Home Staging Training and More for the New Home Stager

No need to stumble your way through the marketing jargon or worry about how you’re going to snag that first home staging client, my friend. I’ve got you covered!

https://youtu.be/u__q835rJ74

You’ve done it! You’re now the proud owner of a Home Staging business. That’s wonderful, and you should be thrilled that you’ve taken the steps to turn your dream into a reality. Yay! So, what now? Well, achieving the home staging certification, getting the license, registering the business name, or opening the checking account are accomplishments, but those actions don’t magically make eager clients appear at your doorstep shouting, “here’s my house…stage it now, please!”.

That would be nice, wouldn’t it? You know, if the business just automatically came to us because we got some home staging training and education behind us, printed up beautiful business cards (with a snazzy business name, too), checked off the legal requirements, took a deep breath and got ready to conquer the world. Well, the world of home staging, anyway.

As a fresh, new owner of a home staging business there are more questions than answers, and at the top of the list is, “How in the world do I market myself, my business, to a client when I don’t have a portfolio of staged homes? Where’s the Home Staging Manual!?!”

Well, what if I told you, my friend, that I can show you not only how to get your home staging business off and running, but exactly how to create a real portfolio of staged projects, AND get raving reviews to go with them. Home staging training at it’s best!

Not only that (although just having those projects under your belt would be ah-mazing), I will share my secrets with you, those hard-earned jewels of home staging knowledge that I learned the l-o-n-g, slow way. Why should you have to stumble and bumble your way down the home staging business road when I’ve got the answers for you, based on my own successful six-figure company.

IVORY ROSE IS HERE FOR YOU TO ENSURE THAT YOUR FIRST CLIENT DOESN’T TAKE AS LONG AS MINE DID TO SNAG! MY HOME STAGING MISTAKES WILL BECOME YOUR VICTORIES, MY FRIEND.

I had the pleasure and great privilege to have had the opportunity to work for, learn from and be mentored by Candi Randolph for several years while she was in Southwest Florida providing excellent and much sought-after staging services through Simply Designed. She continues to be an incredible mentor and sounding board for me as I have begun my own staging firm here upon her move back north. I highly recommend her educational abilities and would encourage anyone thinking about staging as a business to utilize her program and services.

How to Start a Home Staging Business the Right Way

Snagging that first client or two is a huge hurdle to jump. Uncertainties about pricing, presentation, documentation, and marketing strategy muddy the already murky waters. Did I make home staging mistakes? Yep. Lots of them!

My story has a happy ending, though. I did indeed gain that first client, finally, and looking back on the project I can see how many mistakes I made with it! But I got through it, and eventually that 1 client became 2, then slowly I found a 3rd.

Over the next year projects and referrals increased, then snowballed and grew into a 6-figure income-producing business for me for several years, until I made the decision to relocate to a different part of the country.

I decided to sell the business and move to online-based income-producing ventures. But, I will always love home staging, and so I decided to create a business to help new home stagers start off on the right path, one that will get them moving forward with clients and a portfolio of staged properties much quicker than I experienced.

Marketing Magic for New Home Stagers

You need effective marketing materials in order to snag clients, and a huge pool of potential clients are “swimming around” in real estate offices. Yes, realtors are an ongoing source of possibilities for you, if you know how to market your home staging services to them.

Homeowners planning to list their home for sale are another source of potential clients for you, as are residential builders and investors.

You need to get in front of them, personally, digitally, or through email, market your services quickly and effectively, and then follow up consistently.

Let’s tackle this together!

The Ivory Rose Stage Like a Pro! Home Staging Training Package for new Home Stagers gives you the tools, insights and step-by-step guide to create a real portfolio of staged properties with glowing reviews from satisfied clients, as well as a strategy for growing your business with simple, proven techniques.

2) Home Staging Project Photos

A collection of Before and After photos from real home staging projects that I will give you permission to use in your marketing materials.
8 sets of before/after images
4 square images
4 vertical images

24 TOTAL IMAGES!

When my business was a fledgling “home staging baby” I desperately wanted professional-looking images to show the impact of home staging, and they were just not available to me.Sure, there were a few images offered as part of the resources from the staging certification site I had used, but they weren’t top notch and honestly, were pretty boring.

And of course, you can’t just go and use the pretty images from other sites, because we all know that’s illegal and just plain wrong. You’ll have the ability to use my images via the license I’ll provide, and they’ll help you immensely as you build your website, Facebook business page, social media marketing and more. Many people need to see the visual before they’ll truly understand a concept, and these before/after images will help you conquer that hurdle. And of course you won’t pass them off as your own, you’ll be using them as examples. It’s a win-win!

I worked with Candi on several design projects over the years. She was great with not only what the customer wanted, but also what the space needed. We could do “design on a dime” or the sky’s the limit in making a FABULOUS result. Her sense in knowing scale and color palette were immeasurable in creating the final result. Collaborating with her on projects was not only easy and fun, but certainly a win/win for all involved!

FAQ’s

Will I really be able to create a home staging portfolio?

Yes, you really will. I’ll show you how to think creatively and give you a detailed step-by-step process to follow. It will work for you!

Why would I want to use your staging project photos? They’re not mine.

While it’s true that the images are from my staging projects, you are not ‘passing them off’ as your own. You’ll be using them as examples of how a room can be transformed after professional home staging. And that will help prospective clients see and understand the benefits of proper home staging.
You will also be able to use these images for marketing purposes, following the permissions provided to you in the license to use them.

Won’t other home staging business owner be using these photos, too, if they purchase your package?

Sure, and that’s not a problem. Every stager will use these images in their own way, on their unique marketing platforms, in their own marketing area.
Plus, I periodically update the images offered to freshen up the file.

Why is this package so inexpensive?

Well, the simplest answer I can give you is this: I understand how hard it is to get started in the home staging business. Most new business owners don’t have a lot of money. I want you to be successful and give you a push in the right direction.
And, by making the cost very affordable I will be able to reach more people and put this package into their hands. It’s a win-win!

Do you have a money-back guarantee?

Absolutely. I believe you’re going to love the Stage Like a Pro home staging training package. But if you are not satisfied for any reason, just contact me at candi@candirandolph.com within 30 days of purchase and I will refund the price of the basic package.
Optional purchases are not refundable.

I’m not a new home stager, but my business has never gotten off the ground. Will your material help me?

Yes, it would be very beneficial for you! While you may be familiar with some of the material, I’m guessing that you’ll find most of it to be quite helpful if you’re motivated and serious about becoming a successful Home Stager.

I’m terrified of speaking in front of people. Will you scripts work for me?

While I can’t take away your jitters, I can provide you with a script that will read easily and naturally. As long as you prepare in advance you’ll do fine. It is general in nature, with the option for you to add specific services as you see fit.

How long will it take to receive these materials after I place my order?

You’ll receive everything offered in the Ivory Rose Marketing & Development package immediately after your payment is successfully processed. It will arrive in an email and all materials can be downloaded.
Your customized Home Staging Marketing Video will be created and sent to you via email within 72 hours of receipt of your company details. Most of the time we’ll be able to get it to you in less than 48 hours.

What do you offer through the Virtual Consulting Services? How do I pay for them?

I am quite flexible and can help you think through a project, set up your inventory system, review your marketing plan, or anything else you feel less than confident about.
We can have a telephone discussion, communicate via email, or a face-to-face on Skype/Messenger, etc.
You can order an hour at a time, 1 hour minimum, paid upfront through the Ivory Rose Consulting sales page. If you decide to purchase additional consultation time, I’ll bill you directly for that.

Do you guarantee I’ll be successful and make money as a home stager?

I don’t have control over your service area, the economy in your service area, and what you ultimately choose to say or do. I don’t have firsthand knowledge of your home staging skills, intuitiveness, and overall motivation.
So, I can’t guarantee your absolute success. But I can tell you that if you follow my tips, guidelines and suggestions as they are presented, you will set yourself up for a successful home staging career.
