Résumé

Discover how you can run the practical side of your practice more profitably. This comprehensive guide to managing an interior design business gives you an arsenal of proven procedures and practical tools and techniques perfected over the course of some thirty years. New to this edition are an expanded focus on the use of technology to enhance your practice, the use of project management software or database tools, and the use of an intranet to streamline internal office processes. There are also updated banking and credit sections that will help you take advantage of recent, important changes in these areas. You also get more than fifty sample forms and letters, such as an existing conditions survey and a letter of transmittal, that can easily be adapted to your own uses.
