Sales Clues For Interior Designers To Advance Closed deals

Interior Design  is a great career selection for talented and creative individuals. However, this field can become stressful if you’re not able to meet deadlines, stay on budget, and fulfill the clients’ needs and wants.

       One very important aspect of leads & sales is knowing your consumer. While this sounds obvious, it will greatly boost your chances of fulfilling the customer’s needs on budget and having them recommend you to a friend.

 Knowing your customer consists of knowing exactly what they want AND need. This means style, color, function, and budget. Knowing the difference between want and need is also extremely important. Let’s talk about want

since it can be difficult to pinpoint with some customers who may be indecisive or just not informed on what is available to them. Is your clientele traditional? Do they want the traditional vertical window blinds their parents had

when they were a child? Are they more worried about pricing? Are they looking for fresh window treatments? Or are they simply in the dark and want recommendations?

Once you have figured this out, it`s time for you to make suggestions. Make sure you have good working relationships with the different window treatment companies out there. Some might be able to give you a free working

sample. This would be a great weapon to have in your arsenal as it allows the prospect to operate the blind or shade and better picture what it would landscape like installed in their interior. Make sure you know what styles are

better designed for the type of window you’re prospect has. If you don’t know, then this is also where you’re relationship with the window treatment companies comes in. Simply ask you’re deals rep what he or she recommends.

 They also should be able to tell you what is trending or selling the most. Once you are educated on the unique styles and their pros and cons, making suggestions for your customers needs should be easy. Are they interested in

modern window treatments but have a large oversized window? This can be easily taken care of as there are numerous options out there to fit any planned disbursement or thing.

Being educated about window treatments should be mandatory if you are an interior designer. While furniture can make a plain room look stylish, the proper window treatment can put it over the top. I recommend doing some research and finding out about the different styles out there along with their intended purpose. Once you have this readily available, your bank account should come naturally since most customers will gravitate towards salesmen
