Interior Design Business

Budgets and Clients


Listen Later

What if I told you your client’s budget probably isn’t real?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m breaking down the truth behind client budgets—and why taking them at face value can lead to disaster. You’ll learn how to avoid the “design trap,” stop underquoting yourself, and lead with confidence (and real numbers).

If you’ve ever been caught in the middle of a project where the budget didn’t match the scope—or worse, where you became the “bad guy” for costing too much—this episode will change the way you do business.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why most client budgets are just guesses (and what to do instead)
  • The costly trap of selling too early
  • How to talk about money with confidence
  • A better way to scope projects and protect your time
  • Why Phase One Agreements save you time, stress, and money
