Let’s face it; life
would be a whole lot easier if we got everything right the first time.
In the past few years
suppliers have gone out of business.
Some of our trusted installers have found new jobs and aren’t
available. Inventories are down and you
can’t find the tile your customer spent two weeks choosing.
The good news is there
are answers. There are solutions that work
even when you’re overwhelmed and truly believe that you’ve tried everything. It’s time to pivot and it’s easier if we work together.
“Life is not a solo act; it's an ensemble piece. You're in
this with other actors, whose lines are just as important as yours.”
Marianne Williamson
If you've been waiting
for the market to change, believe me it has.
Big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s have expanded their
inventories and included lines that were only available to tile shops. On-line
tile shops are picking up another share of the bricks and mortar business
because their brand of advertising gets them to the top of the page in Google
search and they’re not getting the service they deserve.
If you’re waiting for a magical moment
to have the time to grow your business, the time is now! You don’t have to do
it alone anymore you can be part of a mastermind team.
We’ve all heard that two heads are better than one; I
propose that we try 30. I’m going to
limit this opportunity to 30 shops, each from a different town or city across
the country. We’re going to have 8 weeks
of conversations, homework assignments, guest speakers and question and answer
sessions every Tuesday night beginning October 29th. You will also have two
private conversations with me to really get into your goals. We’re going to
have a private Facebook group where everyone can share successes, problems,
design ideas and questions that come up on a daily basis. This group will stay together long as you
want to share resources, wins and support.
All of our sessions will be recorded so you’ll never miss one and can
listen to them again because when you do things differently, you hear them
differently.
Do you want your
business to have amazing results? If you got hit really hard in the recession
it’s time to stop telling yourself the story of your loss. Have you been waiting for the stars to align
or until you have the money or to decide if you are worth it? Why did you start
the business in the first place? Pick
yourself up; dust yourself off, lose the story, and play like you’re in it to
win it.
I want to work with a
very special group and if you’re feeling called to join; it’s time to Rock Your Tile Shop. Stake your claim in your city or town by
emailing me for an application.
Recently, I did an
interview with Kelli Ellis of HGTV & Bravo for the Design Camp
University . Among lots of things, we discussed that the
biggest problem with the design process is that tile and stone seem to be an
afterthought. Floors, bathroom tile and countertops are big chunks of the
budget and should be one of the first decisions made. Unfortunately some
designers and most homeowners don’t realize what a great texture tiles add,
especially in layout patterns. When you
introduce clients to patterns and unique designs they’ll never buy anywhere
else!
So why work with me? Because I love tile and stone! I’ve worked at Walker Zanger in the
Architectural Department and been a part of two tile store startups. In every venture I built my sales from
nothing to over $100,000 per month. I
took some time off from retail to create a book and website about tile layout
patterns and the website will save tile stops hours each day in design and
figuring out how much tile to order.
To reward your quick
action, everyone enrolled by October 20th gets a one year FREE membership
to my Easy Tile Design website which is a $840.00 value and trust me when I say
it’s actually worth a part-time employee for a year. The website will be
launching January of 2014 and all of you get to be beta testers. Tick,
tock.
It starts when you ask yourself a few basic questions:
Why don’t you think you’re worth the profit on one
bathroom remodel?
Do you want to survive for another year or do you want to
thrive?
What happened to your big vision?
