High Point Market 2022 October

Hi, Melissa here!

I’m so excited for HPMKT and I’d love to see you at any of these events, where I’ll be speaking on multiple topics, hosting meetups & book signings, and even leading a chauffeured tour.

If sourcing the right product at the least cost is running you in circles, this is the tour for you. Melissa will introduce you to exceptional sources that protect the trade and aren’t the usual suspects. From custom upholstery to crafted case goods, original art to luxury bedding, and everything in between. You’ll also get Melissa’s proprietary Sourcing System™ that will get you the expert help you need without hiring or managing anyone, proven to save you countless hours and find the best product. And she’ll provide her BONUS list of 40 Favorite Vendors you can’t live without.

Escape the trap of hourly fees, under invoicing, and hours lost in tracking your design time, make the shift to flat fees for higher profits. And, best of all, you’ll learn how to do it while protecting yourself from scope creep and client add-ons.

Melissa will show you four proven formulas to calculate flat fees, when to use each one and why. Whether you’re working on complex remodels, new construction, design and decorate by the room or a combination of these, there’s a method that will work. It’s simple, smart and what the top designers are doing today to earn more in less time and gain the trust of clients with transparency.

Affluent clients are often buffered from economic shifts and will continue to invest in design regardless of the state of the economy. Whether you want to focus exclusively on this channel, or make it one of your primary ideal client avatars, now is the perfect time to hone in on this client and position yourself to thrive in uncertain times. You’ll learn the details of how to meet these ideal clients, what they’re looking for, and how to capture their design investment for larger projects.
