Fred Berns is among the biggest names in the business of interior design.  He’s the only sales and marketing coach and speaker who trains design professionals worldwide how to substantially increase sales and profits.

He speaks to and consults with design pros from Dallas to Dubai on how to close more sales, set and get higher fees, get better clients and bigger projects, promote themselves more effectively, and build their businesses in other ways.

He also trains manufacturers, retailers, design centers and showrooms on how to create a “buzz,” build traffic and increase sales to design professionals. And, he delivers programs on behalf of manufacturers for their clients.

Berns presents sales and marketing programs at design centers, marts and conferences around the world.  His presentations at the IFI conference and at the INDEX show in Dubai this Fall are the latest additions to his international speaking experience.  He has been a featured presenter at the International Window Coverings Expo; Neocon events; the High Point Market; Surfaces; design symposiums; home and design expos; furniture, gift and accessory shows; and national conferences of such groups as ASID, NKBA, and IFDA. He has also worked with several national home interior franchise organizations.

In addition, Berns presents sales and marketing tele-seminars and webinars which are attended, and/or downloaded by design professionals throughout North America and the world.

His  blog, InteriorDesignBusiness.net, and his BusinessbyDesign newsletter reach  thousands of design professionals around the world. He also regularly writes for a variety of design trade publications. 

The Superstar Selling System for Design Professionals, Berns’ audio training program, is the latest in a series of business-building tools he has developed for the design industry. His other audio programs cover topics like setting and getting higher fees, overcoming price objections and high impact, low cost marketing.

He’s the author of one book, "Sell Yourself! 501 Ways to Get Them to Buy from YOU," and the co-author of two others.

Berns launched his speaking career for the design trade after working in journalism for 25 years.  He founded the Berns Bureau, and helped it become one of Washington's largest and longest-established independent news service.
