BOD™ LIVE | Filling the Client Pipeline

Ideally, every business owner wants to have a line up of customers and always know when the next job is coming. The most successful businesses sign projects via their pipeline, not chase their pipeline when projects dry up.

Lack of consistent prospecting = inconsistent results and inconsistent revenue.

BOD™ LIVE | Managing Discounts

Running a successful design business requires firm policies around all matters relating to money. While the public is aware in a general way that designer or trade discounts exist, there is frequently a misunderstanding as to how they are best used.
