The new year brings a sense of excitement and opportunity for growth in our businesses. As we leave behind the challenges of the past year, it’s the perfect time to set our sights on new goals and strategies. One area that many designers overlook when it comes to profitability is purchasing. In this blog post, I will share some insights from my coaching program and show you how to make purchasing more profitable in your design business.

The Power of Streamlining Processes

One designer in my coaching program had a huge purchasing project coming up and wanted to streamline their processes to ensure success. We started by looking at their charging structure and realized that they weren’t making enough money. By changing how they charged and incorporating a whole new profit center for their business, they were able to make a significant difference in their bottom line. This designer is now better prepared than ever for their upcoming project.

Shifting Focus to Wholesale Purchasing

Another designer in the program wanted to incorporate less retail purchasing and more wholesale purchasing into their business. However, they were feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. Through one-on-one coaching, we discovered that this designer had a strong understanding of their ideal client and just needed guidance on how to focus and serve them best. By clearly defining their ideal client and adjusting their pricing strategy, this designer was able to make a profitable shift towards wholesale purchasing.

Boosting Confidence in the Sales Process

Sometimes, it’s not just the purchasing process itself that can be challenging, but also the sales process that follows. One designer in the program had the skills to provide excellent interior design services but struggled with the exact steps and process of selling to clients. Through personalized coaching, we reaffirmed her confidence in her abilities and provided her with insights into the purchase journey, from selection to delivery and installation. This boosted her confidence and allowed her to offer a more comprehensive and professional service to her clients.
