Key Takeaways

✦

Implement a structured design and development schedule to keep projects on track and ensure timely completion of key milestones.

✦

Set clear expectations with clients from the outset, emphasizing that most decisions and selections will be finalized before physical work begins to prevent issues and maintain project flow.

✦

Conduct weekly meetings with clients (in-person or via Zoom) during the design phase to review progress, make decisions, and keep the project moving forward.

✦

Adopt a 'Book A Meeting From A Meeting' (BAMF) approach, always scheduling the next touchpoint before concluding the current one to ensure continuous momentum.

✦

Manage your design and development capacity carefully, avoiding taking on too many projects simultaneously to ensure adequate attention and faster progression for each client.

✦

Simplify client decision-making by offering a curated selection of 3-5 options for fixtures and materials, rather than overwhelming them with too many choices.

✦

Utilize screen recording tools like Loom or Zoom Clips for quick, visual updates and questions to clients, facilitating faster feedback and reducing communication delays between meetings.
