a multi-faceted Interior Design Business Strategy Program

 Next Level Sales Strategies, Project Pricing & Reframing Value  for the Creative Entrepreneur

This is not a how-to. It’s a wake-up call.

 

It’s about how understanding human behavior gives you control in the sales process, the design relationship, and the success of your business.

 

It’s not about managing “red flags.” It’s about managing yourself so red flags don’t run the show.

It’s not about following a client onboarding checklist. It’s about commanding trust and driving decisions. 

This is the real deal psychology playbook for designers who are tired of getting shopped, questioned, and underpaid.

The Paradigm Intensive

Annual One on One 

  An intense immersive experience designed for you and about your specific business needs
This program is about envisioning, planning and then elevating your business to the next plateau and building a legacy business. 
A one year partnership specific to your firm and integrating The Design Paradigm® principles alongside one on one intensives throughout the year. This is the ticket to growing a sustainable business and being prepared for whatever gets thrown your way. My philosophy is the best way to work with an interior design consulting client is to get to know their business- how they operate- where the deficiencies are and what to do next to elevate to the next level. This is my preferred way to work.

Seasoned Designers - For some designers who have established firms, I am here to accelerate your growth with focused and specific plans for actionable results.

Designers changing direction - Other designers need guidance to add more services, refining their sales skills, increase marketing awareness- any of these areas are in my wheelhouse.

 

TALKING TO DESIGNERS FOR FALL 2025!

Diane Bianchini

Coaching Client- New York

"I have been working with Cheryl and Liz for several years. Cheryl has opened my eyes to running a better business.

She and Liz are always available to answer any questions and help guide me through some rough waters.

My design fees are averaging $30,000 and minimum expenditure $85,000 . Working with Cheryl and her team has been amazing for me. Even after 22 years in business, she has taught this old dog a few new tricks! My revenue doubled the first year of working together. Wish I had met her and drank the Kool Aid years ago... They genuinely care about my success."

Ute Vandenberghe

TDP Designer-Colorado

“THE CONTENT YOU DELIVER IS SO COMPREHENSIVE, AND I AM IN TOTAL AWE OF THE DETAILS!!!"

 
"I received two signed contracts on the same day and you helped me with both proposals! The flat fees combined are $31,000 with minimum expenditures of $130,000 plus project management! I so appreciate the passion, enthusiasm, wisdom, time and energy you are putting into this incredible and amazing program."
 

 

 

Colleen Langdon

TDP Designer - Arizona

I have been a part of a few other coaching programs and Cheryl is head and shoulders above all of them!

 
Not only in her knowledge of design and the industry but in business in general. I would not have had the amount of growth I have in the past two years without her.
 
There are still so many lessons she has taught me that I'm still working to implement but if you make the commitment I promise the results will be worth it. Cheryl is currently
helping me clean up my bookkeeping and after our session last week I am already feeling much more confident about it.

Do not practice safe mediocrity by embracing the standardized versions of what design means to others.

 

You are not for everyone. And neither are we. 

"Just wanted to say that I did one on one coaching with Cheryl last year and she's a total genius!  She changed my business last year and has helped me truly understand so much more about leadership, finances, and how metrics directly relate to profitability."
