What separates the average design studio consultant from a Design Studio Rockstar?

Hard-won experience? Buckets of charisma? In-depth product knowledge and expertise?

These qualities are all important…

But what really sets Design Studio Rockstars apart from the rest?

Design Studio Rockstars know that the key to selling more is to serve more.

A Rockstar leverages the power of emotion, buyer identity and world-class customer experience — in order to create a win-win situation for both the customer and the builder.

A Rockstar understands how to use proven consumer psychology and rapport-building techniques to develop trust, and help new home buyers make empowered choices about where to invest their money.
A Rockstar knows exactly how to give customers the personalized service they deserve and crave in order to say YES to the options that fit their unique design preferences and lifestyle needs.
And, most importantly of all…


Design Studio Rockstars understand exactly how to
manufacture desire inside the design studio…

… And how to harness the hidden desire that already exists inside every new home buyer.

In fact… if you want your design studio to deliver:

  • More option sales

  • Higher profits

  • Incredible value and an unforgettable customer experience

… then learning how to manufacture and harness the forces of desire is
one of the most powerful skills that a design studio consultant can possess.

And here’s why:

If you’ve ever thought that your customers don’t want to “spend” more money…
Then you’re completely right. (Sorry for the anti-climax.)

But here’s
what you
may not
know:

The profile of the American consumer is changing.

Today’s buyers are better educated, more sophisticated, better traveled, more adventurous and more discerning than ever before.

Today’s new home buyers in particular crave control, choice and the opportunity to invest in options that respond and cater to their personal preferences and needs.

(And they’ve got the buying power and discretionary income to prove it.)

As for the Design Studio Rockstars who know how to uncover their customers’ unmet needs and present investment options that tap into the forces of emotion, desire and personal identity?

Ground-breaking sales and profits are theirs for the taking.

Fact: 53 % of consumers (in the United States and similar mature markets) say their inclination toward purchasing luxury products has increased in the last 5 years.

Fact:  68% of consumers say it is important to them to buy the latest trendy products and when asked WHY they buy luxury products, 88% said because of premium quality.

Deloitte Luxury Multicountry Survey

Fact: Even in periods when housing value decreases… trends show that people continue to invest in premium discretionary purchases — independent of the current political, social and economic climate.

Why you can trust us to help you revolutionize how you serve your
design studio clients and sell more options:
Hi. I’m Jane Meagher, founder and president of Success Strategies. Since 2002, we’ve helped hundreds of builders in 42 states streamline their operations, delight customers and sell more options through our consulting, training and sold-out national events and conferences.

We are the undisputed national experts on design studio creation, strategy and training. We deeply understand the unique problems and concerns that builders face every day. In fact – we’ve experienced them first-hand.

Before founding Success Strategies, I sold homes and ran marketing for builders. During this time, I received the prestigious Rookie of the Year Award while working as a Salesperson for K. Hovnanian Companies, for “Excellence in Selling”.

Since then, Success Strategies has won over 24 National Awards for “Best Design Center” from NAHB. I have been a featured speaker at NAHB’s International Builder Show for over 15 years and continue to lecture at several major industry events.

Our clients have gone on to increase their design studio profit by as much as 20 to 50 percent and higher. Success Strategies lives and breathes design studio strategy — there’s nothing else we do, and nobody else does it like us.

I’ve taken my 25+ years of experience in the building industry (plus the last 16 years as the nation’s design studio expert) and packaged it up into an action-focused 2-day training event: to help builders leverage the untapped power of their design studio… and to show design studio professionals exactly how to up-serve their customers to sell more options with ease.

“Jane is such an inspirational speaker! It was an amazing opportunity and I am excited to integrate those great concepts with my team.”

– Kate Heath, Design Center Manager, Edge Homes
