An Exclusive HPMKT Experience: The Best Trade Resources You Need NOW! (Bold New Itinerary for Fall 2024 Market)

I highly recommend this different perspective on HPMKT and would definitely do it again!
“After several years of attending HPMKT, I decided to try a new approach to make sure I was current on all of the latest offerings. I booked Melissa's "Behind the Scenes" tour and discovered new resources along with meeting great new people. It was refreshing to be transported in a stretch limo from destination to destination without having to plot out the next showroom, along with meeting like-minded people and learning about their business and backgrounds.

Melissa knows design and sourcing really is her superpower. Take the tour, you’ll love it!
“It was my first trip to High Point Market and Melissa’s tour was a fantastic way to really meet with owners and makers and explore resources I’d never heard of. Having the day planned and all details taken care of made it incredibly easy to focus on what matters most, finding new trusted vendor partners for my projects.

Connecting and sharing with other designers from across the country was a fun bonus!
“When Melissa invited me to her High Point Market Tour, I was skeptical. I provided her with a list of over 250 vendors and said that I’d attend, if none of the vendors I was familiar with we’d be visiting. I wanted resources I didn’t already have that are high quality, well priced and excellent value for my high-end clientele. Melissa delivered!"

Meet Your Tour Guide & Sourcing Superhero
Hi! I’m, Melissa Galt, business coach and marketing consultant to interior designers globally. I’m also a designer with my own successful residential practice for the last three decades. Today, my attention is all on you and coaching you through the challenges that design brings, especially sourcing and purchasing.
I have a Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and invested the first five years of my career journey as a PURCHASING AGENT working in 5-star properties across the Southeast. This meant that if you ate it, drank it, wrote with it, or slept on it in a hotel, I bought it. Sourcing has always been one of my SUPERPOWERS.
In my design practice my team of trade reps took me to 7-figures, I couldn’t have done it without them. They saved me countless hours and gave me a team that required no payroll and no perks. I want to show you how to do exactly the same as we are chauffeured from one-of-a-kind trade vendors to actual craftsman and makers on the HPMKT VIP TOUR!
You’ll get the best resources that you didn’t know existed while learning the SOURCING SYSTEM, that’s going to transform your design business forever.
*The itinerary will be revealed with your swag bag the day of the tour. You are chauffeured from stop to stop. No need to be concerned about transportation.
High Point can be exhausting and taking Melissa’s tour gave us one whole day focused on resources we didn’t already have.
"Each was off the standard path and without the tour we wouldn't have otherwise come across them. She took care of all the details, so we could take our time checking out the products and meeting other designers. We have a full slate of projects and were actively looking for selections.

Melissa's High Point Market Tour was a great investment in gaining valuable new resources.
"She had promised that it was the right vendors, right now that we needed, she was right. It was a great experience to meet the owners firsthand, to get the inside story of what they manufacture, how they do it, and why. And it opened opportunities for us to grow project revenue with sources we didn't previously use or know about.
