All graduates of the Staging Diva Training Program are asked to complete a survey about their training and I am especially proud of the results I’ve been seeing of late. There’s one statistic in particular I feel is important to share:
20% of those who enroll in the Staging Diva program have already completed a training program that did not meet their needs.
If you’re planning to invest in a home staging training program, you must know whether or not the program you’ll take will give you the skills you need to actually operate a successful home staging business, in other words, find out if the program you choose will teach you how to make money.
I receive so many emails and phone calls from stagers who have come from other programs that this number doesn’t surprise me. The people I hear from have no idea how to get clients or how to properly charge for their services. This is because other home staging training programs focus on the design aspect of becoming a stager rather than the business side.
Staging Diva Graduates learn how to run a successful staging business so instead of having a hobby, they end up learning how to actually get clients and make money from their decorating talents.
Nobody wants to waste money, especially in this economy, so it’s important to do lots of research when choosing a training program. You don’t want to be faced with disappointment in the end when you realize you don’t have the skills you need to make a living doing what you’d dreamed of.

I believe the answer to that question first needs to be confirmed that the “student” knows what they need or lack. If they already have the creative ability (or instinct) then your program is fantastic to help them get a business going. If they are looking for step by step instructions on how to decorate, I don’t know if there is any program out there to help them. You are very honest and up front and tell people your program is to train about starting or enhancing a staging business so, as long as they take the time to read what the courses are – then sign up and take them – the hardest part is building the client base.
