I had the pleasure of meeting Francesca Midolo of Staged With Elegance at the Interior Design Show.

I feel like I’ve known Francesca for some time from our emails back and forth. She really hit the ground running with her business after completing Staging Diva Home Staging Training. First she took my advice from course 4 about gift certificates and got two jobs because of it plus many referrals.

Then after she successfully staged a vacant home, her client asked for a bunch of Staged With Elegance business cards to hand out to her friends. Francesca said what she learned from me has “worked like a charm and makes sense,” and she’s thrilled to be getting paid for doing something she loves.

As a teacher and mentor, that’s music to my ears!
