#03: How I Found More Clients As a New Interior Designer

What is one of the most stressful things about being an interior designer in business?... NOT knowing where your next clients are coming from!

I moved provinces in 2014 - after running a successful design business for 11 years - and figured whatever I did to gain my first clients starting out would naturally work again in a new and much larger city.

BOY, WAS I WRONG. People didn’t know this, but for nearly 2 years I struggled to find clients and build my network, and I began to wonder if we had made a huge mistake relocating where we did. The market was super saturated and I just wasn’t making traction like I thought I should be. Eventually things took off, but it wasn’t until I really put myself out there in some pretty unconventional ways that I began to see the payoff. In this episode I share with you all of the things I did to re-build my business again in a brand new and busy market, what worked, and what I would suggest avoiding if I were starting all over again from scratch!
