In this podcast episode I talk with Nikki Watson owner of The Design Quad, the largest home staging and interior design firm in the nation. Nikki’s company is a well oiled machine that allows her time to do philanthropic work as well as occasional appearances on HGTV. She has also developed a curated collection of furniture with ZUO that is custom tailored to the needs of Home Stagers.

 

You will learn:

  • How Nikki has created a team that runs her staging business while she focuses on being the rainmaker
  • What it is really like doing HGTV
  • How Nikki’s business manages to do 6-8 stagings a day, 5 days a week
  • Why Nikki charges a flat rate for staging (and doesn’t charge monthly furniture rental fees)
  • The most effective way Nikki generates business
  • Why Nikki teaches a design trends class for Real Estate Agents
  • How Nikki makes it easy for Real Estate Agents to work with her team
  • Nikkis’s unique email tip to win business
