  • 1081: Tracee Murphy: The Psychology of Luxury Sales in Interior Design

    1081: Tracee Murphy: The Psychology of Luxury Sales in Interior Design
    Apr 22 2025
    Today With Tracee Murphy: Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. Today, we’re diving deep into the psychology involved in the sales process—and why it begins with understanding that you are a luxury service provider. Tracee Murphy, psychologist-turned-designer, leverages her background in her business, and teaches others to do the same thing. Today, she’s here to unpack how understanding client motivations and mastering deep listening are key to success in the high-end market. LuAnn Nigara andTracee Murphy’s Ah-Ha Moments: "Luxury is really defined by the client... if we don't understand what they're wanting, then we can't possibly deliver it." -Tracee "If the only thing you ever did as a salesperson was stop talking and listen, you're gonna be way ahead of the game." - LuAnn More About Tracee Murphy Thanks to degrees in interior design and psychology, Tracee understands how your home’s interior can impact your moods and the way you live. She is particularly skilled at listening to her client’s needs to develop spaces that meet and exceed expectations. From managing multiple perspectives on a project to staying abreast of the latest codes, Tracee thrives on reflecting “Your Style of Living.” Tracee and her team believe that each project is unique, with its own singular design aesthetic. To that end, she and her team work to reflect the personality of each homeowner or business behind the space. Her passion is for classic styling with a relaxed and sophisticated feeling. A licensed interior designer in Florida, Tracee regularly attends continuing education classes to ensure she is constantly evolving in her approach while also remaining up to date on all health and safety requirements. When she isn’t creating beautiful living spaces, Tracee loves traveling the world, walking the beach and enjoying the “salt life.” She regularly supports the arts and culture that Sarasota has to offer, but most of all, she relishes spending time with her family and dogs, George Washington and Sophie Jo, who you’ll find in the TMI Design Studio on most days.
