Staging Sips

Making money at every phase of your staging business is simple. You make money by focusing on Money Generating Activities. At each phase of business, those MGA's are slightly different. In the growth phase you need to be out meeting all of the humans. Growing your self-concept as a staging business owner. Learning how to talk about what you do. Staying in touch. Developing the mental stamina to ke...

I am an in demand stager. Imagine this was your intentional, practiced thought. Imagine it was your most practiced thought. How would you show up to your business in every way with that thought. What kind of action would you take when that is what you're thinking. Imagine how empowering that thought can be. Feel it. We get to choose the sentences we tell ourselves.

My Strategy for Booking Home Staging Consultations Before I landed on this strategy to handle all of the incoming sales inquiries into my business, I was pretty much flying by the seat of my pants. I'd answer calls from my car, while I was waiting in car line for the kids, while I was in the grocery store. You name it, I answered my phone every. single. time.

That is where most of our work l...

The average homeowner moves every 7 years.   28% of listing agents surveyed by the National Association of Realtors incorporate staging into their listings. And I betcha not all of those listing agents use staging companies. Soooo….. We have to assume most people have never worked with a staging company before. That can open up all kinds of opportunity for them to be nervous, confused and not be r...

This week, I want to introduce you to a concept that will absolutely make your business life so much more enjoyable as you grow. It is going to help you find clients who are a very best fit for your services and will help you identify those clients that won't be a right fit or get the best results from the work that you do. They are called Client Filters. Client Filters are like having a Red Velve...

People ask the darndest things, don't they?  Can you stage tomorrow?  Can you give me a discount because I'll bring you lots of work?  Can I pick the furniture you use? If you're in business long enough, you'll definitely hear at least one of those.   You may also encounter scenarios like, 4 feet of snow in the driveway leading to the house you're supposed to stage, construction teams still workin...

One of the joys of owning a Staging business is that you meet so many humans. And one of the challenges of owning a Staging business is that you meet so many humans! We will be constantly working with people who haven't worked with a stager before so they may have misinformed expectations about staging (I'm looking at you HGTV!) or they may flat out just be demanding or miserable people. They may...
