In 6 months, you'll master
- The proven sales process that converts inquiries into clients who respect your value
- Pricing formulas that turn wish-lists into signed design jobs
- Client conversations that position you as the trusted expert (not the "pillow-fluffer")
- Budget discussions that expand project scope instead of shrinking your fees
- The confidence to lead every kind of job (furniture, remodel, or new construction) from concept to completion
You're a talented and hardworking designer, but you're tired of fighting for every dollar...
Does this sound familiar?
… You love design, you’re building a client base, but every project feels like a negotiation.
… You’re constantly explaining your value, dealing with scope creep, and wondering if you should just accept lower fees to keep the work flowing.
… You know you’re capable of more, but between underpricing jobs and spending too much time on client management, you’re working harder than ever for results that don’t match your effort.
What if you had a clear system for pricing, presenting, and protecting your profit on every single job?
Imagine walking into every client meeting knowing exactly how to scope the work, present your fee with confidence, and guide clients through their budget decisions without drama or pushback.
Picture having clients who respect your process, value your expertise, and gladly pay premium fees because they understand the transformation you’re creating for their space.
That’s exactly what our new 6-month coaching program will give you.
Introducing Snapshot: Your 6-month roadmap to pricing mastery
Snapshot is a complete implementation program designed for interior designers who are ready to stop winging it and start leading with authority
Over 6 months, you’ll master the proven systems that turn every client conversation into a confident, professional exchange — plus the scripts to keep it calm and drama-free.
You’ll walk away with:
- Word-for-word scripts for every pricing conversation
- Foolproof formulas to clearly define the scope of any design job
- The confident mindset that comes from knowing exactly what to say and when
- A clear process that positions you as the expert for ideal clients from day one
This is the foundation every successful design business needs — and the exact systems that have helped thousands of IDBA designers transform their practices.
Stop letting pricing confusion hold your business back
Most design jobs go sideways before they even start — here’s how to take control
Snapshot gives you complete systems and word-for-word scripts so you can confidently guide prospects from first contact to signed contract, develop an accurate scope, present fees with authority, and win better projects with clients who respect your process.
The Four Systems You'll Master:
System 1 — From First Contact to Signed Contract: Your Sales Confidence Roadmap
Master every client conversation from initial inquiry to signed agreement with proven scripts and processes.
Outcome: Convert more prospects into paying clients who value your expertise from day one.
Removes: Awkward money conversations, fear around asking for fees, uncertainty about what to say when, and prospects who ghost you or push back on pricing.
System 2 — Bulletproof Budgets for Furniture/Interior Design Jobs
Outcome: Transform client wish-lists into bulletproof budgets with fees that reflect the true value of your work.
Removes: Endless revisions, scope creep surprises, and that sinking feeling when you realise you’ve undercharged again.
(This also means no more presenting a design to the client and having them fall on the floor because you haven’t had the money conversation first…)
System 3 — Revealing Real Costs for Remodeling Jobs
Outcome: Lead remodel budgeting conversations with authority and present fees that account for real project complexity.
Removes: Contractor sticker shock, budget blame games, construction overruns that steal your furnishings budget, and jobs that fall apart when reality hits.
System 4 — The Project Pipeline for New-Build Construction Jobs
Outcome: Master the art of multi-phase fees for new construction and project leadership from foundation to final styling.
Removes: Multi-phase fee fear, adding on unpaid services, or the chaos of constant do-overs and changes-of-mind.
Master these systems, and you’ll never again wonder if you’ve quoted the right fee or worry about a project going sideways…
Instead of this...
- Charging a couple of hours here and there and feeling like you've sold yourself short
- Feeling fear and trepidation around asking for money
- Working with clients who drain your energy and don't value your work
- Not knowing if you'll be able to pay yourself each month
You'll have this...
- Presenting substantial design fees based on the true scope of work
- A strong, confident money mindset that allows you to charge what your work is worth
- Incredible clients who respect your process and recommend you to their friends
- Consistent cash flow and a generous paycheck each month
Who is Snapshot for?
This 6-month program is designed for working interior designers who are ready to level up their pricing and client leadership
You're a perfect fit if:
- You've been in business at least 1-3 years and have clients (or a pipeline of prospects)
- You're ready to stop the hourly hustle and present strong, clear design fees that are easily large enough to get the job done
- You want to be the calm, confident professional clients trust to guide their project
- You're tired of jobs that seem to go on forever, and you’re ready to lead jobs with clear boundaries and finish lines
- You want proven, repeatable systems instead of trying to figure everything out alone
You’re not quite ready if:
- You don't have any clients yet, or you're just starting to explore design as a career. (Snapshot meets you where you are with the clients you have.)
While others hesitate, smart designers are taking action
Right now, there’s a quiet separation happening in the design industry.
Rising costs, tariffs, supply chain shifts, and economic uncertainty have some designers pulling back and playing it safe.
But here’s what we’re seeing: the designers who step forward during uncertain times — the ones who invest in systems and skills while others wait — are the ones who come out stronger.
They’re not just surviving the changes, they’re using this moment to build unshakeable foundations that serve them for years to come.
The question is: will you be one of them?
Meet your coach, Terri Taylor
ASID, NKBA, IIDA, IDS, NCIDQ (and more than 35 years of design business experience, distilled into systems that actually work)
Over three decades ago, I started my interior design business as a single practitioner and built it into an award-winning, multi-million-dollar company.
I made every mistake in the book — underpricing jobs, struggling with difficult clients, working way too many hours for too little profit. I learned the hard way what works and what doesn’t.
Now I focus on helping designers like you avoid those same costly mistakes.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve coached thousands of designers to build profitable businesses without the overwhelm.
I’m known as a straight-talking expert when it comes to the business side of design. My programs give you the exact systems and scripts that work in real client situations.
The result? Designers who master these fundamentals go on to build six and seven-figure businesses with confidence and ease.
So, if you’re ready to stop struggling with pricing and start leading your business with authority, Snapshot will give you exactly what you need.

The Snapshot Double Guarantee
We’re so confident that we’re giving you the boldest guarantee we’ve ever offered at Interior Design Business Academy.
#1 The 15-Day Vibe Check Guarantee
Jump into the program. Join our calls. Meet the coaches. Watch the training sessions.
If, within the first 15 days, it doesn’t feel like the most exciting, clearly explained and powerfully supported designer “lead to contract” sales systems and game-changing money making training you’ve ever joined, just email us.
We’ll refund you 100% — no hassle, no questions.
#2 The End-of-Program Profitable Design Job Guarantee
Take the full journey with us. Go through the training, learn from Terri, and apply just a little of what you learn.
At the end of 6 months, if you don’t feel you’ve gained massive clarity, systems, and the strategies to create at least one very profitable design job that pays you more than the cost of this program…
… We will provide you with an extra 2 to 4 months of coaching to ensure that you get that job.
During those extra months, to make sure you experience the transformation into a designer who is “paid what she is worth”, here’s all we ask:
- Attend ALL of the live Q & A/Laser Coaching calls.
- Review Module 1 and at least one of the Design Pricing Trainings: Furniture (Module 2), Remodeling (Module 3) or New Construction (Module 4).
- Bring at least one client job opportunity to Terri to help you in setting a fee based on an agreed upon budget, writing a professional Letter of Agreement with deliverables and boundaries included, and actually presenting and asking for the job and the money.
If after your extra months in our program you have not signed a contract that pays you more than the cost of this program — we’ll give you every penny back.
That’s it. It’s easy. Because we don’t want inaction to rob you of results.
Why We Do This
No other high-ticket program dares to offer this kind of guarantee.
But we believe Snapshot is the best designer “lead-to-signed-and-funded Letter of Agreement” training in the world. And we want to remove every ounce of risk from your decision.
We carry the risk. You carry the reward.
