    352: What Would Lu Do?: Q2 Series | When the Right Thing Gets Hard | Part 1: When a Good Client Pushes Back on Your Price
    Apr 13 2026
    Today on Window Treatments for Profit You already know you should price for profit. You made that decision. This episode is about what happens in the three seconds after a client you actually care about says: that is more than I expected. In the first episode of her new five-part series, LuAnn Nigara goes somewhere most sales training never goes. Not to the script. To what happens inside you first. The clenching. The impulse that sounds like they do not think I am worth it. And why that impulse, if you do not understand it, will cost you the sale and the margin before you say a single word. She introduces the two-word mechanism she has taught for decades in EW sales trainings and with her Chairman of the Board clients: based on what. And she explains exactly why it works, what it reveals, and how it gives you the breath you need to stay in the conversation instead of scrambling out of it. She also tells the story of a thirty-year client, a wedding, six weeks of delay, and a rush charge that added five thousand dollars to a quote. And what happened when she held the line anyway. This episode is for any window treatment business owner who has ever felt their stomach clench when a client questioned their price. And for any owner who wants to stop taking that personally and start handling it professionally.

    351: What Would Lu Do?: The Gap Between Knowing and Doing: A Q1 Reality Check Before We Go Any Further
    Mar 30 2026
    Today on Window Treatments for Profit You started the year with clear decisions. More profit.Faster decisions.A stronger team.Less chaos.Intentional growth. But now Q1 is behind you. So here’s the real question… What actually changed? In this episode, LuAnn walks you through a simple but honest Q1 review to help you assess what was implemented, what stalled, and where execution broke down. Because most business owners don’t have a knowing problem.They have a doing problem. This is not about judgment.It’s about awareness. You’ll identify where your decisions didn’t translate into action and learn how to start recognizing the exact moments where your business shifts off track. Before you can fix the pattern… you have to see it.

    350: What Would Lu Do?: Part 5- Grow Intentionally, Not Accidentally.
    Feb 23 2026
    Today on Window Treatments for Profit This is the fifth and final episode in our WWLD January series:Five Decisions That Change Profit, Time, and Control in Your Window Treatment Business. In this episode, LuAnn Nigara tackles the most overlooked leadership decision of all:What are you intentionally building? After walking through four foundational decisions around profit, leadership, team stability, and operational clarity, this final conversation zooms out to address direction. Because once your business becomes more stable and less reactive, the real danger is no longer chaos.It’s drift. In Grow Intentionally, Not Accidentally, LuAnn unpacks how smart, capable business owners end up overwhelmed not because they made bad decisions, but because they let momentum decide for them. You’ll hear: Why growth on its own is not a strategy How accidental growth quietly erodes profit, standards, and culture Why “saying yes” often feels responsible but costs more than you realize The identity-level questions every owner must answer to grow on purpose Practical action steps to break the cycle of reaction and lead intentionally LuAnn also references her earlier solo episode, WWLD Episode #337: Volume or Value, for listeners who want to go deeper into the tension between different growth models and how easily businesses drift between them without realizing it. This episode is not about growing faster.It’s about growing with clarity. Or deciding not to grow at all. Either way, it’s a decision. Listen in and bring the WWLD series full circle.
