The Secret to More Interior Design Referrals

What if one happy client didn’t just mean a beautiful portfolio photo — but also became the gateway to three more dream projects? That’s the power of a referral strategy for designers that actually works.

In this episode, I'm sharing why most interior design referrals don’t happen by chance — and how to move beyond “word of mouth” into a system that brings you consistent, pre-qualified leads.

Inside the episode, you’ll hear:

  • The real numbers behind where interior design referrals come from.

  • How to turn past clients into your most powerful referral network.

  • Why giving away free consultations doesn’t equal profit — and what to do instead.

  • The timing (and script) that makes asking for referrals feel natural, not salesy.

I'm also kicking things off with a round of Two Truths and a Lie about referrals in the design industry — and you may be surprised at which one is false.

If you’ve been wondering how to get more design clients without burning out or relying on chance, this episode is a must-listen.
