At today's roundtable...


First, a message to our East Coast colleagues, members, and friends.

We are thinking of everyone affected by the recent hurricanes. It’s tough to find the right words during such a difficult time. Remember, you are not alone in this journey.

The support from the community and AIBD can help you through the challenges ahead. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and hope you find comfort and healing soon.

Coffee With Bernie, hosted by Bernie Kern, FAIBD

At today's roundtable, the discussion will begin by focusing on two crucial aspects of client relationships in residential design. We will explore various compensation models and how we can effectively tailor our services to meet client needs.

Yours and the insights of the others participating will help us understand best practices in these areas.

Don't worry if you're not comfortable joining via video. You can still listen and engage through the chat feature.

But we guarantee you'll want to join them on screen once you hear everyone's tips.

So, be ready to show off your coffee cup (make sure it's a good one!). β˜• Bernie always asks. πŸ˜„

This virtual event is entirely free, thanks to our AIBD Industry Partners, who have generously covered the cost.

So grab your favorite cup of joe (or other morning beverage) and learn how to enhance your marketing strategies with Bernie.
