Ep #13 Mastering Visibility with Rachel Moriarty

So You Want to be an Interior Designer

Hey everyone!

It’s Adam Scougall of the So You Want to Be an Interior Designer podcast, and welcome to Season 2 and EPISODE 13. This show really is for mid-career aspiring interior design or decorating solopreneurs that need support in building their own interior design business whilst working 9 to 5.

My aim is to help you balance your time and make more money whilst being able to choose the projects you want to work on rather than ones you have to take to pay your bills.

But first, whether you are just checking if you are the right fit for a new career in design, or wondering how you can improve what's going on in your current design career...

Top 3 takeaways from this episode include:

1: Go live!

Rachel and I discuss why going live on social media is so important for your brand and the relationship you are already building with your next potential design client.

2. Talk about what your ideal client wants to hear.

When do you go live, you want to speak about the stuff that your ideal client is romanced by. Are you talking about how you use colour and pattern to create a coastal environment that makes you feel like you are on holiday every day? Are you talking about the support your clients when it comes to decluttering their old lives to make space for a fabulous new one?

3. Talk about the transformation.

In today’s episode, Rachel talked about a client who had removed herself from the severe clutter of her old life to the fabulous refresh of her new one. The result was not only emotional for Rachel’s client, but physical. Rachel talks about the surprise of seeing her client a few months later weighing half her original size. What previous client experiences can you bring into your conversation that may resonate strongly with your next potential client?
