Hey everyone, welcome back to the last episode of our season 7. On today’s show, it’s a Q&A session. I have received a few questions from our listeners. Before we get started today, I just want to take the time and thank you for your support for this past season. As you may have heard me mention on the show, I’m studying full time for a master in photography this year. So at times, my schedule is very hectic and I have a lot on my plate. So I’m very grateful for your patience and kindness and support. I also want to take the time to thank the guests this season and previous seasons as well. It’s very difficult to take time during the busy season to come on the show, so I am very grateful for them to take time out of their busy days and come on the show.

I also have a couple quick announcement to make.

1. I’ll be speaking in Rome next Saturday for the IAHSP European Conference. I’ll be speaking about photography and portfolio. I will be putting my conference speech online, and a little bit more bonus content, so just be on the look out for the newsletter announcement when that goes live. 
2. Me and 9 other marketing experts, including Bobbie McGrath, one of our favorite guests on the podcast, in the home staging industry have gotten together and published a new book. It’s going to be available on Amazon.com on Monday, April 9th.  On Monday, April 9th, you will also be able to purchase an electronic copy of the book on Amazon.com for $2.99. The name of the book is Marketing: for the Staging and Design Industry.
3. For the next season, I am aiming to come back in June. If you have any suggestions on topics and guests, leave a comment on the show notes!
4. For those of you who are interested in joining the next live, 8-week business incubator, the 6-Figure Floor Plan, our next live class will start the first week of July. We will be opening the Early Bird enrollment in June.

Qs asked today: “What recommendations do you have if you want to get into the staging industry?” “Why do stagers work for wages instead of profits ? How can they plan to expand , buy new inventory? Do they know to add 35% to their job for profit to ensure growth. What if they were ill, how would they earn income and pay someone to do their work?” “Do you have any tips on how to get client to decide to go ahead with the actual stage?” “Any tips for storing lampshades to avoid them from getting banged up? Also - how do you organize your warehouse as far as aisles rows etc… just started using the staging assistant and it’s been a game changer! I’m a new regional manager for a staging company and I’m starting the process of organizing our warehouse!”
