- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
**As I do work alone, for safety reasons, in-home appointments with male clients require a female acquaintance (of client) be present.** (If that is not possible, I can try to find someone on my end to attend) THE PROJECT PROCESS 1) Discuss with the client the details of the project and their unique vision and goals. 2) Determine if additional items and services are needed and what the budget will be for those items. In some cases that may not be apparent until we progress through the project. This can depend on how many items will be discarded or retained in the space, which cannot always be determined ahead of time. I can shop for those items or suggest items to be obtained by client at a later time. 3) Send an estimate if requested 4) Determine payment method 5) Set a date for the project 6) Proceed to MakeitBetter! 7) Send tips and tricks to client for ongoing organizational success! I take great care to limit the feeling of being overwhelmed during the project. My client friendly method employs a "little by little" approach, focusing on smaller groups of items at a time.
