Ever wonder why some stagers seem to effortlessly attract high-end real estate agents while others struggle to get noticed? Or why certain staging businesses explode with growth while others stay stuck in the same patterns year after year?

Meet Marianne Cherico, a personal and professional development coach  for home stagers with 27 years in real estate and nearly two decades of staging under her belt. In this episode, Marianne pulls back the curtain on everything from developing your signature style that gets you remembered, to the exact messaging that makes agents see you as their secret weapon for winning listings. She shares real stories from her coaching clients who've gone from zero to spanning multiple states, and why she actually wants her clients to hear "no" 50% of the time.

This conversation is packed with those "aha" moments that make you want to immediately revamp your entire approach to working with clients and agents. Marianne did not just talk theory. Like she always does, she gives  the specific language, mindset shifts, and strategic moves that transform stagers from order-takers to indispensable business partners.

 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• How to shift from competition to collaboration with other stagers and build a network that lifts everyone up

• Why pricing yourself so 50% of your clients say no is actually the goal,
