We've all heard of "red flag" clients but do you know how to identify and land “green flag” clients who are aligned, respectful, and a pleasure to work with?

I walk you through my own multi-step qualifying process, including my “client audition”, and show you how you can adapt it to your own design business.

Instead of obsessing over red flags and what to avoid, I want you to start noticing the words, values, and attitudes that signal this could be an incredible partnership.

You’ll learn:

• How I structure my discovery call to spot clients who really value my expertise
• The key phrases and behaviors that signal trust, clarity, and genuine excitement for the process
• Why multiple touch points reveal so much more than a single phone call
• How clear boundaries and transparent conversations about budget protect your time and profitability
• Why listening to your gut can save you from difficult projects and open the door to more joy in your work

I want you to see the signs early and confidently choose the clients (and projects) that will truly energize your business.

I challenge you to write down your own top 5 green flag client traits, so you can look for these in future Discovery Calls!

Ready to stop waiting for better opportunities and start creating access to them?

Join me for my FREE live workshop, The V.I.P. Path to Your Highest Design Fee, where I’ll show you the three shifts that help designers get seen, invited, and paid for bigger design projects.

Wednesday 6/24, 12pm Eastern.
