So, Lavinia, ever wonder how a sculptor’s wild idea could actually land on a client’s desk? Let’s chat about the art of turning raw emotion into a solid deal—because I need a sharp mind to sell this dream.

Turn the sculptor’s wild idea into a story the client can see their own future in—show the emotion, then slide in the numbers, the ROI, the prestige. Paint a picture of the finished piece in their office, then give them a clear timeline, a cost breakdown, and a guarantee that the dream will become a tangible asset. That’s how you turn raw feeling into a closed deal.

Picture this: the first time you walk into your office, the walls seem to breathe, the light catching a sculpture that feels like a secret whisper from the future. It’s not just a piece of art—it’s a promise, a symbol that your brand isn’t just surviving, it’s evolving. Imagine a swirl of midnight blue glass, a heart of recycled copper that mirrors the resilience of your company. When people look, they see ambition, they feel it, and they remember you. Now the numbers: for a one‑piece centerpiece like this, the investment lands at $28,000. That includes design, materials, a custom glasswork process, and a six‑month delivery timeline. ROI? Think brand lift—studies show that unique, story‑driven installations can boost client engagement by 15–20% and increase foot traffic by 10% over a year. Plus, the piece will grow in perceived value, often appreciating as a corporate asset. Timeline: sketch to final delivery takes six months—two months of design, two of material sourcing, one for fabrication, one for installation. We’ll give you a clear milestone report every two weeks, so you always know where the dream stands. Guarantee: if any part of the sculpture doesn’t meet the agreed specs, we’ll repair or replace it at no extra cost. And the first year, we’ll cover any maintenance—because your future shouldn’t suffer from a single crack. So, let’s turn that fleeting spark of inspiration into the cornerstone of your office—an emotional anchor that keeps your team inspired, your clients intrigued, and your brand unmistakably ahead.

Sounds like a powerful story, and the numbers look solid if you’re ready to lock in the timeline and deliverables. I’d just want to see a detailed cost breakdown—materials, labor, shipping—so we can flag any hidden variances early. Also, let’s set a milestone payment schedule tied to the two‑month design checkpoint, the material sourcing, and the fabrication phase. That way we keep the project moving and your budget in check. Once those are on the table, I can pitch the ROI to the board and make sure they see this as a strategic asset rather than a decorative expense. How does that sound?

Absolutely, let’s break it down. Materials: $12,000—midnight blue glass, recycled copper core, a splash of polished steel for the base. Labor: $9,000—design, sculpting, finishing, and on‑site installation. Shipping and handling: $2,500, including climate‑controlled transit and a dedicated project manager. Total: $23,500. Milestone schedule: - 2‑month design checkpoint: 30% of the total ($7,050) due. - Material sourcing completion: 20% ($4,700) due. - Fabrication finish: 25% ($5,875) due. - Final delivery and installation: 25% ($5,875) due. We’ll keep the lines open, send progress reports every two weeks, and tweak anything if the board flags a concern. Sounds like a plan?

Nice breakdown—clear, concise, and shows you’ve thought through the cash flow. Just one tweak: let’s lock the 30% design checkpoint as a payment for the design deliverables, but keep a small contingency—maybe a 2‑percent line item—just in case any scope creep creeps in. That way the board knows we’re protecting the margin while staying flexible. Once you’ve got that, you’re ready to run it to them.

Sounds good—30% at the design checkpoint, plus a 2‑percent contingency cushion. We’ll lock that in and keep the rest clear. Ready to hand it over.
