You Are a Superhero!



I wanted to take a moment to check in with you and see how you are doing.   I want to hear from you.  Are things going fabulously well?  Wonderful, I want to hear all about your success!!  Are you feeling stuck, and not sure which direction to take or what resources could help you get unstuck?  I'm here, how can I support you in your launch or growth of your organizing business?

If you are just starting your business or contemplating to start an organizing business, guess what?  It's a great time to be a Professional Organizer!  Everywhere I look, Professional Organizing is in the news.  Did you happen to see this episode of CBS News, Making a clean sweep: Decluttering Your Life?  What great press for our industry!

NAPO's Public Opinion Survey where, in response to the question what is a professional organizer, respondents replied, "A kind of superhero whose ability to improve lives cannot be overstated."  I love that!  A superhero!!  And, the top three reasons someone hires a Professional Organizer are (1) recommendations and reputation, (2) personality compatibility, and (3) skills, knowledge, and expertise.

We can help you gain the skills, knowledge, and expertise to not only work with clients but equally important to launch and grow a profitable business.  If you would like to learn more about how we can help you get started, call me.  I have grown my business with twelve distinct streams of revenue.  If you would like to learn how to add streams of revenue to your business, let me know.

Professional Organizers are Starting Their Career Younger!

Blessing McKenzie I had the fantastic opportunity to have Blessing McKenzie, a high school Junior, job shadow me yesterday.     Blessing is considering a career as a professional organizer!     I think that speaks volumes to where our industry is headed.     She also interviewed me for her school project and agreed to let me blog about her questions and my answers. What are some of the biggest challenges that you face for this job? If you are a business owner, I would say the biggest challenge you face is finding clients, or rather clients finding you.  That’s the simple answer.  The fact is, the biggest problem is having the education and experience to work with chronically disorganized (CD) clients. What is one thing that surprised you about this career? What surprised me about this career was discovering people are chronically disorganized rather than situationally disorganized.  When I first started my career, I thought I woul...

Communicating Your Value

If you have attended my Professional Organizer Training and Education Program webinar or seminar you know the underlying message I repeat over and over is the importance and impact of communicating your value to your client. I came across this video of Don Hutson on the subject of selling your value. It reiterates what I say and more. Bottom line, if you clearly communicate your value, your client will pay your price. Your client's perceived value of your service must be equal to or greater than your price. For example here is what a client of mine said after working with me, "It’s amazing; my desk is no longer a catchall. Nobody touches this space except me now—before I was the only one who didn’t use this space. I can find any piece of paper I am looking for and I know where to file paper when I receive it. I am so appreciative of Anne, I can’t say that enough. She coached me through the entire process. I feel so much calmer now that I can make decisions and manage...

ASK THE TRAINER

Question: Hi Anne, The training program manuals are great ‘after training’ references. I have been reviewing the information and I have a question about the actual work with clients. I understand the "30 second hook" has the first phase as the complimentary needs assessment.... Is this done over the phone or in the client's house? Has there been a commitment to use your services at this point? Actually onsite certainly allows for better assessment but this could get expensive if they don't follow through. What are you thoughts on how this is usually handled? Answer: Good question. First of all, the needs assessment doesn’t need to be complimentary. Second, the assessment can be done other than on-site. You can do assessments by phone, e-mail, web site form, in person, or however you choose. I would suggest you do all of your assessments onsite until you are comfortable with the needs assessment questions and have performed enough onsite assessments to understand wha...
