I got a Los Angeles home staging job today, and it was one of the easiest jobs I have ever gotten. I did not know the agent - I had never worked with her or met her before. She got my name from another Realtor in her office who receives my email newsletter. This Realtor was looking for a home stager in Los Angeles because she was listing one of her own investment properties. She knew the fastest way to get it sold was to stage it.
What did I do to get this job so easily?
- I responded to the Realtor's email promtly
- I responded with the information she had requested
- I anticipated her additional questions and included that information in my response
- My response was professional - it came from a professional sounding email address Michelle@MovingMountainsDesign.com and I have a professional looking home staging website.
- I confirmed my appointment
- I showed up on time
I know this is why I got the job because she told me. As she handed me the deposit check, she said she had contacted other stagers regarding this job. I was the first one to respond and she was impressed with my professionalism and the fact that I had anticipated her questions. She appreciated my straightforward attitude - my company policies were clearly defined in my email. I won her trust.
I didn't get this job because I am the best home stager in Los Angeles. I got it because I responded promptly & professionally. It was that easy.
I am constantly astounded at how many jobs I get because other stagers didn't return emails or phone calls promptly, didn't show up on time or didn't present themselves professionally.
Want to get more home staging jobs?
- Respond to emails & phone calls promptly
- Respond professionally
- Anticipate questions
- Show up on time
- Show up prepared
Its that easy!
I'll be posting photos next week after we stage it.
