Managing For Profits - April 8, 2026
If you own or operate a window treatment or interior design business, you already know that talent alone doesn’t guarantee profitability. The Managing for Profits workshop is designed to help business owners step out of the day-to-day operations and think like the CEO of their company.
Led by industry leaders LuAnn Nigara and Vince Nigara, this intensive business session focuses on the financial and operational benchmarks that separate profitable companies from those that struggle.
This is not a sales class. It is CEO-level business training specifically designed for professionals in the window treatment and interior design industries. This workshop typically runs approximately 4 hours and is designed to deliver clear, actionable business insights you can apply immediately to your company.
