Imagine that you've been given the chance to bid on an exciting and lucrative design project. You're over the moon about it (rightly so!) but worried about how to price such a complex, multi-faceted job. As you start creating your estimate, your mind swirls with questions...
How much should I charge? How will I know I'm not underbidding? Should I go with a flat rate, hourly, or both? What about the contractor fees, or the time it takes to select the right decorative pieces? Where do I begin?
Sound familiar? Believe me, I've been there! As CEO + Principal Designer of Lesley Myrick Interior Design, I've struggled for years with pricing complex design jobs on my own. I short-changed myself on more jobs than I care to remember and missed out on lucrative projects due to analysis paralysis.
The Search for Answers
In talking with peers, I realized I wasn't alone in trying to balance my desire to win a project with my need to value my expertise. My journey took a positive turn when I found a solution that gave me a whole new perspective on pricing.
I started out researching how profitable designers charge, seeking recommendations from industry peers. I ended up trying a couple -- okay, SEVERAL - of the suggested resources.
I hoped to find one that simplified the process and prevented me from undervaluing my work. While some were good, each fell short in some critical way - lacking flexibility, accuracy, usability, or affordability.
A Glimmer of Hope
Around this time, I joined a group coaching program led by Nancy Ganzekaufer. We discussed my pricing dilemma, and she offered invaluable insight. I was grateful, to say the least.
She helped me forge a path toward a more efficient process and increased profitability. I didn't realize it at the time, but this conversation would soon spark a game-changing moment for me AND Nancy.
Fast forward to today - in addition to successfully running my design firm, I'm also Nancy's Associate Coach in her group coaching programs. We recently revisited our conversation about pricing struggles and decided to tackle the issue headfirst.

We started thinking outside the box. One by one, we identified the shortcomings of existing pricing calculators. Our mission? To create something truly comprehensive and user-friendly.
