3 Essential Things All Florists Must Know

There are 3 Essential Things All Florists Must Know.

In addition to floral design you must be able to master the following:

1. How to attract clients who are eager to work with you.
2. How to close the sale to book the gig.
3. How to turn a profit on every order you make.

Talented floral designers still have to develop your marketing and sales skills, too.


Click to watch my July 7 Live Q&A: What to focus on in your business right now!

Focus on your core to set yourself up for success. And if you need help leveling-up, let’s work together!


Have you heard about The Art of Good Business?

In the month of January, we’ll revamp your website to increase engagement, walk through ways to streamline your sales and booking process, and tell the story of your personal brand in a more compelling way.
Imagine stopping price shoppers in their tracks and finding more clients who are excited to book with you!

Click to Enroll!


Here’s what some of my students have accomplished over the last few months…

  • Added their own personal voice to About page so it expresses their real life experience and awesomeness.
  • Identified new income streams and how they can position their existing clients to upgrade.
  • One floralpreneur® went from a 1 page website to a professionally designed new website with some strategic help from me–as well as monthly blog prompts, a new contact form, and clear messaging designed to attract more customers who are eager to book.
  • All of my students have new branding confidence with refreshed website copy, streamlined sales systems to book clients quickly, and social media prompts designed to help them speak to the hearts of their ideal customers!

Are you ready to be the next success story?

Join the January Live Session of The Art of Good Business Today! We begin Jan. 8th!

It could cost you $30,000 to hire a branding expert!

…but you don’t need to be a branding expert to develop your brand…

and you don’t need thousands of followers to have a good brand, either!

However, you do need to dig deep to understand what having a “good brand” means to your customers so that you can create a marketing strategy that works for your unique business goals.

With love from me to you,
