    Sep 11 2024

    Send us a text

    Do you sell installations or do you sell an experience? Answering that one question can quickly help you differentiate your company from the competition. What makes an install an experience? When does it start? What’s included? Is it really different than what the competition is doing?

    Reggie Burke of Bayview Flooring in Port Angeles, Washington has over 10 years of experience in the flooring trade. Upon going out on is own after being trained by his father, Reggie was looking for a way to be different from the rest. Over the last two years he has honed in on creating a client experience unlike any other in the area when it comes to flooring installations. From the time the prospect first reaches out until the project is closed out, there are little differences that elevate the quality of service that is being provided.

    Listen in to this week’s episode of the Floor Academy podcast as Reggie and I discuss how he has crafted a client experience that not only helps sell the value of his installations but makes it a no brainer to go with Bayview Flooring.
