Episode Summary
In this unique episode, Roger Magalhães shares an inspiring concept for window treatment installers: “one word, nine meanings.”
Sparked by a thoughtful Christmas card, Roger explores the word GRATITUDE and how each letter stands for a core quality that defines the best pros in the industry.
- G: Great – Always aim for greatness and exceed expectations in your installations.
- R: Resilient – Adapt and bounce back when things don’t go as planned.
- A: Adaptable – Stay flexible and find solutions in any situation.
- T: Trustworthy – Build trust with clients by respecting their homes and privacy.
- I: Insightful – Understand products and projects deeply to answer clients' questions competently.
- T: Thoughtful – Plan ahead and make installations seamless for all involved.
- U: Uninhibited – Be open and confident with new clients or installation challenges.
- D: Dependable – Reliability is vital to both the business and client satisfaction.
- E: Engaging – Connect and communicate with clients, designers, and suppliers.
Roger reminds listeners that window treatment installation isn’t always seen as essential, but it’s valued, specialized work. He’s always grateful for the opportunity and aims to pass along lessons learned through his years of experience.
