Ashley Pate

I now have a design business that’s more professional, and with my increased confidence in pricing … my fees have increased as well!
Background
My business structure felt haphazard, and I was looking for a repeatable way to bring clients into my business and to be more profitable. I knew it was important to have systems in place for my business – from first phone call to getting payment, pricing products to scheduling out the job.
Working with Interior Design Business Academy
I joined Good Clients Great Money GOLD Mastermind after attending one of Terri’s live CEU events at the Robert Allen Showroom in Dallas, and investing in the Designing for Dollars Home Study training Program.
I quickly realized that charging hourly was contributing greatly to my business problems and once I started charging fees, I had so much more confidence for pricing and presenting it to a client.
Results
IDBA helped me grow my self-assurance by showing me how to present a very clear picture of a design job – it’s made the processes easier for me and my clients are impressed with my presentations and systems too.
I now have a design business that’s more professional, and with my increased confidence in pricing … my fees have increased as well.
Investing in IDBA was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business and I plan to continue into IDBA PREMIER Mastermind to up level my clients and business even more!
