DesignSmart Services -
Our professional support staff will let you focus on design and growing your business, because we have your back (office)
Success isn’t measured by how many employees you have.
It is measured by your profits and how much you love what you’re doing.
There are no secret recipes for becoming a successful interior design firm, but following these 4 rules will help.
Rule #1 - Minimize Overhead
Minimizing overhead so your firm is “lean and mean” will maximize profits (and reduce stress). One of the best ways to do this is to have as few employees as possible because this will:
- Reduce payroll taxes
- Reduce unemployment taxes
- Reduce office and equipment costs
- Reduce paid time off costs
Rule #2 - Minimize Distractions
The key to success is to focus on core competencies and eliminate non-productive distractions.
This means focusing on design and networking while eliminating major distractions such as:
- Recruiting, interviewing, and training new employees
- Supervising staff
- Dealing with work disruptions when employees need time off
- Dealing with employee issues
Rule #3 - Partner with Professionals
Having spent 14 years working with interior design firms, we saw time and again how employee issues hampered our design clients, so we started DesignSmart Services. Our goal is to provide professional-level services that will help you be more successful. Our success depends on your success.
Rule #4 - Enjoy Being The Designer You Always Wanted To Be
Too many designers spend more time doing non-design tasks than they do design work. A: That’s crazy. B: It’s not fun.
So be smarter than those other designers:
- Minimize overhead so you reduce costs and minimize your stress.
- Reduce staffing so you can reduce distractions and minimize stress.
- Hire our professionals so you know your back office is managed competently and efficiently.
- Then enjoy being a designer again and watch your business grow..
