Shownotes Transcript

Today With Porsche Williams:

Welcome to A Well-Designed Business. Today, Porsche Williams, founder of The Prototype, joins me to discuss the power of streamlined backend operations for interior designers.

Porsche’s company specializes in seamlessly managing client onboarding, discovery calls, lead management, and more, freeing designers from administrative overwhelm. She believes that “your creativity thrives when your business operations are optimized” (a money line if ever I’ve heard one)! Today, she shares how delegating tasks leads to a better client experience, more creativity, and more profitability.

LuAnn Nigara and Porsche Williams's Ah-Ha Moments:

“Your creativity thrives when your business operations are optimized.” - Porsche Williams

"Just because it’s on your to-do list doesn't mean you have to be the one checking it off." - Porsche Williams

"Clients don’t expect you to handle every detail personally; they expect professionalism, clarity, and consistency in your process." - LuAnn Nigara
