Occupy “Income Street” : Work Smarter NOT Harder RE-Loaded!
Back by popular demand but RE-loaded! The first part of this workshop was introduced at the 2013 RESA Convention to rave reviews. This updated version is intended for home staging professionals at any stage of their business who would like to sharpen their skills and grow their business in the occupied home selling market. Starting again with the “Walk & Talk” Consultation which has become one of the surest ways to make home staging an industry standard for every home, at any price point in ANY MARKET and then combining that with additional staging service options for occupied home sellers, this often very underserved occupied home market in your area is a lucrative income stream which requires not much more than your time, expertise and maybe a little muscle. But it’s not for the faint of heart!
Have you wanted to incorporate the Walk & Talk Consultation into your menu of services and offer this service to clients in occupied homes? Have you offered them but felt you were giving
away to much information and didn’t charge enough? Have you attempted and “failed”? In this workshop you’ll learn proven techniques and strategies to incorporate or perfect this service for your client base and become the ‘go to’ stager for all their listings along with understanding how you can also add to your revenue stream by returning for more services in these homes after the initial consultation and even after the client has moved into their new home!
