CONSULTATIONS WITH CLIENTS
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT !
Consultations are simply informal sessions involving talking with clients or prospective clients. This can be done in person, by phone, or virtually.
The purpose of the client consultation is to learn more about the homeowner’s space and any organizational work that needs to be done. This gives the homeowner a great opportunity to offer a virtual or live tour of the space in question and to share any concerns that will help me tailor my services to you.
Providing empathy through consultations
In the beginning when I first advertised my organizing projects through local social media including the NextDoor neighborhood platform, I began to realize the presence of unique barriers presented by my clients. Some people desperately needed help with organizing spaces within their home, but they were embarrassed to show their real living spaces. In a few cases, there was some actual hoarding whereas in other instances, the fear of embarrassment was stronger than the actual disorder.
It was interesting to deal with these circumstances because it inspired me to approach each organizational opportunity with proper attention, care, and diplomacy. It also helped me strengthen my sense of empathy by allowing me to better understand my clients’ connections to clutter.
I do realize that inviting any stranger into your home for the purpose of cleaning areas and reorganizing clutter may break down walls of intimacy and privacy, but I assure you that as an organizer, I maintain strict confidence and professionalism in all I do.
My job is never to judge my clients, but to help them. I am here to help you and serve you by reorganizing the spaces in your home and garage.
