Are you turning away small projects because they don't seem profitable enough?
You may be missing one of the biggest opportunities in your business.
In this episode, I challenge the common belief that designers should only pursue large, full-service projects. Instead, I explain why evaluating the client—not just the project—can lead to stronger relationships, more repeat business, and greater long-term profitability.
We also dive into customer lifetime value, profitable entry offers, scope management, and how to create a business that grows through relationships rather than constantly chasing new leads.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Why small projects aren't always small opportunities
The difference between hiring the project and hiring the client
Understanding customer lifetime value in an interior design business
How to create profitable entry-level design services
Why scope growth isn't always scope creep
Building contracts that support additional services
Creating repeat clients instead of constantly finding new ones
The mindset shifts that lead to sustainable business growth
The goal isn't simply to book bigger projects.
It's to build relationships that create value for years to come.
