1024: On Air Strategy Sessions: Ciara King: Setting Yourself Apart and Landing Your First Client

Today With Ciara King:

Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. Starting a design business is exciting, but it isn’t easy—especially when that first “real” client doesn’t come easily.

My guest for today’s on-air strategy session is in the thick of this tough spot and unsure how to move forward.

Today Ciara Robinson, founder of Ville Otis Interiors, joins me for a live coaching session to work through some of the hardest parts of starting a business—positioning yourself, converting leads, and landing that first client.

LuAnn Nigara and Ciara King’s Ah-Ha Moments

“Every one of you wants our homes to feel like us and make us feel good. But there’s a little nudge in why you’re doing it. And it could be as simple as I used to do it with clothing, but it only lasts for the five hours that you have that outfit on. I wanted it to last your whole day. Whatever it is, there’s a way to express that in the website, I’m sure of it.” -LuAnn

More About Ciara King

I’m Ciara King, proud owner and principal designer at Ville Otis Interiors, a full-service interior design firm nestled in the heart of Northern Georgia.

I’m taking a fresh approach to design that sets me apart from the crowd. Rather than chasing the latest trends, my focus is on delving into your distinct personality and preferences to craft a one-of-a-kind space that truly feels like home. I’m not just designing interiors; I’m bringing your authentic self to life in the very walls around you.

As someone who wears multiple hats, balancing the roles of a business owner, a wife, and a stepmom to three, I empathize with the desire to return to a relaxing and comfortable home, especially after a demanding day at work, a full day tending to the kids, and everything in between.

I believe in doing hard things and achieving the impossible, so allow me to take your vision, elevate it beyond your wildest dreams, and turn it into a reality. When you place your confidence in Ville Otis Interiors, you can expect open and transparent communication, along with a well-defined design process that will make your upcoming project a seamless and stress-free experience!
