Today With LuAnn Nigara: In Part 4 of our solo sales series, LuAnn tackles a sneaky but costly sales habit: being a chameleon. It's what happens when you adjust your tone, your process—or even your pricing—just to stay in the client's comfort zone. The problem? You're not leading the sale anymore… you're following it. In this episode, LuAnn breaks down: The difference between empathetic communication and giving away your power How trying to be “easy to work with” can quietly weaken your value Real-world scenarios where salespeople shift, bend, and blend—and end up forgettable Phrases that anchor your authority (without being pushy) What true leadership looks and sounds like in a consult Plus, she shares a bonus resource from her other podcast, A Well-Designed Business®, where Sharon L. Sherman helps you understand your own personality type—and how it plays out during the sales process. If you've ever walked out of a sales call thinking, “Why didn't I just say what I knew was right?”—this one's for you.

Today With LuAnn Nigara: Today we're tackling one of the sneakiest sales habits out there—Feature Dumping. Yep, this one shows up when you think you're impressing your client with all the bells and whistles...but what you're really doing is overwhelming them and missing the mark. Here's the truth: your clients don't want a product pitch. They want a solution. They want to know how your expertise—and the beautiful window treatments you deliver—will improve their life, their home, and their peace of mind. In this episode, I walk you through: Why detail-loving pros (like many of us!) fall into this trap How to shift from selling specs to selling results Real-world strategies to connect, build trust, and close the sale This one's for the designer, the installer, the salesperson—anyone in our industry who wants to stop spinning their wheels and start closing more deals.

Today With LuAnn Nigara: What separates the window treatment pros who build wealth from those who just build stress? In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the five non-negotiable traits I've seen in every successful entrepreneur I've interviewed, coached, or worked alongside. After 1,300+ podcast interviews, dozens of coaching clients, and decades building Window Works, one truth is clear: success isn't magic—it's math. It's made of actions, habits, and decisions. Today, I'm walking you through the exact traits you need to cultivate if you want to scale with purpose, lead with confidence, and build a business that actually works—for you, your family, and your future. This is the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to thrive in this business. So grab your notebook and let's get to work. In this episode, I'll share: Why you can't skip the hard lessons (and how to grow from them) What WD-40 has to do with your pricing strategy How a branding breakthrough transformed Window Works after 35 years The Sandra Funk pivot that launched a movement And how Carrie Underwood can teach you something about showing up (yep, really) A Big THANK YOU to Today's Podcast Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Exciting Windows!

Today With LuAnn Nigara: Over the past few episodes of Window Treatments for Profit, we've tackled the four biggest reasons why clients ghost: ✔ Not standing out as the expert ✔ Overwhelming them with too many choices (decision fatigue) ✔ Fear of making a costly mistake ✔ And now, in our final episode of this series—unaddressed concerns or objections. This episode dives into the silent hesitation that stops clients from saying "yes." When they don't voice their doubts, they simply disappear. But as the expert, it's your job to uncover those hidden objections before they turn into ghosting. Listen in as I share:
NA'ALEH YOGA: Nidra Journeys for Deep Rest+ Close Your Eyes and Stay Awake... This ancestral healing Yoga Nidra practice is created in the spirit of the month of Shevat on the Jewish calendar. This is a time for hidden growth and drawing strength from roots beneath the surface, as the trees prepare to bloom in the spring. Designed for emotional healing and spiritual connection, this deep trauma-informed Yoga Nidra journey guides you to explore your ancestral roots, heal generational wounds, and restore balance within. In this practice, you'll connect with the wisdom and energy of your ancestors, while inviting healing and nourishment to flow through your body and soul. Settle in comfortably with a blanket or pillow and prepare to dive deep into somatic experiences that bring clarity, peace, and healing. Episode Summary: Here's what you can expect: Preparation: Begin by settling into a relaxed, comfortable position. Make sure you have any props you need to feel cozy and supported, such as a blanket or pillow. Intention Setting: Set a healing intention for this practice. Consider what you'd like to release or invite into your life and create a heartfelt "I am..." statement that resonates with your soul. Rotation of Consciousness: A body scan, tuning into the physical sensations that arise. Exploring Polarities: You'll explore the contrasting polarities and notice how these experiences affect your body. Visualization: Connect with your ancestral lineage through somatic guidance. Return to Your Intention: Reconnect with the intention you set at the beginning of the practice. Externalization: Gently return to your waking state, bringing the healing energies of the practice with you. Music credits: Intro & ending song: Return Again from Soul Daughter Neshama Carlebach, lyrics & melody written by Reb Shlomo Carlebach, zt'l Background Music from Music of Wisdom: Deep into Nature by Narek Mirzaei A BIG THANK YOU to radiantly soulful Neshama Carlebach for her generosity to include this rendition of her singing parts of her father's beautiful song on the podcast.

In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ The four ways fear of mistakes shows up—and how to spot it early. ✔️ How to bridge the knowledge gap so clients feel informed, not overwhelmed. ✔️ How to counteract financial hesitation and position the true value of custom window treatments. ✔️ The power of social proof, expert recommendations, and clear guarantees to eliminate client doubt.

Quantum Sense and Cultural Differences with Pam Buchanan. Pam Buchanan founded Quantum Sense in May 2023, pioneering Soul Health innovations with 40 years of self-optimization experience. Her journey began with a deep introspection into her career in Silicon Valley, leading to over a decade of research and self-examination that defined Soul Health. "We have entered an age of 'softness'." Pam Buchanan's tips to become more culturally aware are: Ground yourself with your senses; it gives you a sense of security and a positive place; don't react; pause and relax. Hour by hour check in with yourself; 'Where am I?'; am I still in a positive space? We're entering an age of softness; what can I bring to the conversation?

Today With LuAnn Nigara: Welcome to Window Treatments for Profit! We've been diving deep into the topic of ghosting—why clients disappear and how to stop it from happening. This was supposed to be Part 3 of our four-part series, but something happened... A listener, Beatriz, wrote in with a real-life scenario that perfectly ties into our topic. She got ghosted after sending a quote, and when she looked back at her process, she realized she never set a clear pricing expectation. And she's not alone. If you've ever hesitated to talk price in the consultation because you were afraid of losing the client—only to lose them anyway—this episode is for you. I break down exactly where Beatriz lost control of the conversation and share a powerful pricing strategy that puts YOU back in charge.

Today With LuAnn Nigara: If you've been in the window treatment business for any length of time, you've likely experienced this: you pour hours into a proposal or consultation, think you've nailed it, and then—silence. The client disappears, leaving you frustrated, confused, and wondering what went wrong. Let me assure you, ghosting isn't about your worth as a person. But it is often about how you communicate your value as a professional. The good news? This is fixable. A Big THANK YOU to Today's Podcast Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Exciting Windows!
