Designed to Scale® Hiring Blueprint for Interior Designers

ALL THE DETAILS BELOW

You’re an interior designer who wants to take on bigger and better projects, be more profitable, and get out of the day-to-day tasks that are draining the life out of you. You dream of the day when you have a team who can seamlessly step in to do their part, without you having to micromanage every detail, only to fix it all in the end. Right now it feels like if you took a day off, the whole business would come to a screeching halt.  

With the Designed to Scale® Hiring Blueprint, you’ll have processes, resources, and templates in place so you can confidently build a team and set them up for success. With clear steps to guide you from identifying who to hire and vetting applicants, to making offers and onboarding team members into your company, you’ll finally be able to ditch the overwhelm and take your business to the next level.

Focus on the work you love, hand off the work you don’t, and finally have the brain space to go after those big picture goals–like opening a storefront, getting published, having passive income, working less, or hitting your biggest financial year.
