A business that isn’t built with intention doesn’t scale. It spins its wheels. It stays stuck. It survives, but by a thread.

Before you can charge more, streamline your workload, or start saying no to the wrong clients (while getting paid more by the right ones), you need a foundation that works for you. One that gives you clarity, direction, and control over your business.

That’s what we build in the DTS Method.

Inside this module, you’ll:

🔹 Clarify your North Star. No more winging it. No more just seeing where things go. You’ll define exactly what your interior design business should look like—the clients, the projects, the way your workdays actually feel—and set it in motion.

🔹 Reverse-engineer your success. Big goals don’t just happen. They’re built one intentional, strategic step at a time. You’ll break yours down so you always know exactly what to focus on next.

🔹 Establish boundaries that protect your time, energy, and creativity. Because without them, you’ll be answering client texts at 9 p.m., over-delivering on projects that don’t serve you, and working twice as hard for half the return.

🔹 Design your ideal workweek. Not a generic schedule. Not a routine that works for someone else. A structure designed around you and your family (hi summer slowdowns!) so you can stay in control, get more done, and enjoy the freedom and flexibility you crave.

This isn’t about busyness. This is about stepping into the CEO role and setting your business up to scale correctly from the start.

The difference between a profitable design business and a stressful, underpaid one?

A strategic, high-value service menu that works for you.

No more guessing at pricing. No more offering everything and hoping something sticks. No more scope creep that turns small projects into unpaid overtime.

Inside this module, you’ll:

🖊 Build a service menu that attracts high-value clients. You’ll design a suite of offers that align with your strengths, position you as an expert, and eliminate the "can you just..." scope creep requests.

📌 Get crystal clear on deliverables, timelines, and your ideal client. Because when your process is defined before the inquiry, you stop bending to fit every client—and start attracting the ones who respect your expertise.

💰 Price your services (and furnishings) for profit—every time. No back-of-the-napkin math. No second-guessing. No starting from zero every time. You’ll walk away with a pricing model designed to ensure every project is profitable.

🎯 Set expectations so clearly that clients don’t question them. From scope to timelines, you’ll learn how to communicate exactly what’s included, making approvals faster, projects smoother, and payments more predictable.

Because when your service structure is dialed in, selling isn’t a struggle. Clients say yes faster. Timelines stay on track. And your design business runs like a business—not an expensive hobby.

If you can’t sell, you don’t have a business.

Not a thriving one. Not a predictable one. Not one that grows on its own.

Selling isn’t just part of your business—it is your business. And if your process isn’t airtight, you’ll keep second-guessing your prices, stumbling through discovery calls, and wondering why dream clients disappear before signing the contract.

That stops here.

Inside this module, you’ll:

🖊 Run discovery calls that convert. No more “Did I say the right thing?” spirals. You’ll lead with confidence, position your expertise, and handle objections like a pro—without awkward silences or last-minute discounts.

📌 Set your capacity with intention. Overbooked? Underpaid? Burnt out? That ends now. You’ll get crystal clear on how to schedule your projects so your time, energy, and revenue are fully protected.

💰 Scope, price, and invoice with ease. No more guesswork. No more last-minute number crunching. You’ll have a seamless pricing and scoping system that earns trust, buy-in, and on time payments.

🎯 Book out your pipeline. You’ll stop chasing clients and start tracking, following up, and closing projects with ease.

Because this isn’t just about making sales. It’s about making sales effortless.

When your sales process is buttoned up, your business becomes predictable, profitable, and scalable.

Because a seamless onboarding process sets the tone for a smooth, successful project and instills so much trust in clients from day one.

A well-structured onboarding process isn’t just about getting paperwork signed. It’s about creating a client experience so dialed in, so effortless, that your clients feel immediately confident in their decision to hire you. In this module, you’ll:

📌 Design an onboarding process that feels high-touch and effortless. From the first “yes” to project kickoff, your clients will feel so well taken care of (which will make your life way easier).

📝 Know exactly what to send, when to send it. You’ll create a plug-and-play communication plan with welcome emails, prep materials, and key documents—so there’s no second-guessing what happens next.

🚫 Avoid the onboarding mistakes that cause delays, miscommunication, and revisions. Because no one wants to start a project already putting out fires.

💰 Master the client budget conversation. Learn how to prepare a budget with confidence (no more vague estimates), set expectations upfront, and actually stick to it—so you protect your profit margin.

Because the way a project starts determines how it flows. Nail your onboarding, and you’ll create a process that feels elevated, exciting, and professional—every single time.

A seamless creative process and elevated design presentation lead to happier clients, smoother projects, and fewer revisions.

Your designs are AMAZING—but if your presentation, revision process, and expectations aren’t airtight, you’ll spend way too much time fielding back-and-forth emails, reworking designs, and managing unrealistic requests. In this module, you’ll learn how to:

🎤 Present your designs with confidence and clarity. Know exactly how to walk clients through your vision so they feel excited, aligned, and ready to move forward—without hesitation.

🚦 Uncover what’s actually slowing down client decisions. Whether it’s uncertainty, overwhelm, or hidden objections, you’ll learn how to identify and eliminate delays before they derail your timeline.

📝 Master the revision process. Set clear expectations, manage changes with ease, and keep projects moving forward—so revisions don’t spiral into endless tweaks.

🚧 Avoid unrealistic client expectations. Learn how to set the tone from the start, communicate boundaries with confidence, and prevent the “just one more change” cycle before it starts.

Because when you nail this phase, your designs will get approved faster, revisions will go way down, and projects will move forward exactly the way they should.

Because a well-managed project means fewer surprises, happier clients, and a seamless install day.

A beautiful design is just the beginning—execution is everything. Without a strong project management system, timelines stretch, vendors drop the ball, and you end up fixing problems that aren’t yours to handle. In this module, you’ll:

🖥 Choose the right design management software for your business. Because the right tools save you time, streamline communication, and keep your projects organized (instead of scattered across emails and sticky notes).

📌 Find, build, and track vendor relationships with ease. Learn how to source reliable vendors, create long-term partnerships, and keep everything running smoothly—so you’re never scrambling for a last-minute solution.

🚧 Know what is (and isn’t) your responsibility during construction. So you’re not micromanaging contractors, dealing with issues outside your scope, or spending unpaid hours fixing other people’s mistakes.

💰 Structure your pricing to cover all the post-design work. Learn exactly how to charge for your time during procurement, construction, and final install—so you’re not giving away project management services for free.

📦 Ensure installation day is smooth, seamless, and stress-free. With the right prep, schedule, and vendor coordination, you’ll create a process that makes every install feel effortless.

Because designing is only like 10% of the job—the real magic happens in the execution. When your project management is dialed in, you stay in control, your clients stay happy, and your installs go off without a hitch.

Because the way a project ends is just as important as how it begins. Don’t let your projects fizzle out at the end.

A smooth offboarding process doesn’t just wrap up a project - it sets the stage for glowing testimonials, repeat business, and referrals that bring in more dream clients. In this module, you’ll:

✅ Follow a step-by-step offboarding process. Know exactly how to wrap up a project the right way—without missing key details or making common mistakes that can leave clients feeling unsure about the final steps.

📝 Ask for testimonials and referrals without feeling awkward. You’ll learn how to naturally and confidently request feedback that turns into powerful marketing assets—without sounding pushy.

📊 Review and analyze your project’s performance. Learn how to evaluate what worked, what didn’t, and how to refine your process for even smoother, more profitable projects moving forward.

Offboarding isn’t just about tying up loose ends. It’s about creating an experience so seamless that clients can’t wait to work with you again and send their friends your way.

Sorry to say, but posting randomly on Instagram isn’t a marketing strategy.

And I’m not saying that because I think you should post more or start filming Reels. Nope.

A solid marketing strategy is about showing up with purpose, saying the right things, and building visibility with the people who already want what you do best.

In this module, we’ll simplify how you show up and make it work for you while you sleep (FTW):

✅ Choose your platforms with purpose.
No more chasing trends or burning out on content. You’ll pinpoint the marketing channels that actually bring good inquiries and say BYEEEE to the rest.

🔍 Make SEO your silent sales partner.
You’ll learn that SEO isn’t some complicated, hire-a-$15K-expert situation. In less than 10 minutes, you can fix yours so you actually show up when dream clients are searching for you.

💡 Define what sets you apart.
We’ll help you clarify your unique selling proposition so you don’t get lost in the sea of sameness … or beat out by a newbie designer with an AI portfolio and zero real experience. 🫠🫠🫠
