Tricky Client Requests? How to Set Boundaries & Refine Your Policies

"Can I pay at closing?"

If that question and a dozen others like it sound familiar, this episode provides practical solutions for handling “sticky” client requests in your staging business. 

Often, we are tied between maintaining professional boundaries while building strong client relationships. For new stagers especially, these requests often turn into self evaluations and comparison thoughts, arising from not knowing whether our “NO”s are driving our clients into the arms of other stagers who are at their beck and call.

Yet, beyond the instant people - pleasing joy, for stagers like yourself who want to build successful businesses, how we handle such situations are foundational. 

Whether you're wrestling with inventory purchase requests or fighting the urge to price match competitors, I share applicable tips and strategies that can help transform those difficult client conversations into opportunities for business growth.

• Real-world scripts for handling tough client negotiations
