2 July Webinar: The Studio Masterclass Paid Consultations
When the market feels a little tighter, the smartest move isn’t panic – it’s tightening your process, so your time is protected and every enquiry is handled professionally.
One of the biggest “quiet leaks” in a landscape design business is the first meeting: a quick chat that turns into unpaid advice, a fuzzy brief, and hours of follow-up before you can even quote.
Join this live masterclass to help you fix that with a simple, repeatable system.
Who this is for
This session is designed for LDI members who:
- are still doing first meetings for free (or too cheaply)
- find consults run long and drift into free advice
- want a clearer structure so the meeting feels calm and professional
- want clients to understand fees + next steps without awkwardness
Common pain points (you might recognise)
- The consult blows out… and you leave with a fuzzy brief
- You spend hours afterwards doing “just one more thing” before you can even quote
- The client feels the meeting was the service → fees become a surprise later
- You’re trying to be helpful – but it’s costing you time and profit
What you’ll learn (practical + usable)
- How to position the consult as a paid service (without sounding salesy)
- A quick desktop study / due diligence routine so you arrive prepared
- What to bring + a simple consult run-sheet that keeps the meeting on track
- The words to set expectations early and finish with clear next steps
Bonus: attendees will receive a FREE Paid Consultation Preparation checklist to use straight away.
