Confidence is my best secret weapon as a successful Professional Home Stager, absolutely! Fortunately, I am truly confident in my talent and skills, largely due to my Staging Diva business course, which went a long way to catapulting me to success. I had the talent I knew, but the business savvy…maybe not so much. Now, I have both and have been successful for long enough to believe it. Thanks, Debra!

Too true Debra I couldn’t agree more. However it’s convincing hubby after another restyle and colour at the hair salon and $150 later; and convincing the accountant when they see these clothes shops cropping up on your receipts! Oh the things we have to do in the persuit of persuading that first impressions are paramount. Seriously though how can you possibly advice on a properties presentation, appeal and impression, if you cant get it right on your own person. Great article Debra!
July 15th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Debra, It’s all about first impressions . How could we ever expect a potential client to hire us if we did’nt look the part. In fact in one of my first presentations to a group of agents , I used myself as an example of how staging works. I dressed the part and believe me it made a difference !!! I made that first impression and my phone began ringing. I truly attribute my success as a stager to you and the Staging Diva Courses . Once again, great article and thanks for sharing.
