What do you do when the big design projects aren't coming in as quickly as they used to?

In this episode, Rebecca sits down with interior designer and business owner Karin Bennett for a candid conversation about the decisions that help keep a design firm profitable when the market shifts.

They talk about when it makes sense to take on smaller projects, why Karin continues investing in marketing during slower seasons, and how she balances keeping her team busy with protecting the standards of her firm.

Then they get into the numbers: flat fees, tracking hours, implementation fees, and why your pricing model needs to evolve as your services and projects change.

You'll also hear why Karin prefers hiring experienced team members, how that has made delegation easier, and what she wishes she had understood about hiring much earlier in her business.

If you're navigating a slower season, questioning your pricing or trying to make smarter decisions about what your design business needs next, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
