Most stagers assume growth requires more—more trucks, more staff, more overhead. But what if the key to scaling is doing more with less?
In this inspiring session, Mandy Shields shares how she scaled INhance It Home Staging into a 7-figure business operating with just one truck and a small team. With smart systems, strategic hiring, and a laser focus on efficiency, Mandy’s business completes up to three installs per day—without sacrificing quality or burning out her crew.
