Episode 236 of Window Treatments for Profit

Today on Window Treatments for Profit

Today we have a What Would Lu Do show, all about how to initiate industry partnerships with interior designers through an industry partner kit. Much like a media kit, this is a great way to present your brand so that you can capture the attention of your ideal partners and elevate your client experience. We’re walking through what to include, how to deliver, and of course, why it’s important to be ready with systems and processes in place when the phone starts ringing
