Wingnut Social: The Interior Design Business and Marketing Podcast
Having a showroom can be an amazing calling card and home base for interior designers. But is it worth the overhead and the headaches? On today’s episode, Cheryl Kees Clendenon answers all your questions about showrooms. Cheryl Kees Clendenon is the owner and lead designer of In Detail Interiors on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Her innovative work has earned her firm more awards than any other firm on the Gulf Coast, and Cheryl is also an accomplished business coach to interior designers. On today’s episode she talks about why she opened a showroom, how it’s benefited her business, and convinces Darla she should open her own (if she can get Natalie to agree). What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [1:25] Mel Gibson has nothing on Darla [9:27] The nitty, not the gritty, on showrooms [11:15] The research you need to do [12:42] Getting the best pricing possible [17:22] Striking deals with vendors [19:24] You have to be capitalized [23:45] Why Cheryl does not believe discounts [30:30] How Cheryl communicates pricing with clients [36:14] Will a showroom get you more clients? [40:34] Why are designers afraid to open a showroom? [49:42] You need a good business plan [53:50] Cheryl’s coaching business [40:40] Whut up, Wingnut? Connect with Cheryl Kees Clendenon In Detail Interiors Small Business Think Big on Facebook Resources & People Mentioned Register for Darla’s event with Nicole Heymer at High Point How Successful People Think Biocentrism Having a showroom means you don’t have to worry about getting shopped One of the major concerns for interior designers is, of course, getting shopped. A customer asks you how much something might cost, and then they scour the internet looking for a better price. But Cheryl tells Darla and Natalie that part of her showroom’s business model is to partner with vendors to showcase their wares in exchange for discount prices. So, as she says, her firm doesn’t have to worry about getting shopped because “we shop ourselves.” Cheryl also immediately dispels one of the biggest concerns about having a showroom: Suddenly finding yourself in the retail business. If you’re not interested in having open doors and customers wandering through, you can do what she did it at first: Close the doors. By being by-appointment-only, Cheryl was able to maintain her showroom without having any of the trappings of being a retail store. Setting up a showroom takes time Before she opened her showroom, Cheryl said she spent a year and a half researching what lines she would carry. It can take a lot of prep work to find the right vendors, strike deals with them, convince them to take you seriously. Also, as Cheryl said, it can take a long time for your showroom to take off, so you have to be ready and willing to withstand that wait. And beyond that, doing this takes money. You may be running your interior design business out of a home office, or doing everything you can to lower your overhead. If you want to open a showroom, as Cheryl says, you have to be capitalized. .

A really hard lesson learned in front of a crowd at the Natural Eastern on April 15 and how what I learned can apply to your training goals. On this episode, Cheryl explains what happened when she fell on stage during her routine at the Natural Eastern on April 15, 2017 before going PRO, what she learned from it and how she pushed through to get back up again in all ways. Here are some interesting things you'll hear in this episode. - Why Cheryl believes she fell in the first place - Why getting back up and going again immediately with anything you fall or fail at is the most important thing and how to do that. - How what you think about manifests itself and how keeping your thoughts in check will literally make or break you achieving your goals. ....Yes this was recorded in my car, like most of my thoughts, they come while driving!!! where are your best thoughts coming from?
Cheryl Tan knows the power of stories in connecting people. She’s been a broadcast journalist in GA and VA, with 20+ years in the TV news business. After blending her talents with her entrepreneurial drive, she now shares interviewing and storytelling skills with business owners who want to use video or media to tell the stories of their companies. Cheryl knows how to help entrepreneurs be seen as experts in their fields and helps them connect with clients and customers through video and public relations. TWEET: “Learn to share your story while you build your #Authority!” @CherylTan Life’s Changing Journey We all know that we don’t always end up doing what we “think” we will. There is value in being willing to change your path and find your voice. This is what Cheryl had to do to end up in the field of broadcast journalism. She shares how she learned from others and learned about connecting with people through stories. The key elements are listening and being curious. Even though her path didn’t lead where she expected, Cheryl found a way to blend her innate curiosity, her love for writing, and her passion for literature into a “news job.” TWEET: “Your WHY will come out quite naturally when you share what you do.” @CherylTan Testing the Waters Do you know the feeling of leaping into something new? Cheryl describes her personal experience as “dipping her toe” into a new path. She began asking business associates if they needed help with newsletters or media and was surprised when her offers were well-received. Soon enough, she was able to pick a date at which she would go “all in.” That was over two years ago—a time period fraught with journeys, pivots, and changes. What is the secret to making it work? Cheryl says that you need the courage to leave all you’ve ever known and have faith in yourself. She shares how she now serves people in a different way and empowers them to tell their stories. TWEET: “People are more open to you when you start by offering help.” @CherylTan Asking for Help Do you ask for help when you need it? Most of us don’t. Cheryl had to look for people who knew “a thousand times more” than she did and tap into their expertise. If you look, you will find them—those who had left something behind to look for something else. Cheryl warns that these “helpers” don’t have to have the same exact situation as you do to be helpful. The passion to help others is the common factor. TWEET: “It’s more than OK to ask for help.” @CherylTan GUEST RECOMMENDATION: “Take action. Do ONE thing to move you forward. Most people know what that is, even if it’s scary; they just need to do it.” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE: [1:50] How Aimee met Cheryl [2:25] Finding your voice [5:50] Why Cheryl took the path to broadcast journalism [8:52] Behind the scenes in news making [10:44] Cheryl’s 20-year career in TV news [14:00] Testing the waters and taking the leap [18:18] Being self-aware and listening to your gut [19:08] Always learning and adapting [21:16] Seeking help when you need it [24:40] No limits: Keep going [25:26] Common lessons in changing careers [27:25] The WHY---and how to find it [33:00] How Cheryl offers help to others [35:35] How connections have helped [39:20] Cheryl’s ONE action for dream chasers to take RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Cheryl on Facebook Cheryl on Twitter Cheryl’s Website TWEETS YOU CAN USE: TWEET: “A genuine #connection doesn’t have to be a constant connection.” @cheryltan TWEET: “I’m a good interviewer because I “just have to know about people.” @cheryltan TWEET: “Your #path knows where to take you.” @cheryltan
