In Just 5 Days Become a Certified Interior Redesigner/Home Staging Professional
Without Spending Years In Expensive Schools!
You’ve
seen their popular television shows on HGTV. You’ve
read their interviews and been awed by their makeovers in
magazines. They are Interior Redesigners / Home Stagers and the demand for
their expertise and creativity is expanding at a record pace.
For just a moment I’d
like for you to clear your mind and IMAGINE…
- Building your own
successful business – doing what you love and getting
PAID for it.
- Using your creativity
and flair for decorating to give properites on the market that 'model home' feeling and boosting their sales potential by thousands of dollars.
- Transforming people’s
homes into show-stoppers – in just a matter of hours.
Is This Possible? It’s Happening Right
Now – To People Who Are Certified Professional
Redesigners and Home Stagers!
Hi, my name is Marcia
Smart. I am you. Well, I'm not exactly
you, but I can tell you and I think alike! Let me
guess…
- You've not had any formal
design training, but you know what you like, right?
Me too!
- You probably look through
all the decorating magazines, watch all the decorating programs
on TV and have your husband telling you to "turn
off those crazy programs and come to bed." Sound
familiar? Me too!
- You have no problem giving
friends advice on how to decorate their homes, and when
you get the chance you even put your creative talent to
work in your own home. Waddya know? Me too!
Are you one
of those fortunate people who were blessed with the ability
to turn their hobby into a business? I am. And
you can be too!
I'm sure you've
thought about what it would be like to earn a solid income
decorating other people's homes and advising them on transforming
their living space into the home of their dreams. Imagine,
rearranging everyone's "stuff" and getting paid
for it. Pure heaven!
If
you’re like a lot of people, who have no formal training
in this area, you may be afraid that a career as a professional
Interior Redesigner or Home Stager is reserved for those who have fancy degrees
or years of decorating experience.
Guess what? Not only am I going
to show you that you CAN take your creative instincts and
decorating talent and turn it into a successful
full-or-part-time career, but I’m ALSO
going to show you how you can do it in five days!
Smart “School
of Interior Redesign”
Is For You If…
- You’ve ever been told
you have a real "flair" for interior
decorating or staging
- You’ve ever seen a
makeover in a magazine or on television and said, “I
can do that!”
- You want a turnkey business
that can earn you $50 to $200 an hour
- You want to break into the
design industry without extensive training
-
You want to become
a certified Redesigner or Stager without spending years
in expensive schools
- You want to build your own
business doing what you love
- You want to have fun while
you’re making money
- You want to bring the thrill
of a professional “TV” makeover
to the average homeowner
- You want to create
multiple income streams using Redesign and Staging as
the foundational process
- You’re in an unsatisfying
job that is just plain boring and want something
new
- You’ve carried inside
you a vision of your life that “Someday
I’ll live my life – when the kids are
grown up, when my husband retires, when we have enough money
saved,” and know deep within your heart that
your time to live your dream is NOW!
If you can relate to any of
these, you’re not alone. ALL of my students have, at
one time or another, experienced many of these feelings. Like
you, they too felt there must be a better way. Sometimes all
you really need is that ONE idea. Or someone to believe in
you more than you even believe in yourself. (The
best part is I offer you both!)
If you believe this to be true
let me show you how to…
Bring the Thrill of a Professional
“TV” Makeover to the Average Homeowner
In just 5 engaging and eye-opening
days, you'll learn not only the secrets of Redesign and Home

the sales and marketing techniques the pros use to build a

My
additional experience as a Certified Seminar Leader, home
staging professional, small business owner, writer and guest
speaker has enabled me to develop one of the absolute most
comprehensive Interior Redesign and Home Staging certification courses available
in the industry today. You'll receive all of the foundational
tools necessary to build a successful Redesign / Home Staging business of
your own.

Now that you've decided to go
after your dreams, here is what your Smart
School of Professional Interior Redesign / Home Staging Training program
will include:
1. Classroom Instruction:
Your learning experience is
enhanced through diverse teaching methods of audio, visual
and practical participation opportunities. It’s
fun, educational and inspiring.
The classroom portion
of the program consists of:
- Learning
the fundamentals of the Redesign process and technique development.
- An entire
segment on Home Staging principals and client & agent
relations.
- Video presentation
of HGTV featured redesign projects.
- Over 8 hours
of Business, Marketing and promotional start-up guidelines
2. Hands-On Redesign/Home Staging Experience:
There is one principle my colleagues
and I firmly believe in when it comes to YOUR Redesign education
and ability to run a successful Redesign / Home Staging business.
You Must Learn By Doing!
No
matter what your skill level is, no matter what you have heard,
seen or read, I can tell you from the heart, "It
is not possible to fully understand or grasp the process of
interior redesign / home staging PROPERLY and PROFESSIONALLY unless student/instructor
hands-on guidance is part of your learning module."
As the saying goes, while it
"looks good on paper", you simply CANNOT
learn the nuances and practical application of true Redesign/Home Staging
from reading a book or taking an online course.
Therefore, I spend a great
deal of time selecting the best training project homes available
for your learning experience. PLUS I visit each one personally
before I make my selections. In other words, we’re
not just trying to recreate a home makeover experience in
a classroom setting. I take each class to an “actual
home” and we makeover one or more rooms. Joanne
Crutchfield once quoted, "Attention to details has
nothing to do with obtaining perfection; it has everything
to do with taking pride in one's work".
I pride myself on often being
"picky"! That's why I insist on previewing
a minimum of 10 homes prior to each training program. It is
my obligation as an instructor to give you the very best “real-life”
Redesign practice opportunities I can provide. My goal is
to match every Redesign home challenge with what you are learning
in the classroom that day. Talk about hands-on-learning. You’ve
never experienced a course quite like this!
Your
Smart School of Professional Interior Redesign / Home Staging Training
also includes
four hands-on Redesign practice opportunities:
- Puts the classroom theory
of Redesign/Home Staging into practice – right away
- Redesigns/Stagings are conducted
in client homes for practical business environment experience
- Practical application includes
Redesign/Home Staging learning comparisons
3. A Comprehensive Training Manual:
Having
taken many training programs myself, I've come to learn there
are two kinds of course Interior Redesign/Home Staging training manuals. The one seen from
the perspective of the trainer and the one viewed from the
perspective of the “student”. I don’t
know about you, but I much prefer when the course manual is
speaking to me, as a student, rather then leaving me to decipher
some hidden code only a seasoned pro would understand.
Therefore, I have carefully
designed a manual written from a "student"
perspective. It contains over 150+ pages of clear, concise
information you are guaranteed to understand and be able to
put to use. There are no fill-in the-blanks pages here!
Everything you need to know is at your fingertips. Based on
feedback from many of my students, I'm sure you will appreciate
how your training manual will act as a resource guideline
for years to come!
Your Course Manual Includes:
The Philosophy
& Psychology of Interior Redesign
- What makes Redesign a unique
and in-demand service

4. Instant Certification as a Redesign Professional
At
the completion of the five-day class you will have earned
a one-year membership in the international Redesign organization,
Interior Redesign Industry Specialists (I.R.I.S.) and
will receive your CIRS designation
as a Certified Interior Redesign Specialist! As
a certified and designated specialist you will immediately
gain a competitive advantage over anyone else in your region
or local area that offers Interior Redesign services without
this designation. In many instances it can mean the difference
between losing a client or landing one.
- Consider this
scenario: You’re going to put your home
on the market and want to maximize its value to get the
best possible sale price. You do not have the time or creativity
to redesign your home and realize you need a professional.
You do a search in your local area and find three people
you consider hiring.
- One has a degree in interior
design but her fees are way too high.
- The second is a certified
Interior Redesign/Home Staging professional and not only
provides a fair quote, but points out how you can save
hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars by utilizing what
you already have to complete your home makeover.
- The final one has no professional
designation, isn’t certified but charges less than
anyone, while offering little in terms of saving money
or creativity.
As a home owner, who would
you choose? If you’re like thousands of other people
faced with the exact same scenario, the choice is obvious
– you choose the certified Interior Redesign /Home Staging
Professional. This is a real-life situation that is played
out nearly every day across North America. From personal experience,
I can tell you that being able to confidently refer to my
certification made a big difference early on in my career.
5. Additional Support:
Over the course of the five-day
class, we'll provide you with the essential support that makes
this one of the most comprehensive and effective courses of
its kind. You will receive:
- Morning munchies, lunch, snacks and beverages
each day.
- Transportation to and from the Redesign
homes
- Lots of fun and essential
"goodies" to get you started on your way.
- Career support from me,
your primo "cheerleader," after you complete the
program.
- A certificate of completion.
- One full day of the 5-Day
redesign program dedicated to the marketing support and
training you'll need to make your business a success no
matter what your budget.

So What Is This Going
To Cost Me?
What you really have to ask yourself is "How much are your dreams worth"? To get a college degree in interior design, we're talking about a potential investment of $40,000 or more (not to mention four years of your life). Franchise fees can run anywhere from $75,000 and up (and doesn't include rent, equipment and a host of other expenses). And even just setting up an independent retail shop often requires a hefty investment of $50,000 or more.
But when you join me in Thousand Oaks, CA for training, you can get an Interior Redesign certification in ONLY 5 days and with an investment of ONLY $2,700!!
(Note: Tuition for out-of state sessions is $3,100 to off-set travel & training costs.)
When you compare business start-up costs and other occupational training programs that teach you a new skill but DON'T teach you how to turn that skill into a successful business, Redesign/ Home Staging training can be considered a real bargain! For a FRACTION of the price, you can be certified and ready to hand out your shingle almost immediately following the class.
Think about what it is worth to you to be in a position to do what you love, to be a part of one of the most exciting and rapidly growing industries around, and to positively impact the lives of your clients by redesigning a room or completing an entire home makeover. When you stop and really consider it, isn't $2,700 a fair price to pay to make that dream come true?
If you believe a career in
the Interior Redesign world is for you, I strongly urge you
to register for one of my upcoming classes. I know you hear
this a lot, but the reality is that my class size is EXTREMELY
limited. It’s kept this way in order to fully maximize
the value and hands on care that I can deliver to you. In
other words, if you don't reserve your spot now, you may not
get the class you want.
What Else Do I Get With My Investment?
You also get these 2 bonuses:

your home, in your style, so that you’ll be proud
to say, “Hey, I did that!”.
But I Still Have Questions.
Not to worry. I've put together
answers to the main questions I get asked most frequently
so you can feel completely comfortable taking this next step
forward.
Do I need any prior design training to take your
class?
NO! Since the focus is on redesign
(using what the client already own) you do not need
a background in interior design theory or practice. I will
provide you all the knowledge you need to become a successful
Interior Redesigner.
What if I have no idea how to begin or promote my
new redesign business?
Don’t worry! One full
day of the 5-Day redesign program is dedicated to helping
you make your business a success. I will help you begin to
formulate a plan for the direction and model of your business
and give you real-world, profitable ideas on how to maximize
your service options. You will also learn how to market and
promote your new business, without sacrificing your integrity
and feeling uncomfortable. No matter what your advertising
budget is, you will discover the tips professionals use to
attract, secure, maintain and even sell more to your clients.
Can I really make a living as an Interior Redesigner?
Like any new endeavor, your
success depends on the amount of time and dedication you are
able to give as a new business entrepreneur. With public awareness
created by the numerous Do-It-Yourself television programs,
such as HGTV’s Decorating Cents, Designed to Sell and
TLC’s Trading Spaces, it’s a fabulous time to
become a part of this exciting industry.
As with any unique service,
there is a definite need to explain and promote the concept
of Interior Redesign and Home Staging. This is a necessary
part of our job as a use-what-you-have design professional.
It’s going to take a lot of hard work and patience to
have a flourishing redesign business … but you’re
not in this alone! I am always happy to support you in any
way I can and once you become a member of I.R.I.S. you will
have access to some of the best, brightest and most successful

enjoy additional support from hundreds of fellow Redesigners,
attend the annual conference and reap the benefits of multiple

Is your program part of a franchise;
are there ongoing expenses involved after I complete my training?
Absolutely not. I am an independent
business owner and instructor. I am not involved in
franchising the concept of Interior Redesign. Everything that
is included in the course tuition is specified. There are
no surprise fees before, during, or after the training program.
