Final Note to Stagers . . .

If you haven't acquired a supply of the consultation check list Guides, you're really missing out on a great, inexpensive tool to market and promote your consultation services. Stagers are finding it very helpful to show the Guides to the real estate agents when they present their services. Just show it to them. Don't give them a copy or you might get eliminated from the loop as happened to one unlucky stager. Use it to entice the agent and prove that you have a professional service of top value. No one else on the planet has a checklist as thorough as the one in Home Staging for Yourself. And if they tell you they have one, they got it from us! So don't short change yourself. Your competition is out there stepping up their game. You should too.

Speaking about competition, your biggest hurdle is convincing the homeowner to hire you. Your biggest competition is the homeowner, not other stagers. But in order to prove to them instantly that your service, and not just your service, but your consultation alone is valuable, you've got to be showing off the checklist guide. Think about it. If you were a homeowner standing in front of two stagers, and one had nothing in their hands to show you what they could do, and the other one had a professionally printed, 80 page booklet they were going to activate just for your home, which stager do you think you'd be most impressed with?

Many stagers (and their trainers) think that it's a good idea to do the consultation, go away, sit down at their computer and generate a proposal that way. Hogwash! We are in an on demand world, kids! Put yourself in that owner's shoes. Do you want to have to wait for the proposal? Do you want to have to wonder if you'll get anything back from the stager at all? I certainly wouldn't. Can you not see how powerful it is to have your booklet right there. You pull it out and casually display it. You tell them that you'll use it as part of their consultation and you'll even give it to them at the end of the appointment should they chose to do all of the labor themselves. It will help you remember everything you need to remember for your client's sake. Isn't that cool?

Can you not see them salivating to get a look at what's inside? Does that not instantly build huge value into your consultation services? If used properly, this is one of the absolute best marketing tools you will ever have - not only for you as a stager, but for your client as well, who expects to get top value for the fee they pay you.

And since you can buy them in small quantities for a discount of the retail price, and then turn around and pass that cost on to the client at a profit so you literally get them for free, and then you get more business as a result? Please! Does it get any better than that?

Professional home stagers may purchase the Guides at $12 each for 5 Guides or $10 each for 10 Guides for use with their own clients. Stagers may feel free to price the Guide to their clients for whatever price they choose, but should not give it away or sell it for less than $35. Please choose the appropriate link in the shopping cart based on your anticipated number of projects in a given period of time.

No matter how you look at it, these Guides give you the perfect value added product to market with your consultation so you never, ever come away empty handed.

They will represent you in a very professional manner. They are easy for a homeowner to follow. They are even easier for a stager to use as part of the consultation - whether they stop after the consultation or go on to provide full staging services.
