Delivered to You
The really cool thing about this is that you don’t have to travel anywhere to get these golden nuggets of wisdom from each speaker. They will be delivered right to your inbox for you to listen when you have the time. You can listen at home or while you are driving in your car-easey peasey!
Visibility Doesn’t Have to Feel Scary
When you hear the word “visibility” do you cringe?
What if I told you that it doesn’t have to feel that way?
What would it be like if you could be visible to potential clients in a way that feels good….in a way that feels natural to you and helps you become wildly known for your expertise?
I mean let’s face it- you can be the best designer or home stager in the world but if people don’t know about you-you won’t be able to create the life and business of your dreams.
Learn how you can become more visible in ways that suit you and enjoy a steady stream of loyal clients filling your pipeline so you never have to worry about client attraction again!
The Speakers
All of these speakers are the best in the field. They are home stagers, interior designers, marketers, home staging and design educators, design podcasters, PR specialists, bloggers, authors, etc.
There are many ways to be visible to clients in this business and these experts will give you a glimpse into their way so that you may choose what works for you when growing your business![/text_block]
So impressed! Have lots of notes written out and have not only learned A LOT, but am very motivated to make some changes in my business and how I do it. Thank you so much for putting this together. Going to purchase access to hear all the sessions. Looking forward to hearing yours. You rock Marianne!
Ginny Truyens
Marianne, these sessions are so awesome. Every speaker you have chosen shares such a wealth of information that is valuable to both, new stagers as well as those who have been in business for a longer time. Thank YOU for this!!
Birgit Anich
Incredible information….thanks to all of the pros you gathered together. I’m gleaning some fantastic information as I explore new possibilities!
Bobbie McGrath
I coach a lot of Home Stagers who want to grow their business but are stuck on how to become more visible to their ideal clients.
They shy away from putting themselves out there because they feel funny about it or they simply aren’t sure how to go about it.
They see others doing it but they hold back. They may be afraid of criticism or feel that they will look too “cocky”. Sometimes they are paralyzed with fear about doing more video or Facebook Live
……… so they stay a best kept secret!
It all seems a lot more difficult than they thought it would be….
They are frustrated because they have taken design and/or staging training courses and thought that it would be much easier to get clients and they are still struggling.
Their self confidence has taken a beating and they begin to doubt whether this profession is right for them, even though they really love what they do.
These are talented people who have so much to offer their clients, but they can’t generate enough income to support themselves so they feel like giving up.
It all seems too overwhelming!
That is why I have rallied some of the top stagers, designers and marketing experts to share their secrets on how they have become more visible in order to build a fabulous business of ideal clients.
In this telesummit, each expert will pull back the curtain and reveal the ins and outs of their unique way of “being visible” so that you might learn and implement their strategies in your business plan.
When you understand how to be visible in a way that feels good to you, your confidence will soar and you will attract clients to you like bees to honey.
But playing small and hiding is not a way to find success. You have to be willing to grow and learn and push your own self imposed boundaries. You have to invest in YOU!
Once you are armed with the knowledge to attract more clients you have to make sure that your mindset is in tune with growth because if your mindset is off- you will not create the life and business that you truly want!
In order to grow your business you have to grow as a person and that is where I come in- helping you play a much bigger game, stretch what you may have thought is possible and attract all the ideal clients that you want!
Are you ready to become the “go to stager” in your area???
Now that’s what I am talkin’ about!!!
So let’s get fired up!!![/text_block]
