You're invited to 3 Secrets for Pricing Furniture for Success event, presented by Heather McManus!

Date: Wednesday, September 24, 2025
Time: 1:00pm EST

Ready to increase your furniture profits without sacrificing client trust or getting undercut by the internet? Join Heather McManus for a game-changing session where you'll learn three powerful strategies to price confidently, present estimates your clients will love, and build trust that keeps them from shopping you. Whether you're new to furniture sales or a seasoned pro, this webinar will give you the tools and clarity you need to make double—or even triple—the profit per project.

What You'll Learn:
✨ Why the old markup model doesn’t work anymore
✨ How to shift to a retail-discount pricing model clients understand
✨ Tips for presenting full-service quotes (and avoiding freight freak-outs)
✨ Communication strategies that build lasting client trust
✨ How TDC helps designers access over 300 vendors at the best pricing tiers

Who This Is For:
Interior designers who are tired of low margins, client price shopping, or feeling unsure about how to sell furniture profitably.
