Taking Before & After Photos

One of the most important parts of your job might be the before and after photos! Illustrating the great work you have done will not only delight your clients, but also be a great way to build a portfolio to show prospective clients.

Things To Keep In Mind

The more positive you can be with your own attitude, the more your client is likely to have a positive, willing attitude and be confident in your ability to help them achieve their goals. Keeping everything in a good balance is always sound advice and is applicable to your work as a professional organizer as well!

Following Up With Leads

Now that a prospective client has expressed they’re interested in your organizing services, you want to reel them in! Great customer service, or client service rather, goes a long way. Be available and reachable, so you can land that job!

Office & Supplies

Home offices, or computer work stations, are notorious for getting and being out of control. In this video, we’re going to discuss how to organize the desk, electronics, and office supplies.

First Conversation

Regardless of how a potential client finds and contacts you, you want to be prepared, empathetic, professional and pleasant. When you treat your clients like friends, they will be more receptive to opening their homes and their lives to you, and you will be more likely to establish a great working relationship that can turn into long term work and […]
