Today I’m highlighting one of my favourite episodes that I’ve recorded for my podcast, The Productive Designer podcast.
I created this podcast for my fellow interior design professionals, to be the support you need to intentionally design your life and your interior design business.
Today’s featured episode (#12) is all about SOPs, aka standard operating procedures. Learn what they are, why they’re necessary, and how to create them for your interior design business.
Why You Need SOPs in Your Interior Design Business
If you’re an interior design professional, my podcast The Productive Designer could be a great help to you. In every episode, I spill all my secrets and best tips from being in this industry for nearly two decades. I also interview industry professionals who have amazing insights to share with our community.
One of my favourite episodes is one that I recorded solo, in which I talk about the importance of standard operating procedures (SOPs): what they are, why they’re necessary, and how to create them for your interior design business.
This episode is perfect if you’re wanting to learn how to delegate tasks to others, if you’re ready to bring on help, or if you’re wanting to keep a set order of tasks.
SOPs are a series of lists made to help keep consistency throughout your work, even if you’re not the one doing the task. They give continuity to your work and help reduce errors. Also, these step-by-step procedures allow the business owner to outsource more work, aiding in the onboarding of employees or consultants.
SOPs can be developed for meeting with clients, drawing packages, ordering processes, sourcing, contract preparations, and more. In this episode, I give you examples, tips, and tricks to take your business to the next level.
Join me on Episode 12 of The Productive Designer podcast and learn how SOPs can work for you and how to take full advantage of them in your business. Do something today that your future self will thank you for!
