Interview with Michelle Binette In this episode, I was able to interview Michelle Binette of Michelle Binette Design. Michelle is one of my design buddies! I was on her podcast in 2019 talking about pricing and hiring (click here to listen), and now it's her turn to be in the interviewee's hot seat. In the episode, we have a very candid conversation about how she recently did a complete overhaul of her onboarding and sales process, and how it was created to uniquely fit her personality, her mindset, and her service offering.    Having been surrounded by art her whole life, Interior Decorator Michelle Binette brings a unique artistic perspective to every project. Michelle’s rare ability to blend creativity and a systematic approach ensure the client has a great experience every step of the way.  In her four short years in Michelle has worked on countless residential projects, been featured on Design*Sponge and Rue Magazine, and is a guest expert on Marilyn Denis. Michelle also hosts ‘Real Talk Design’, a 5-star podcast where she gets real about the business of design. When she’s not changing the world one throw pillow at a time, you can find her catching up on reality TV. During the episode, Michelle and I talk about how having a process is super important, even if you're a creative individual, and of how you have to look within, and assess the areas of your business that are causing you friction and discomfort. To create a process that's uniquely yours you have to recognize what needs to change and learn from your lessons. Michelle shares how she came to the pivotal decision of changing her service offering and making her business exactly what she wanted it to be. She shares some of what she does to stay strong and firm on the types of projects she takes on (saying no to a possible client is a scary thing for many).    You can find Michelle Binette at www.michellebinette.com, on Instagram @michellebinette.design, and don't forget to listen to her Real Talk Design Podcast.  Leave a comment below on how you liked this episode and let me know what other topics or guests you’d like on the podcast.

Featured in this week's episode of The Productive Designer host Crystal Collinson interviews fellow podcaster and interior decorator Michelle Binette. Michelle is the owner of Michelle Binette and unlike many interior design professionals, she is self-taught.  Michelle fell in love with the idea of interior decorating & design after doing her own home renovation.  She has aspirations to have her own home design show one day and has been contacted for casting several times. In her early days, Michelle often felt out of place with her designer colleagues until she started her own podcast. After hosting her own podcast, she felt accepted because she was helping the listeners, gaining more knowledge from others, and now has some “street cred” to her name.So, join Crystal and Michelle as they discuss their podcasts, what parts of interior design they avoid, and different methods of approaching their business. And then, do something today that your future self will thank you for.How to Get in Touch with Michelle:Website : michellebinette.com Instagram : michellebinette.designFacebook : michellebinette.designRecommended PodcastsArmchair ExpertThe Bachelorette Podcast

Marketing your interior design business is a business all its own. Social media marketing is essential, but so is marketing in real life, and spreading that all-important word of mouth. So on today’s podcast, we’re talking with someone who knows marketing inside and out, because she was a professional marketer before leaving her corporate job to begin her career in interior design. Darla and Natalie talk with Michelle about how her marketing career informs her interior design business, how brand marketing and direct-response marketing are different, and how she drummed up her first client with a simple marketing trick. In 2016, Michelle transitioned to interior design after spending 15 years as a marketer. Since then she’s worked on countless projects, has been featured in Design*Sponge and Room magazine. She’s also a former Roller Derby jammer, and she has her own podcast called Business Homies where she picks the brains of experts.

The marketing tip that helped Michelle get started Michelle spent years in marketing, but as she says she didn’t have a lot of experience with online marketing. However, she knew right away that she needed to put up a blog (even though she didn’t tell family about it) that attracted the type of clients that would want to work with her, and turned away potential clients that would not, in the end, jibe with her personality. That’s a hard lesson to learn for anyone starting out, but Michelle’s years in marketing helped her figure that out from day one. And knowing that, it allowed Michelle to really own her own personality, and not be afraid to be herself and share her true self as part of her business. It’s not always easy to be yourself in business, but if you’re going into business for yourself, it’s truly the only way to make yourself happy, and have an authentic connection with clients. Make Facebook groups work for marketing your interior design business Every interior designer should hear Michelle’s advice for maximizing the potential of Facebook groups. She lives outside of Toronto, and she’s a member of loads of Toronto Facebook groups, and each of those Facebook groups has rules about when you can post to promote your own business. So Michelle made a calendar for all of those Facebook groups, and she would make sure that on those days she’d go on to promote her interior design business. Michelle tailored her posts in Facebook groups to be less promotional, more sharing blog posts, etc. She wasn’t trying to be overly promotional, but she would leave information if someone wanted to schedule a consultation. And the very first time she posted in a group, she landed a consultation. Social media marketing works, people!

Role-playing is one of the most effective tools for increasing your confidence. By having rote answers that you’ve rehearsed and memorized, you can answer questions that sometimes feel intimidating. In this episode, BOD member, Michelle Binette, turns the tables on Kimberley by asking typical client questions. Some of the answers may surprise you. In this episode we learn: - when a potential client phones, sell the consultation, not the project - how to prevent clients who do not have a sufficient budget from calling, or to prompt them to increase the budget once they do call - how to ask clients for the job - how to say no to the wrong client/project - a reasonable amount to charge with a living room decorating project - why it’s important to read your contract to the client (line by line!)
