It was a busy Thursday and I had a design colleague who'd asked if she could
see how I worked on a project. I figured it would help to have an extra set of hands, so I invited her to join me.
We headed over to a project in process, of course my client was at work so we had the place to ourselves and got to work.
I was putting the finishing touches on her new great room including moving several pieces around, adding a rug, lamps, artwork, accessories and
more.
As we dove in, Paulette, the friend and fellow designer, looked at me surprised and said "your client lets you do all of this?"
(She was used to working only when the client was home and getting piece by piece approval.)
I looked equally surprised and said, "Of course, they trust me completely, if they didn't, I wouldn't work with
them."
Now that trust came not just from working with them, but it started with a complete and clear letter of agreement.
That sets both myself, my team and the client up for success.
What is promised, how it will be delivered, the time frame it will be delivered in, and the investment are all detailed and documented at the onset.
The fastest way to create incredible client security is transparency; the right letter of agreement creates that.
It also protects you and the client from mishaps and misunderstandings.
You'll get the 12
essential elements you must include in every agreement to ensure a profitable and successful project.
Whether you've been in the design business many years or are just starting out, this is the cornerstone for more profit, a protected practice and priceless peace of mind.
You deserve to invest your talents creatively with ease and grace not stressing over your
business.
Can't wait to "see" you and together we'll Prosper by Design.
Mega Hugs,
Melissa
