Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Interior Design Business podcast, I’m discussing why design fees are a smarter choice than hourly billing for designers who want to grow their income and client satisfaction. If you’re still charging by the hour, you may be leaving money on the table and running into unnecessary challenges.I’ll share insights on how hourly billing can hold experienced designers back, lead to cash flow issues, and even create friction with clients. We’ll explore the advantages of design fees, from improving cash flow to setting clear project expectations, and how shifting to fee-based agreements can lead to more profitable, trusting client relationships. Plus, I invite you to join the Design Fee Formula masterclass to refine your pricing strategy and set yourself up for consistent success.In this episode, I cover:Why hourly billing often undervalues experienced designersThe cash flow and trust issues that time billing can createHow design fees offer a structured, profitable approachBenefits of fee-based agreements for client relationshipsInvitation to the Design Fee Formula masterclassIf you’re ready to improve your pricing strategy, build trust with clients, and get paid what you’re worth, this episode is for you!I would love to connect on Facebook: facebook.com/InteriorDesignBusinessAcademy or Instagram: instagram.com/interiordesignbusinessacademy!Show notes are available at https://interiordesignbusinessacademy.com.
