Conversation is key
If we could give one piece of advice to young professionals aspiring to make a mark in the KBB industry, it would be to talk to people. The KBB industry is blessed with a wealth of superb design talent, leading software innovators, and top professionals in business management, marketing, PR, recruitment and more. There is a running joke within the KBB industry that once you join it, you never leave, which not only shows that it’s a fantastic industry to work in, but also provides young people access to a fount of knowledge built on years of experience.
Professionals in the KBB industry love to talk, so if you are looking to build a career in the sector, get out there, visit showrooms,
familiarise yourself with products and embrace any
opportunity to learn. Develop relationships with industry bodies and attend

conferences to build your industry knowledge and benefit from valuable networking opportunities.
Immersive kitchen and bathroom design that closes the sale
A new kitchen or bathroom is likely the biggest purchase your client will make all year, possibly even all decade. After all the hard work you’ve put into designing the perfect space, the last thing you want is for the project to fall flat in the presentation stage. That’s where creating an
immersive, virtual room can have a huge impact. It allows your client to see their future room in stunning detail,
helping them connect emotionally with the design and making it easier to close the sale.
Comment by Alex Ainge, Senior Director, Head of KBF Retail Sales (SMB & Mid-Market) - EMEA
A great presentation makes all the difference. I’ve seen beautiful spaces fail to impress due to a poor presentation. On the other hand, even modest kitchens and bathrooms can wow an audience when customers get an immersive view of their future space. When clients can experience the design in such a lifelike way, it gives them greater confidence in the project, helping you bring it over the line successfully.
An effective presentation is a powerful tool that transforms your hard work into a vision your client can’t resist.
Bathrooms of the future will incorporate more
electronic technology Long term, at ProofVision, we see the bathroom evolving into a space that incorporates advanced technology solutions that track our health and enhance our daily experience. The bathroom is quite a unique space in the house. It’s a place where you get some time on your own, a room you use every day, often for short periods of time, where you are busy dealing with routine activities, but your mind is free to wander to other thoughts. By enhancing the enjoyment of your time, we believe technology can add significant value, both to bathroom retailers and consumers. At ProofVision, we aim to enhance daily living through innovative, waterproof, electrical technology solutions tailored for the bathroom. We are continually expanding our product range to meet the evolving needs of the future.
