Becoming A Professional Organizer

    View: 
The past decade has seen life become increasingly sophisticated yet far less labor intensive for most of us. If you want to get and stay ahead, make use of professional organizer services, or what I call 'efficiency services'.



We outsource more and more tasks in our home to other companies just as if our home life was a business. A few of the efficiency services that you probably use include: Delivery services, car wash, launderette, various home maintenance, etc.

Now more of us can afford for those chores to be taken care of by others, what is there left for us to do? How can we use our money to maximize the opportunity of our time? That is where professional organizers come in.

Imagine what a professional organizer working for you could do for you personal organization. Everything comes from organization. As a professional organizer I consult with many people to organize everything in their life, organize goals, organize home, organize time, etc. I have chosen three core tips to help you choose a professional organizer that is suitable for you personally.

This may seem strange but I believe the skill of listening is one of the most important that a good professional organizer can have. If the professional organizer can not fully and completely listen to everything you are about and where you are coming from they will never be able to take you to a level of personal organization that satisfies you.

Choosing a professional organizer can be a cause for anxiety itself, which defeats the point of organization services. So here are some key insider tips from a professional organizer, on how you can choose a good professional organizer for your own style and way of doing things.

Make a list of 10 or so professional organizers by doing a search online or in a phone directory. Contact them by phone or email and let them know you are contacting 9 others to find one suitable for you. This lets them know they can not 'hard sell' you.

Take a look at their website, read some of their articles, and read their reply email or hear them out by phone. Tell them you still have the others to contact before making your decision. A good professional organizer will approve of your organized approach.

On your check list you need to score them on 'How good they listen to you and hear you out'. 'How interesting and thoughtful they're products and articles are'. 'How they're email response made you feel about them'.

Those three factors alone will give you enough to be able to at least make a short list and might allow you to choose a professional organizer in no time at all.

In modern life I believe time becomes so precious to the potential of opportunities and experiences life has to offer. Using a professional organizer will allow you to maximize the life opportunities you can take advantage of.
Becoming A Professional Organizer
If you can answer yes to questions like these, starting a professional organizer business is something you should consider.

The Concept

A professional organizer helps others to organize their spaces. Organization may come natural to you. For many others it's a difficult task. They welcome the help from a professional to take the chaos out of their kitchens, their closets, their storage areas, their offices, and many other areas of their lives.

Professional organizers go into the homes and offices of their clients, survey the space that needs to be organized, and make recommendations for the most efficient use of the space. As an organizer, you can expect to have to do a little therapy as you will most likely need to convince your clients that they will need to purge some of their possessions before the organizing begins.

Organizers can work with what the client already has or they can help their clients pick out pieces of furniture, closet organizational systems and other tools that will facilitate the process. If additional organization tools need to be purchased, it will depend on the clients' wants, needs, and ultimately their budget.

Startup Costs

Startup costs for a professional organizer business are nominal if you do it independently. Some of the things a professional organizer may want to consider investing in are business cards ($10 and up), a portfolio including photos of spaces you've organized (about $50 if you create it yourself), and a website (low-cost for a basic site, costs vary if you have someone design and implement it for you).

There are some franchise opportunities for professional organizers, also. Initial franchise fees can run from $15,000 on up, and many of the companies require that additional working capital be on hand for startup.

How to Market It

If you are starting an independent professional organizer business, marketing can start with word of mouth, hanging flyers in public places. Both of those options cost no money. If you have a marketing budget, placing ads in local papers that target homeowners and businesses is a good start.

If you are stating a franchise, the company may already have some marketing in place for you, but it's a good idea to do some of your own, independent marketing.

Online marketing is important, too. Having a basic website with your contact information, details about your services, and good quality digital images of your work is an excellent marketing tool. In addition to creating an online presence for your business, you'll also want to be sure to place a listing of your business in the Yellow Pages so that potential customers can find your business. Good luck with your new business venture!
