We invite you to have a listen as the tea gets spilled on The McCain Method Podcast with John McCain and Heather McManus: https://www.mcclainmethod.com/podcast
In this episode of The McCain Method, Heather McManus, the Founder and CEO of The Designers Collaborative, is a guest on the well-acclaimed podcast. Tune in for a great conversation on what holds interior designers back from reaching their goals, and what to do about it.
Hear how everything from sourcing fears, pricing pushback from clients, the impact that the internet has had on interior designers, and so much more is discussed in this jam-packed episode of the podcast. It is the real talk you come to expect from John McCain in this honest, no-holds-bar podcast.
Heather shares the story of why she started a second business, The Designers Collaborative, or TDC for short, to begin with in this episode. Heather explains that it all kicked off with being internet shopped by an ideal client that led her to form a buying group with five fellow interior designers nearly a decade ago. That is now over 500 Members and growing, with over 300 vendors offered at the best possible price tiers so designers can finally compete with the internet! TDC is coming up on its 10-year anniversary, and that is truly impressive!
