I’ve learned so much from Jane

I’ve learned so much from Jane about the Design Studio business. Her meticulous and focused attention to each project is admirable. She takes the time to understand the builder’s Design Studio business, points out where there may not be a clear strategy, and collaborates in an inclusive way to deliver projects that meet goals. Jane’s been a great thought partner throughout the years that I’ve had the pleasure to know her.

Jane is the best in the business

It goes without saying that our design centers have changed how we do business and paid for themselves many times over. Jane is the best in the business and I hope she can do for you what she does for us!

Instrumental in creating new process

Our experience with Jane has always been top notch. She makes us think outside of the box, is always open to new ideas, and spurs a lot of creative thinking when it comes to our design process and how we interact with our customers. She has been a great resource for building confidence in our Design Team and has been instrumental in helping us create new process and procedure – ultimately leading to a more streamlined and favorable experience for our homeowners.

Mike Hess, Executive Vice President, Vantage Homes

Jane’s coaching was powerful

Jane’s perspective and coaching was powerful in jump starting our journey toward a modern buying experience for our customers and in bringing efficiencies to our team. Starting from a 50-year-old custom builder mindset, who had managed to shift toward semi-custom over the last decades, we needed the expertise and experience Success Strategies delivered . Becoming a “retailer” was a big jump for us and Jane’s help and guidance was invaluable.
