Business Inspiration for Your Design Firm

274: Business Inspiration for Your Design Firm 

Joining me today is Colleen Bennett of CBB design firm and Mimosa Home. Colleen has had a varied career in design working worldwide, and today she's going to share some of her story and how she's created a unique experience for her clients maintaining profitability in the process.

Topics Mentioned:

• Travel

• Profit

• Debt

• Intention  

Key Thoughts: 

• You control the sale with finishes. Because once you get into the finished department and the design department, you control every single aspect from there.  Colleen Bute Bennett 

   

• The beautiful thing is they're levers and we know what we need to make. So, you can go up and down, you can have a higher rate and a lower markup.  Michele Williams 

   

• We have now created this one-stop shop for our clients. So instead of you running around to every single place, you're in one location, and we get your house done in four to six hours. Colleen Bute Bennett 

   

• I love the idea that design can show up in so many different ways. You can reinvent certain things and it just feels like we're not as boxed in sometimes. Michele Williams
