    Hi Sara, Two questions – 1. Did you purchase QuickBooks right out of the gate? Right now, I’m trying to keep fees minimal, and so I use excel spreadsheets. 2.
    I do not have a good plan in place for client purchase of furnishings… Any suggestions for taking payment for furnishings when I’m starting out? I plan to learn how to convey the value and sell furnishings. Thank you, Sara!

    Thank you Sara! Do your clients use Stripe to pay for furnishings as well – or do you have another method of payment for that? Thanks!

    Hi Sara, On the contact page of my website currently, I have a questionnaire embedded via SquareSpace. https://www.katherinejosephine.com/contact I’m trying to decide if I should remove it and incorporate a Typeform questionaire instead of this? As my time is limited, I’m trying to weigh the advantages of Typeform… When completed, the guest is led to a page that could contain a link to a calendar (Calendly).

    Sara – Thank you for encouraging relationships by prioritizing time for personal introductions, even though I wept through mine! I very much appreciate your “results-approach” to business and your genuine, engaging personality. Everything you presented today resonated. Lots of useful things to think about. This class will make a difference, and I am so very grateful!

    Hi Jenny, I’m planning to receive help with drafting by someone who uses a program called QuickCAD. Files can be saved as .CAD, .DWG, .DXF, and PDF’s. Will this be sufficient – or is AutoCAD work a requirement?
    Thanks!

    Hi, I’m learning already – thank you! How does an interior designer work effectively with someone CAD proficient in this business? Would the CAD drafter come out to the residence to measure and then draft the home’s floorplan? Or – does the interior designer generally take the measurements of each room and send them to the CAD drafter? Can elevations for this class be done in Home Builder Pro? Thanks!
