Do you have a clear vision statement?\n\n\n\nIf you’re serious about transforming your business by implementing the systems and procedures you learn about through Business of Design®\, our monthly BOD™ Live meetings will help keep you motivated\, accountable\, and in good company. \nJoin us each month to help fast track the process and address your most pressing questions. \nYou are not alone.

We’ll also hear from one of our members who almost convinced Kimberley to try it a different way. Come prepared with your questions\, and be ready to offer experience\, expertise and support to your fellow members. \n\n\nIf you’re serious about transforming your business by implementing the systems and procedures you learn about through Business of Design®\, our monthly BOD™ Live meetings will help keep you motivated\, accountable\, and in good company. \nJoin us each month to help fast track the process and address your most pressing questions. \nYou are not alone.

SUMMARY:Flat Fee Projects
DESCRIPTION:Regular Price $695 | BOD™ Member Price $495 (Save $200) \nNorth America |  Tuesday\, June 28th at 4:00 pm EST / 1:00 pm PST \nAustralia | Wednesday\, June 29th at 6:00 am AEST \n~ \nJoin us for this 3-hour virtual seminar. \nYou’ve chosen this career as a design professional because you have a gift and an aptitude. You love what you do\, you want to please your clients and receive recognition for the work you perform. And\, you deserve to be fairly compensated. You don’t want to argue about money or fuss over endless paperwork. You’re looking for the easiest way to get the clients onboard so you can get the project started. Right? \nOf course. We all feel this way. And yet\, the vast majority of professional designers consistently lose money when they work on a flat fee or value based fee. \nWell\, not anymore! It’s time to recalibrate and use a calculation method that doesn’t have you working for free. If you’re ready to embrace the future of design\, this course is for you. \nIn this seminar\, you will learn to: \n\nEffectively capture scope of work and grow profits.\nBudget projects with total confidence.\nCreate realistic flat fee proposals.\nBuild the structure and discipline required to protect your resources (time and money) and satisfy your clients.\n\n  \nThe seminar recording will be made available following the live seminar for 72 hours only. All those who register will be emailed a link to the video recording as soon as it’s available online.
