Do CEO’s do Business Development??

[@BlissfulBlackBeauty]

The fact that you’re so busy but still take the time to record and share parts your life with us is incredible and I’m sooo grateful that you do because I have learnt so much from watching your vlogs!

[@KarinBohn]

Awe. Thank you so much for watching my content! I really appreciate it - and thanks so much for commenting, it means a lot to me to know you’ve learned a lot! 💕

[@FashAveGirl]

“To dedication and commitment... we gotta get some better wine glasses.” 🤣🤣 such a Karin moment 😂😂💜

[@nadiailmb]

Damn!!! That's dedication and an awesome team working for 14+ hours. That means, Karin as a boss/mentor is bomb!!! Hats off!!!

[@dalewis5038]

When you take the day off you make sure to watch a video of Karin Bohn as quickly as you can. :-)

[@elaineanderson4891]

Agreed

[@lindae.9763]

Soooooo true 🥰

[@jesuisannesophierb749]

I Love that kind of video because you show truly what be your own boss and running a business is and that success is not magic it's hard work, patience, commitment and passion. Love your skirt by the way it look like a Diane Von Furstenberg skirt really nice 😃

[@konvalinajkk]

I really liked this business development video. I would really like to see what all is included in a typical interior design proposal template.

[@monica4158]

Karin, question... *1. How did you get the opportunity to quote/do a proposal on this job?* Was it a cold call? Was it a referral? Was it networking? An incoming enquiry into your office? Existing project? Thanks!

[@monica4158]

@Bailey Rae Hey Bailey, yes, I was just wondering myself also ... I love listening to Entrepreneurship channels on KZbin (Karin being one of my favs) and have always wonderef what mix of thier actual yearly incoming new business is made up of.... but more importantly, How do they even get the opportunity to even get in front of a potential client to even do a proposal... example; *NEW Client BIZ - not existing clients* Year 1 - 100% Cold calling + Networking Year 2 - 50% Cold calling + 50% referrals Year 3 - 60% Referrals + 30% Incoming enquiries + 10% Cold calling AND to top it all off, from the proposals that are sent to quote on new business, out of every 10 proposals that are sent, how many(what %) are won that turn into paying clients? I dunno, I'm just a numbers gal!!! Wishing you all the best Bailey😊

[@mona-checkoutmychannel7656]

I was also wondering this!

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

Most of my potential clients are referrals

[@inap.5939]

A few months ago when I was reviewing for the Civil Engineering board exam I was looking for a motivation, then I stumbled upon your channel. Your videos kept my spirit up when I was studying day in and day out. I PASSED THE EXAM!!! 🎉 😊 I'm finally getting clients and designing homes. I now work 15 hrs a day at home but just like you I don't mind it 'cause I'm doing what I love. I still watch your videos when I'm working or whenever I need an extra push. In the future, I want to be successful like you are. Thank you so much for inspiring me. 😊💕

[@nadiailmb]

Video idea : chat with the team about how they like their work and working at House Of Bohn.

[@Kaltain007]

Add on - a day in the office from the team's perspective. I think that would be awesome, we'd really get to see all of the moving parts 👌

[@nataschalachlan]

Watching you stay at office till late makes me reminice to my college day when my friends and i will stay at one of our school classroom, and order take outs while waiting for our laptops to finish rendering. While the cleaning lady constantly asking us to go home cause she had to lock down and us begging her for 5 more minutes and bought her dinner and coffee so she would let us stay for another hour😂

[@hciperson]

In the software dev world that is why you see companies offer free chef prepared meals, onsite laundry, sleep/nap pods because you work 14 hours and they want you to finish the work at the office.

[@FashAveGirl]

James Nutter this is sooooo true!

[@Blissfullifedesigner]

Can’t agree anymore

[@AD-CAN]

You guys need a bedroom in the office, just in case 🤣 + I would add company for Oscar 🐶. Wish you the best of luck 🤞 for proposal.

[@colleencampos7761]

Karin, you and your team are such an inspiration and my hat goes off to all of you for hard work and commitment. Diane, your filming/editing skills are absolutely wonderful. This is my favorite entrepreneurial channel on YT bar none!!!

[@amanjaneenilaweera7441]

This is commitment and dedication next level! Just thinking of filming a day like this is amazing enough. We see lot of "After" pictures with picture perfect details. But getting there is the hardest part! Karin, you are so awesome to share this with us. So inspiring. You are my favorite! Love you loads boss babe

[@KarinBohn]

Woohoo! Thanks so much for watching doll. Hope you have a great week ahead! ❤️

[@amanjaneenilaweera7441]

hi, just letting you know I APPRECIATE THE CONSISTENCY IN YOUR UPLOADS 🔥❤️

[@purej9designsbyjaninewitbo678]

Love the new interactions in the studio space, it fits your team so much better. I agree that the change to lighter wood tones in that Indian Restaurant will look more contemporary...love the dedication and commitment! It's really paying off...

[@KarinBohn]

You’re right - all the commitment is really paying off!! ❤️

[@jessiewilliams8012]

I loved seeing the business development side!! It’s so so important and it’s cool to see the other half that really supports the whole company. I would love more content like this if you’re up for it! Keep doing great work House of Bohn! 🙌🏼

[@shakietamarshall2422]

Such an inspiration honestly. The dedication you and your team has towards work is so amazing, it's contagious lol.

[@user-bc1ot2es8w]

It’s great to see the preparation and collaboration that goes into securing a project! I’ve always wondered, “Where’d you get that concrete table?” That Oscar highlight though! Made my day!

[@shani4470]

Hey Karin, Are you able to show us how you set out and plan your goals which include personal (finances, fitness,) and professional (to-do lists, short/term long term goals) - do you use specific tools, planners or system? Would love to know!

[@princeasamoahbaah8720]

Can we have a day in the life of the team members too. You know, get to know them and get an idea of the moving parts in House of Bohn? It would be nice 😊

[@KarinBohn]

It’s in the works! 😉

[@kwarcc1]

Yes, the truth! I love your videos for many reasons, but the transparency that you guys bring to all of us who have their own business, knowing that I'm not the only one working for 12 hrs a day and sometimes yes, I do work for 19hrs as well! So thank you for sharing! Means a lot!

[@wendyswanderlust]

Awesome to see the office getting more and more finished and that the space helps you and you're team to finish proposals

[@sandylunden5782]

Karen, What a beautiful life you’ve made for yourself, Bravo! Hard work and loving what you do, it’s one of the best feelings 👍❤️💯

[@rosii6432]

you're such a motivation! Your vlogs are the best

[@enachefelicia]

I loved this video ! I love how you tailored it to show what goes into being your own boss and a mentor for those surrounding you . All the perseverance, dedication and team effort are admirable. Please keep doing such videos . You are a true inspiration of hard work and all of the above !

[@MsSassyMT]

I love that you show different phases of the work you do in your company.

[@Nwabi23]

Hey Karin! I love love your videos of you in the office working hard on projects, I also love seeing your staff members and how you engage with them! Thank you for inspiring us. PS. All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@haseena1001]

Hey Karin - I loved this DITL video! You are such a great collaborative leader :-) I really enjoyed that you covered business development - proposals, getting the clients/projects, teamwork is certainly key. Agreeing to Disagree, bouncing ideas off each other and having debates often brings out the best in people and development, great ideas can be born - Dedication & Commitment 'Cheers to that' Oscar certainly looks like he is enjoying the new office!

[@teewon3977]

You have a very powerful and supportive team. And you are a good leader. I am always excited to watch your videos. I have always been passionate about interior design. Am currently taking an online course in it, and I am also thrilled by you many informative videos you provide. Keep it up.

[@monica4158]

Awwwww Oscar, so cool that you have a little doggie in the office 🐶🐶🐶

[@nanouckfre]

I love your videos, I learn a lot about how the process is been done, and how you sharpen your design!!! Now a days when we can't go out of the house I'm watching you every day i know that when we go back to work I'll be a better designer...

[@QueenCNow]

I loved watching this, it is nice to see what hard work means, but also nice to see that working hard, doesnt mean that you can do it in a "fun" enviroment, or enjoy it you way. It is nice to see that you are enjoying you new space :)

[@sharonlan8330]

Loved how you walked us through your design development phase! It was awesome to see renderings and hear your thoughts on them and how you’d tweak things!

[@cassie1261]

[@arelyholguin9011]

Thank you for your content Karin. You help keep me motivated and focused on what I want my career to look like. You have no idea how much your videos encourage me to get through the tough times I’m going through right now and have added that much more excitement to follow through with my choice to become an interior designer some day.

[@alottoflove3617]

Yay!!! I’m home sick today but I’m super excited to watch your video.

[@creationslandscapedesigns]

What I love most about proposal writing is the part where you calculate cost. Hah :-)

[@cbplibra1012]

LOVE THESE DAY IN THE LIFE!!! Just a suggest...as transitions (b-roll) can you show color palettes or mood boards for like 2 secs. Thanks.

[@laritza8284]

Karin, that glass of wine on your work desk is a MOOD that I strive for lmao. Love this vid, as always!!

[@mansardmanor3869]

If I may inject a point for growth in the business. Teach those who you collaborate with, to change from being a "Yes, yes" associate, and realize that they must engage in constructive dialogue, with other opinion that differ from your ideas, a variety concepts are what is required for growth in the company. You would want to know that the company can operate without your direct involvement. This means more business, and more deligation, means more profit. Best regards 🏝️

[@mona-checkoutmychannel7656]

I agree! I was thinking the same thing

[@KarinBohn]

Thank you for taking the time to Comment - I’ll definitely try to film more non-business activities (although there aren’t that many of them! Lol).

[@fapples]

Karin! I have been watching your videos for the last few days and am so impressed and in awe of the process. I’ve been considering switching fields (currently I work in the medical field, though I have a bachelor’s in fine arts!). Your videos have inspired me to pursue interior design.. I’ve watched your video on your journey into getting to where you are, but do you have any input as to what level of schooling you would be more apt to hire if the resume came across your desk? In the US, there are bachelor level programs as well as master level. Do you think it matters? Or are portfolio review and character assessment prioritized in the hiring process? Thanks!!! Can’t wait to watch more, I would love to work for you if I lived in Canada. Your team seems like an amazing troupe!

[@jasminerenee3760]

Hey Karin! I watch your videos every Monday! you are such a big inspiration for me and my interior design journey. i watch you videos every morning before class. I love your work and I been watching your journey for a while, So Inspiring! I have a question though. Us, your supporters and watchers see the great side of things in your videos but i wanted to know what are disagreements like with your designers. As i watch your videos It seems like when your designers come and show you what they work on and you add in what could make it better or what should be taken out, do they ever say no to you? or why they don't like a decision you made? or is it always "since she is the boss let's just go with what she wants"? Since we never see that, does that ever happen or is that something you don't want us to see? I'm trying to process pros and cons. and how to balance out that situation if it was to happen.

[@LipstickInMyCoffee]

You inspire me so much!!💕💕💕

[@marivargas1616]

so...! do you first write a descriptive proposal, and then, when the client accepts, you design? or do you give images of the design before knowing if the client is accepting? :O lol much lov to you and your team! thank you for sharing content!

Can u please do one video on how to do proposals .

[@brendassali2429]

Hi Karin, been a fan since 2 years back. On holiday in Seychelles but used my downtime to catch up on your videos I had missed. Just 2 questions; on average how long does a proposal take you? Do you charge a fee for consulting before the proposal? Please advice me.

[@kimuigelazarus9026]

Haven't seen Vanessa in the last few videos... Is she still with House of Bohn? Always felt she was such a good fit for the company, but hopefully, all is well :)

[@monicah.otulakowski6394]

I wonder why the House of Bohn designers didn’t *sell* their original colour palette (red/dark wood). Karin seemed to change the fundamental direction with clear rationale from the client. In fairness, the video can’t capture everything, maybe that didn’t make the cut.
