Profitable Purchasing with Heather McManus from The Designers Collaborative

Where does the most potential for profit lie in design jobs? Purchasing.

If you’re not sure how to get your purchasing profits up, you’re in luck. Let me introduce you to our guest for this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, Heather McManus. Heather is the creator and CEO of The Designers Collaborative and she knows pretty much everything there is to know about profitable purchasing in the design world.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to find vendors you want to work with, spend less time trying to find the perfect pieces for your designs, and make a higher profit on your purchases. You’ll also find out how a buying collaborative works and why I think it’s the thing that’s been missing from the design industry.
