Course Index

Here are the summaries of each of the nine lessons in the course. It has everything you need to know to sell window coverings confidently. Professionally. Successfully.

Lesson 1. ” Room Usage and the Client Discussion”

In this lesson, you will learn the questions to ask, and almost more importantly, you will learn how to read between the lines of what the client says.

You will learn what to look at when you are in the room with the client and how what you see will affect your window covering choices later on.

 

 

Lesson 2, “Photos and Renderings”

At the end of this lesson, you will know how to take a usable photo and create a rendering of a window covering, and be able to do it in no time while you sit with the client.

 

 

Lesson 3, “Measuring”

Learn how to read a tape measure, learn what a digital tape measure is all about, learn what goes into your measuring kit, and why.

At the end of this lesson, you will know how to measure almost anything. Seriously. And you will have the confidence that you CAN measure for window coverings.

 

 

Lesson 4, “Color”

At the end of this lesson, you will be seeing undertones everywhere. You will be able to describe color in three ways you never thought of before, which opens the door to finding colors that work well together.

 

Lesson 5, “Hard Window Coverings”

This lesson will teach you the basics of hard window coverings, what belongs where, and why. The second part of the lesson is the ‘Business of Hard Window Coverings’. Here you will learn how to be a re-seller for one of those manufacturers. It’s astoundingly lucrative.

 

Lesson 6, “Design”

This is where you learn design styles, what goes with what type of room, what functions the different styles fulfill, and how to choose the one that’s right for your client.

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to choose the design style for the window treatment  with confidence.

 

Lesson 7, “Hardware”

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to choose the right hardware for your chosen window covering.  

Like hard window coverings, selling hardware is a very lucrative element for your business. You don’t need a huge storeroom or a van. You need a sample kit. And that’s easy to put together — the how-to is in this lesson.

Lesson 8, “Fabric and Fabrication”

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to pick the exact fabric for your client’s coverings and calculate the yardage.

Selling fabric means you keep that part of the job profit. And selling fabric is huge.

Lesson 9, “Presentation and Quality”

In this final lesson you will learn all about Presentation and Quality. It probably isn’t what you think it is. But in this last section of the course, it’s defined. And it is a game-changer for any business. ANY business. It’s my little gift to you… this changed the way I did business. It has stayed with me through everything I’ve ever learned about business, it’s never been wrong.
