I'm Melissa Galt,

YOUR NO-BS INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS COACH, SAVVY MARKETING STRATEGIST, SYSTEMS SPECIALIST, AND WORD WIZARD.

When you have a hard time saying "no" and your schedule looks like a hot mess, I help you focus on the right things to hit your revenue goals and design the business you want.

It's absolutely possible to build a thriving interior design practice and still have the freedom to spend quality time with your family and friends (or indulge in design buying trips, if you're like me). I should know because I did it!

Now I'm sharing my hard-won business knowledge and marketing savvy with you.

✅Precise DESIGN DELIVERABLES are your profit pro ✅Precise DESIGN DELIVERABLES are your profit protection when it comes to value based fee projects (aka flat fee). 

It’s critical that you put a number limiter in front of every deliverable, so your client cannot ask for more without a change order and additional fees. 

In fact, the crucial phrase that PROTECTS YOU FROM SCOPE CREEP ON FLAT FEES is, “additions and changes require a change order and additional fees.”💯

Notice it does not say “additional hours.”⏰When working with flat fees, you must eliminate any mention or reference to hourly to maintain fee integrity.
