The Top Client Facing Processes You Need in Your Interior Design Business
In order to successfully run a streamlined interior design business, it’s essential to have your client-facing processes nailed down. The corporate world often refers to processes as SOPS (Standard Operating Procedures), but most of my interior designers don’t–so I'll call them processes to keep it simple.
In this article, I share the top client facing processes you need to map out in your business, how to create standard operating procedures, and where I would start with your business if you hired me 1:1.
