You have an incredible gift for design but you just haven’t been able to crack those BIG fees
And you’re sick of watching others land the jobs and clients you’d LOVE to have
THE TRUTH IS …
It’s time to win more high–fee design jobs, create more profit, and have way more free time
01
Charge what you’re actually worth instead of just a couple of hours here and there.
02
Present a substantial design fee that’s based on a budget the client has agreed to and a true scope of work.
03
Have a strong, confident mindset, backed up with a clear, step-by-step recipe that creates a win-win outcome for both you and your client.
You can become a high-paid designer and create a successful business that generates consistent sales and an endless stream of referrals
Design Biz Summit 2023 is your chance to learn how to position yourself to be highly profitable doing what you love
This is for the designer who’s ready to STOP trading dollars-for-hours and step into leveraging their business.
With fee-based design services, you can make a significant difference in the lives of far more people while being well-paid.
But you need to learn the right strategies and brain hacks that will make charging those BIG fees feel graceful and effortless.
By attending this 3-day online event, you’ll get that and SO MUCH more.
In fact, you’ll discover the freedom and fulfillment you’ve always wanted in your business…
"Wow! My business has TRANSFORMED in one year. I went from a one-woman show doing one-room designs and selling blocks of time for $150/hr to landing a $95K fee project with a dream architect. I’m in so much shock with what I’ve achieved. Now we are booking out and getting deposits to hold spots in our calendar, I’ve hired my first employee and have another great consultant on the team. All while becoming a mom for the first time!”
– Sarah Allen, Interior Designer

“I have to let you know how excited I am about what you’re doing for designers and our whole industry. Mastering design fees and pricing is critical in so many ways. Just this week you were in my ears when I was going to send a proposal to a client that I knew would be a little high. Also, this week I received a referral for consulting and was again hearing your voice and went for a higher number than ever before. In both cases I succeeded in closing the deal! Even after many years as a designer I needed encouragement and a reminder of my value.”
– Barbara Kaplan, Interior Designer
Design Biz Summit isn’t just about telling you to “charge more”…
Summit is where you learn the business strategy AND do the inner work that allows you to shift into the abundant, confident, well-paid designer you’re destined to be.
IN 3 DAYS YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO:
Prepare a ‘Budget on the Fly’ for a design or furniture job and what an Exploratory Offer is — and why your client will be thrilled that you’re doing this for them (and the many, many ways YOU will benefit.)
Eliminate costly re-do and re-design time surprises by always having a client budget agreement on any new job before committing to a fee and starting to design.
Clearly and confidently ask for what you want, including big-dollar furniture, new-build and remodeling jobs, and the higher fees that go with them.
Base your design fee on a REAL agreed-upon budget that includes all the high-end furniture, finishes, and fixtures your client wants.
Improve your time management and boundaries to ensure that you’re able to complete the job in the number of hours your design fee provides.
Create a Letter of Agreement that helps manage the job for you, describing how many meetings, how many space plans, how many specification options, even the date the design plan will be completed. (No more jobs that run on forever!)
Put the right strategy in place so you always get to complete the whole interior design/furnishings part of the new-build or remodeling job and never lose it to the construction overruns.
AND...
Understand your wealth consciousness and how to keep your old money stories out of your client’s jobs (stop believing your clients can’t afford it… it’s not true).
Limit your time around nay-sayers and negative feedback so you can propel your business forward.
Step into a higher level of yourself, so you can take on larger design jobs with confidence.
In just 3 days, the business dreams that seemed out of reach will start to materialize…
… you’ll be on your way to becoming the highly paid, highly sought-after designer you’ve always wanted to be.
“I can’t believe this is my business. I work so much less and am not stressed out over every second of my day being efficient due to the headache of documenting each hour so I can be sure to be paid. I have signed 4 new contracts in the past month, including a fee of $20k for new construction, and today a kitchen remodel for a fee of $14,500. Many thanks for all of your great guidance, insight and big brain.”
– Casey Brand, Interior Designer

“I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the recent Summit! I laughed and cried as we delved deep into the psychology of issues that hold us back from success. Here’s the big news; I went on a consultation 2 days after Summit. The potential client assumed $100k for the budget. In the next moments, I calculated my fee based on my estimated budget for construction. I started by letting her know that I didn’t want her to encounter any surprises and I let her know that my fee would be $20K. Within 4 hours she contacted me to move forward!”

“Summit was just outstanding! I have waited my whole life to find a client management, billing and fee system like IDBA’s. Complex system, so clearly presented. I’m looking forward to practicing it. Over the weekend I had a new client inquiry phone call that I plan to return this morning. I am studying my IDBA notes before picking up the phone.”
– Katie Eastridge, Interior Designer
Hi, I’m Terri Taylor
And here’s why it’s ESSENTIAL for you to attend the 2023 Summit
After more than 10 years of mentoring, teaching, and guiding design professionals, I am even more certain that:
- Your results and success as an interior designer are a direct and irrefutable reflection of your inner beliefs.
- Your income and the level of client and design jobs you attract is a direct reflection of what you believe will (and expect to) happen.
Unless you work on this, you’ll be up against yourself and your money stories, over and over again…
Always with the same lackluster results.
IT’S TIME FOR THAT TO CHANGE
“Since working with you, I’ve learned so much about how my attitude to money affects how much I earn. And I would say that my income has doubled. Before, I was probably making 50 – 60K net, now I haven’t made less than six figures for the last four years.”
– Barbara Bell, High-End Interior Designer

Have questions?
We want you to have all the information you need to join us for this incredible 3-day event that will revolutionize your design business.
We’ve answered the most common questions below, but if there’s something else you need to know, please email our team at admin[AT]idbacademy.com and we’ll get back to you.
The Design Biz Summit is happening Monday, November 13 to Wednesday, November 15, 2023; 11AM – 7PM EST.
All sessions will be held virtually, so make sure you turn off any and all distractions and come prepared to participate in the breakouts and take tons of notes.
This event is for design professionals of all ages and stages who are ready to play a bigger game and make more money.
If you’re a designer who’s motivated to make big changes in your business, and ready to move outside your comfort zone to create meaningful success and more freedom in your personal life – this event is perfect for you.
In just 3 days, we’re going to show you how to attract high-end clients with bigger budgets to bring in the income you deserve.
“I am all Fired UP and IGNITED! Thank you Terri for being ALL IN for us and for providing such an AMAZING 3 days, chock full of all sorts of ‘aha’s’, inspiration, and solid gold, tried & true, practical tools that I immediately began implementing the moment you shared them! I feel so hopeful, grounded and supported! Wow, wow, WOW! You and the rest of the rockstar members of Team IDBA have always been there for me and I am 100% committed and ALL IN for our next steps together!”
– Robin Heard, Interior Designer
Imagine if you could feel fired up and inspired by your design business too…
Imagine if you could relax in the confidence of a system that gives you the specific steps to gracefully charge BIG design fees…
Imagine if you could confidently quote your client what the job is REALLY worth and present fees that are 3X, 5X, or even 10X what you currently charge…
Imagine if you were so sure of yourself when you handed over that fee agreement that it was as easy as saying, “pass the salt”.
You won’t have to imagine it for much longer.
That could be your reality after implementing what you learn at Design Biz Summit 2023.
“After Summit I had such a positive, energizing feeling about myself as a designer and the possibility of what my business can be, that it almost seemed like a dream!! I cannot thank you enough for providing such a wonderful forum for interior designers to participate in the community and appreciate the gifts we provide each other as well as our clients. I bonded so closely with several other designers that it felt like we had been friends for such a long time!”
– Karen L. Johnson, Interior Designer

You can overhaul your interior design business in 3 days, but…
Your EGO is going to come up with a ton of reasons for you to NOT attend.
Your family. Your clients, jobs, the installs. The timing.
These very rational excuses are just your ego doing everything it can to keep you in the same place you are now and maintain the status quo. That’s its job.
But, what you also need to know is that the only way you break through is to COMMIT to doing whatever it takes to achieve the life, clients, and jobs you want.
It is easy to say, “I’m not ready,” or “I’m gonna figure this out on my own,” or “I’m not sure if this is exactly right for me.” It’s your ego’s way of bargaining with your future and saying, “Oh, I’ll do it next time.”
The resistance you may be experiencing to join us in November is the exact evidence telling you NOW is YOUR time to breakthrough and attend.
