Rock the Initial Consultation Original Version

Must-See Videos

In addition, you’ll also get exclusive access to three videos! First, an introductory video with a step by step walk through of my process from the initial call to the start of the initial consultation.

Second, a NEVER SEEN BEFORE style of video where you’ll see EXACTLY how I handle the discovery call. Here I show you how to confidently share details of how a client will benefit from working with you, including how to manage expectations in terms of what to expect when working with you and one of my favourite lines, which potential clients LOVE to hear.

Third, is also an exclusive and NEVER SEEN BEFORE style of video of an initial consultation meeting. See how I take control of a meeting, discuss packages and pricing and how to deal with possible awkward scenarios with clients and how to deal with them professionally and confidently.

If you get stuck on how to word emails and put together forms, don’t worry—I’ve taken care of all of that for you. You will also receive:

7 Drafted Email Templates
More than 15 Templates/Forms/Checklists for Tracking and Logging Inquiries and Organising Clients’ Information
An Easy to Follow Process Flow Chart
A Script for the Discovery Call

Plus!

A 20-page slide package for reference, which includes information on how to handle consultations where clients are hiring you for ongoing services. Those can be quite different to the consultation-only meetings for design and colour advice. Don’t worry—I cover it all!

ROCK THE CONSULTATION 2.0. From Discovery Call To Initial Client Meeting: My Simplified, Step-by-Step Process

Rock The Consultation 2.0 Workshop Graphics

For years, designers have been raving about my ROCK The Consultation Process Package. I’m confident by the end of this workshop, you will too!

During this 2-hour + Q&A live webinar, I will show you:

The biggest mistake to avoid when presenting consultation services & fees
Suggested pricing for the consult (& why it’s more than your hourly)
4 ways designers continue to sabotage their potential for growth
5 key factors to consider when establishing your design service rates

Increase your conversions of inquiries to paid consultations, and consultations to design projects. In just one afternoon, you’ll learn the proven strategies that took me years to perfect.

When I first started my business, I was making things up as I went along, reinventing the wheel with every new inquiry.

The free ‘Meet & Greets’ weren’t working. I was spending additional time (unpaid) after a consultation to send follow-up documentation. Chasing payment for invoices was making me feel resentful and unappreciated.

But with a determination to lead a thriving design business, combined with 4 years of experience in an HR role where I was responsible for developing and maintaining standard operating procedures, I persevered.

ROCK The Consultation was created and became the first part of a bigger transformation I saw in myself back then. The streamlined system that I created empowered me and gave me a whole new level of confidence.

All these years later, the proven system remains the same and I still use it today with great success.

What’s Included:

2-hour live workshop presentation on Zoom (recording available the following day)
Walkthrough from the first point of contact to the end of the consultation
Step-by-step inquiry process for handling the Discovery Call
How to prepare your client consultation folder
Video – ‘What’s in My Bag’ updated, showing you exactly what I take to the consult
Tips for recognizing ‘Red Flags’ & handling awkward situations
Live Q&A for extra Claire-ity

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be a recording available after the live event?

Yes! On the day following the live workshop, a recording of the presentation will be sent to the email address you used to register for the event and be available for 2 weeks. We suggest you download it to have it in your own files.

What is the format and structure of the workshop?

The workshop will be live on Zoom for 2 hours with a 10-minute break after approximately an hour. There will also be a Q&A at the end of the presentation for you to have an opportunity to ask questions.

When you sign up to save your seat, you will receive an email confirming your registration. On the day of the live workshop, you will receive instructions to access the downloads, as well as a link to the Zoom call.

Will there be an opportunity to ask questions?

Yes, there will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation where you can ask me anything relating to the workshop topic. I’m here to give you complete Claire-ity.

How will this workshop help me overcome current challenges in the design industry?

One of the biggest struggles in the interior design industry today is effectively communicating your value to potential clients and gaining their trust. Often I hear designers complain about clients ‘shopping’ them, and expecting the cheapest price for quality furnishings we select for them.

In 13 years, we’ve never had a Full-Service client ‘shop’ us.

I believe that this is due to how we strategically conduct our onboarding process, carefully vet leads, and effectively manage client’s expectations.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how we thoughtfully establish trust from the very first touch point. Designers who previously enrolled in my first ROCK The Consult course, were blown away at how thorough my process was compared to what they had been doing before.

When you implement my step-by-step formula from the Discovery Call to the end of the Consultation, you too should start converting more inquiries into paid consultations, and consultation clients to further design projects.

What are the key takeaways or skills I will gain from attending this workshop?

The expression, ‘You only get one chance to make a first impression’ is 100% true. When a potential client reaches out to inquire about your services, how are you showing up and standing out from the crowd?

With my proven processes, your onboarding process will be flawless and easy to follow making it an enjoyable experience for you, your team, and new clients.

You don’t need to second-guess what part of your process could be better, because you will come away from this workshop with the same framework for success that I’ve been using to command higher rates and land better clients for more than 10 years. Soon, you’ll be doing this too.

Should I attend this workshop if I’ve been in business for a while, isn’t learning about the Consultation for new designers only?

When I initially created ROCK The Consultation, my target audience was newer designers. I didn’t want anyone to go through what I went through in the beginning – flying by the seat of my pants with every new client, and stumbling every step of the way. The ‘Fake it until you make it’ philosophy may sound exciting, but it’s actually no fun at all.

More established designers were buying the course and sending me feedback to say they were blown away with how thorough my processes were – even reputable, long-standing designers who had been in business for years!

Here’s what Interior Designer Adam Scougall said: “I thought I was pretty good, but clearly I need to up my game with a tight mix of new tools shown in the package! This is the way to command a $$$ higher consult. Bravo.”

Anne DeCocoa gave me a 5-star review saying, “I bought Claire’s Consult package and it’s jam-packed with value. I’m a very experienced designer, but we never stop learning in this job. I’ve already implemented some of Claire’s wisdom and forms with great results! I would recommend ROCK The Consultation to every designer who needs to refresh (or start) their processes.”

As always, I never hold back. I personally guide you with my years of expertise, along with examples of my own real client experiences. When we all level up the professionalism of the way we conduct business and can charge higher rates for our luxury design services, the industry as a whole becomes stronger.

If I don’t sign up for this workshop, will there be another live workshop on the same topic in the future that I can purchase?

At this time, the live workshop on this specific topic is expected to be a one-time offer. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to attend ROCK The Consultation in a live workshop setting! There will be a limited number of attendees and we are thrilled to have always sold out these types of live webinars.

ROCK The Consultation 2.0 will be available for purchase as a digital product in early November. However, there will not be any live component like what you get inside the workshop, such as a personal walkthrough and Q&A with the opportunity for me to answer questions then and there in real-time.

It’s also important to note that the recording of the live presentation will not be provided in the online digital version of ROCK The Consultation 2.0.

What if I previously purchased your ROCK the Consultation process package?

Great question! If you previously invested in my first version of ROCK The Consultation, you will be contacted in early November by my team via the email address you used to place your original order. You will receive instructions on how to access the updated version, ROCK The Consultation 2.0, at no additional cost.

You will get access to all the updated templates, email drafts, process checklists, and video walkthroughs that are included in the workshop assets. The only part that is not included, is the live component. You are more than welcome to attend the live event and can purchase a ticket to save your seat by clicking the button ‘Add to Cart’ below.

What makes you qualified to teach designers on this topic?

I have been running a successful interior design firm since 2011. I have done hundreds of consultations, built up an extensive portfolio of design projects, and created a reputable business in my local area. Everything I teach is based exclusively on my own experiences.

We are proud to have over 125 five-star reviews from both clients and trades, as well as having received countless awards since our opening more than 13 years ago. (In fact, just this year we received another award recognizing Claire Jefford Inc. as the ‘Best Interior Designer’ in my town!)

I am one of the most well-known, reputable interior design business coaches in the industry and have spoken at various events all over North America. Since 2017 I have been teaching designers and decorators how to run profitable businesses and also lead a private Facebook group of more than 7400 design professionals worldwide.

I walk the walk and, if you know me, you know I don’t hold back in what I share. I am passionate about giving you the ‘how’ and not just telling you the ‘what’. If you are ready, I’m all in too!

Can I receive support or resources after the workshop ends?

If you wish for further support in any way to help you in your business, I offer 1-on-1, 90-minute coaching sessions.

What is the refund policy?

Once you have registered for the workshop, you will have confirmed your seat for the event. If you are unable to attend, you will still be sent a recording after the live workshop, as well as all the downloads. Therefore, there are no refunds.

I’m a big believer that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain. But the only way to enjoy the journey to the top without becoming burnt out or resentful in this business is by working with clients who see the value in your service and have unwavering trust in your abilities.

Your ability to earn and establish trust starts at the very beginning of any relationship. In real life, there are no ‘do-overs’. You only get one chance to ROCK the Consultation.

Join me October 24th and I’ll guide you through my proven process and provide you with complete Claire-ity.

All sales for the “ROCK THE CONSULTATION 2.0. From Discovery Call To Initial Client Meeting: My Simplified, Step-by-Step Process” workshop are final. We look forward to seeing you there!

I firmly believe that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain. Let me guide you there in ways you may have never considered, but that are incredibly money-generating services for your interior design business.

When I first started my business, I had an opportunity to work with a reputable HGTV builder who required well-thought-out floor plans before they would quote on any project. Through that experience, I leaned into Designer for a Day and Designer by Your Side Services to continually work with builders and land repeat clients for future larger projects.

Working in this way allowed me to build an extensive portfolio, a staggering amount of 5-star reviews, and a hefty client base.

The best part is that you control the deliverables that you wish to provide and you can choose to focus on aspects of design that you love most. That is why you got into business for yourself after all, right?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will there be a recording available after the live event?

Yes! On the day following the live workshop, a recording of the presentation will be sent to the email address you used to register for the event and be available for 10 days. We suggest you download it to have it in your own files.

What is the format and structure of the workshop?

The workshop will be live on Zoom for approximately 4 hours. There will be a 10-minute break and a Q&A session at the end of the presentation for you to have an opportunity to ask questions. When you sign up to save your seat, you will receive an email confirming your registration. On the day of the live workshop, you will receive instructions to access the downloads, as well as a link to the Zoom call.

Will there be an opportunity to ask questions?

Yes, there will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation where you can ask me anything relating to what I share and how to make the service work for you. I’m here to give you Claire-ity.

How will this workshop help me overcome current challenges in the design industry?

The beauty of offering Designer for a Day and Designer by Your Side Services is the ability to focus on what you love most, and structuring your business the way you want. With many homeowners being tech-savvy and shopping more online, they still lack the expertise or ‘designer’s eye’ that you and I possess.

Guidance from an expert is very much needed and once clients hire you for these smaller-scale consulting services, they often become repeat clients for larger, future projects and are quick to refer you to others.

In addition, if you are finding that the new tariffs are impacting product sales, leaning into services that focus on something that you can have complete control over, is a fantastic way to continue generating revenue in your business.

What are the key takeaways or skills I will gain from attending this workshop?

As with any interior design service you offer in your business, in order to land a client and gain their trust, you need to be able to clearly articulate what they can expect from working with you. They need to understand how your services will benefit them, and what the deliverables are that you will provide as part of your valuable, luxury service.

You will come away from this workshop knowing all of these important elements that will enable you to confidently sell this service to both homeowners and builders.

Can I still build a portfolio by offering these services?

Absolutely! Nearly 50% of our portfolio has been built from consulting-only design service client projects. Plus, by using any before photos, flat-lay imagery, design plans, etc., you will have a ton of content to share on social media that can be leveraged to further market your services.

I already have your contract templates for Designer for a Day and Designer by Your Side services, don’t those include everything I need to know for offering these services?

My contract templates with service outline documents and walk-thru videos are extremely thorough for what you need to legally cover yourself when offering these services to your clients. However, those templates do not include the ‘how’ or teachings for best practices for offering these services.

In my live workshop, the goal is to show you exactly how to structure these services in a way that works for you, showing you my step-by-step process, as well as insights and helpful context by learning from my real client project experiences. The contracts are important but serve a different purpose.

Should I attend this workshop if I’m already offering these services in my business?

A big reason for offering this workshop is to de-mystify what these consulting services actually look like and how designers can make them work for their businesses. The feedback I have received from some designers offering these services is that they are not completely confident in the structure or setup, with many actually making it up as they go along with no clear plan.

As always, when I teach, I give you complete Claire-ity. I share my exact business model for how we deliver these services and personally guide you with my years of expertise, along with examples of real client projects and invoices. You also get valuable marketing tools, a process checklist, a comprehensive guidebook, and more so that I can erase any doubt on what it looks like to offer this service to clients and builders.

Are your contract templates included in the deliverables of this workshop?

Because my contract templates have been purchased by many designers and available for nearly 5 years, we did not include them in this workshop. We felt it would not be fair to increase the price of the workshop with those additional deliverables, since so many designers have already invested in those valuable, necessary, and complementary documents.

We will, however, have all contract templates available at a discounted price, for a limited time immediately following the event and exclusively for attendees of the workshop.

What makes this workshop different from others?

Based on the current climate of the industry and what many designers are struggling with right now in terms of managing a project and clients ‘shopping’ them, I bring an alternate, refreshing approach to being successful in a way that no one else is talking about.

What I teach is a business model that no one else has done as successfully as I have or for as long as I have. After this workshop, you will have the understanding and the tools to instantly start offering these great money-making, easy-to-do design services that have the potential to transform your business and increase your overall success.

I am a big believer that the most effective way to learn is by sharing real-life experiences. My proven methods are not based on theory. Everything I teach in this workshop is derived from my own, real client interactions. If you know me, you know this about me already!

If I don’t sign up for this workshop, will there be another live workshop in the future? Will the recording be available for purchase?

At this time I do not plan to offer this workshop anywhere else. That may change—but, for now, I feel the best way to deliver and teach this alternative style of service is through a live workshop. The next workshop on this topic will likely be in the fall.

What makes you qualified to teach designers on this topic?

I have been offering these services with great success since the year I opened for business in 2011. I have worked with numerous builders and have over 125 five-star reviews from both clients and trades, as well as having received countless awards since our opening more than 14 years ago. Just last year we received another award recognizing Claire Jefford Inc. as the ‘Best Interior Designer’ in my town.

I walk the walk and, I don’t hold back in what I share. I am passionate about giving you the ‘how’ and not just telling you the ‘what’. If you are ready, I’m all in too!

Can I receive support or resources after the workshop ends?

If you wish for further support in any way to guide you in your business, I offer 1-on-1, 90 minute Zoom Coaching sessions.

What is the refund policy?

Once you have registered for the workshop, you will have confirmed your seat for the event. If you are unable to attend, you will still be sent a recording after the live workshop which you can access for up to 10 days. All downloads will remain in your client portal with Claire Jefford Inc, which you can access anytime. Therefore, there are no refunds.

If you are ready to dive deep into Designer for a Day & Designer by Your Side services for the opportunity to expand your portfolio, secure repeat client work, and partner with builders, register to save your seat now and I’ll see you on October 16th!

Through that experience, I developed my Concept-Only Design Service and worked ongoing with that builder and many others over the years.

Working in this way allowed me to build an extensive portfolio, a staggering amount of 5-star reviews, and a hefty client base. Eventually, I was getting so much work that I no longer relied on builders for repeat business.

The best part is that you control the deliverables that you provide and get to focus on what you love most. The bulk of your time is not spent putting out fires.

Plus, while many consumers are starting to shop online and looking for the best deals on products, they still can’t do what you do when it comes to problem-solving and envisioning the best plan for a space.

This service enables you to deliver that which is in your control: your amazing talent for design! Everything you learn in this workshop will allow you to focus on being creative and being in control—all while making great money.

What are the key takeaways or skills I will gain from attending this workshop?

You will come away from this workshop knowing all of these important elements that will enable you to confidently sell this service to both clients and builders.

Will I have everything I need to start offering this service to clients and builders?

Yes! I will show you my exact step-by-step process for how we deliver this service in my business with outstanding results. With my guidance and expertise, along with examples of a real client presentation and invoices, a contract template, a service outline document with FAQs to use as a marketing tool, my process checklist, and a comprehensive guidebook, you will have all the necessary resources to add this fabulous offering to your menu of services immediately following the workshop.

Previous design attendees have messaged me after a week of finishing the workshop, telling me how they immediately set up and promoted this service and already booked clients!

What makes this workshop different from others?

Other workshops or courses related to running an interior design business focus on managing renovations or full-service projects.

Based on the current climate of the industry and what many designers are struggling with right now in terms of the challenges that come with managing a project and clients ‘shopping’ them, I teach an alternate, refreshing approach to be successful in a way that enables designers to do what they love most—design.

What I teach is a business model that no one else has done as successfully as I have or for as long as I have. After this workshop, you will have the understanding and the tools to instantly start offering this great money-making, easy-to-do design service that will transform your business.

If I don’t sign up for this workshop, will there be another live workshop in the future? Will the recording be available for purchase?

This will be our last Concept-Only Design Workshop this year. We also do not plan to offer it or all the assets you get in the workshop, anywhere else. For now, I feel the best way to deliver and teach this alternative style of service is through a live workshop. Due to the popularity and interest, we’ll likely run this workshop again next year…but why wait, when you could be fully confident and prepared to start offering this service before the end of this month?!

What makes you qualified to teach designers on this topic?

I have been offering this service with great success since the year I opened for business in 2011. I have worked with numerous builders offering our Concept-Only Design Services, and our clients always rave about us after working with them.

We have over 125 five-star reviews from both clients and trades, as well as countless awards since opening my business nearly 14 years ago.

Can I receive support or resources after the workshop ends?

If you wish for further support with specific guidance and advice for running a thriving interior design business, I offer 1-on-1, 90-minute online coaching sessions.

What is the refund policy?

Once you have registered for the workshop, you instantly get an email with all the downloads and templates. Your purchase reserves your spot for the event. If you are unable to attend on the day, you will still be sent the recording after the live workshop, as well as all the downloads. There are no refunds.
