38: Difficult Clients & Difficult Conversations with Valerie Darden
Welcome to an interview episode of The Designer Within with Valerie Darden.
Valerie founded Brexton Cole Interiors in 2014. As the founder, Valerie named her company after her two sons Brexton and Cole. Brexton Cole Interiors have completed multiple residential and commercial design projects all over the US.
Ya'll know me and I love to find out the nitty gritty of the BTS of business operations and the thought process of design, and Valerie delivers!
In this very insightful and informative episode we discuss:
* Client Red Flags: How to notice them and how to deal with them
* Valerie's not-so-great situations with some clients and how her business procedures saved the day
* Valerie and I chat about the importance of transparency and when it perhaps might be "too much" for clients
* Valerie has a brand new book out this fall called "Beautiful Living" and we will talk all about they what, why, and how of her book publishing journey.
