Private Lessons Take Faux Training To A New Intimate Level

When you try to learn anything there are tons of options. You can check out a book from the library. That's convenient, but impersonal. Videos and audio books are the same. You could also sit in a classroom. While this is great for hands-on and collaborative benefits you will also be in a class with other people. That can be a good or bad thing. Another option is to have someone train you one-on-one how to do something. That's what we are doing. My lovely and beautiful wife has been doing private lessons. Even though the investment is a little more than a live class you have the full attention of an expert. For more information on our faux finish services, training, and decorative painting products check us out at www.mojofaux.com.

New blood, new perspective

Like most people in our industry, we are always looking for the new angle on business. I am a firm believer in leveraging referral partner relationships to get leads. The fact is that over time if you keep dipping into the same well it can become dry. Becaus of all the information we get calling or emailing people too much can start to look a little too much like stalking. Today I got out of the box and went around to several businesses to meet new people and mix it up. With samples in hand the folks I met were warm and welcoming. I love meeting new people being a people collector. A few of them said that they have clients asking for our types of services. Now it's just time to nurture these relationships. This is just confirmation that when things get slow it's time to start marketing. As always check out our faux finish site when you get a moment.
