she signed up for POP even though she is a seasoned professional and reiterates her beliefs in her incredibly motivational nugget of wisdom! This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
