Do you dread talking about money with your clients? 

In this episode of Interior Design Business, I’m diving into the challenges designers face when they avoid money conversations—and how it can hurt your business, projects, and client relationships.

I’ll share why skipping the budget talk early on leads to mismatched expectations, wasted time, and lost profitability. Plus, you’ll learn practical strategies to confidently discuss costs and set clear boundaries with clients, ensuring smoother projects and better outcomes for everyone involved.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The hidden costs of avoiding money conversations
  • How to address common client objections about budgets
  • Strategies for discussing costs without feeling pushy
  • Using a “Budget on the Fly” approach to streamline discussions
  • How clear money conversations lead to trust and project success

If you’ve ever struggled with discussing money, this episode is packed with insights and actionable tips to help you approach these conversations with confidence and ease.
