Design Professionals “You gave me the confidence to charge significantly higher fees. I loved how you helped me see the light on the importance of self promotion, and how you gave me a targeted game plan. Every designer would do themselves a great service by investing in your coaching. I’d be the first to tell them: ‘Fred is the Best!'” Sandra von Kampen
"Signing up for your coaching as the best investment I've eber made in my business. You are a gift to me. Thanks to you, I'm taking charge of my business. You've given me a new lease on life. I can't thank you enough. You have given me back the excitement and hope I once had." Those are the kinds of questions I explore in my customized coaching programs with designers, architects, window fashion specialists, kitchen and bath pros and other design professionals. My telephone and on-site coaching programs are intended to help design pros dramatically increase their sales and profits, and exceed their financial and other goals. Coaching options include: + Long term mentoring programs + Coach-on-Call service + Individual consultation sessions The coaching focuses on the kind of bottom-line business, sales and marketing topics that they don’t teach in design school. Topics like turning single sales into long term relationships. And earning more and working less. And doing million dollar marketing on a shoestring budget. And creating marketing, sales and business plans. I share the strategies, business models, time management shortcuts and “common denominators” for success used by the most prosperous design professionals I’ve worked with the past 17 years. Industry Partners How to gain and maintain stronger partnerships with design professionals, substantially increase “trade” as well as consumer traffic, build a “buzz” in the design community – those are among the topics on which I coach manufacturers, retailers and showrooms. I share insights and “how-to’s” gathered through extensive research on trade and retail outlets that are the most successful in serving the design community. I consult with organizations looking to expand their “to the trade” business – and others seeking to establish such business Coaching options include: + Long term mentoring programs + Coach-on-Call service + Individual consultation sessions Coaching clients learn how to: + create excitement in the design community + devise a “brand” and stand out in the marketplace + maintain a reputation for extraordinary customer service + nurture long term relationships with high end design firms + substantially increase the impact of their websites + communicate most effectively with current and ex-customers + attract new clients with high impact marketing + connect with successful independent design pros + get quoted and promoted in trade and other media + get invited to speak at industry events + utilize local and regional road rep programs + use focus groups and advisory boards to increase sales |
