Tip #4 - If you like it, show it!

4. Know what you like. Tear out pages from magazines of things you like and put them in your accordion files. This way when meeting with vendors you can show them pictures of your vision. Don't be afraid, if you don't have a clue and don’t know what you like. The people you work with are professionals, they'll know the right questions to ask to get a good understanding of what you want.
