348: What Would Lu Do?: Part 3- Create a Stable Team That Doesn’t Rely on You

Today on Window Treatments for Profit

Hiring is exhausting.Training is expensive.And losing good people doesn’t set you back weeks. It sets you back months.

In this episode of Window Treatments for Profit, we’re continuing our January WWLD series with Decision #3: Stabilize Your Team So You’re Not Constantly Starting Over.

If you feel like you’re always retraining adults on the basics, this episode will challenge a hard truth: the issue usually isn’t effort. It’s leadership and systems.

We talk about why retention has very little to do with perks and everything to do with expectations, standards, and clarity. You’ll hear why chaos drives good employees away faster than money, and how strong leadership creates teams that step up, protect your reputation, and carry the business forward even when you’re not in the room.

This episode is for experienced owners who want:

Fewer mistakes and less rework
A team that understands the big picture
Stability that holds up during busy seasons and hard moments
Leadership systems that work week after week, not just during reviews

This isn’t about being nicer.It’s about being clearer.

And it’s one of the most overlooked decisions that changes profit, time, and control in your business.

Shorten response time so problems don’t linger.

Unresolved issues don’t just disappear. They get heavier. And the longer they sit, the more they cost you.

In this episode, LuAnn explains why slow response times turn otherwise manageable problems into trust-breakers, how businesses unintentionally train themselves to be reactive instead of professional, and why silence is never neutral in the eyes of your customer.

You’ll also learn three practical action steps to help you:

Prevent problems from falling through the cracks
Assign clear ownership instead of relying on memory
Close the communication loop so customers feel informed, not ignored

LuAnn shares real-world lessons from Window Works, including why some of her most loyal and referral-heavy clients were ones where something initially went wrong — and how fast, consistent follow-through made all the difference.

This episode is not about perfection. It’s about intention, clarity, and leadership. And it’s one of the fastest ways to protect both your profit and your sanity.
