  • Business Management: November 16 - 19

"In terms of talents and skill sets, our industry has the most diverse dealer population of any on the face of the planet. From artisans to craftsmen, designers to sales people, young entrepreneurs to business savvy executives, the skills required to successfully manage these businesses are enormously varied and complex.

The most essential skills, and often the most difficult to obtain, involve managing cash and marketing your business. Without these skills many have found themselves unable to cope with the challenges of our current economy, and have been forced to make very difficult decisions. With these skills, however, many are taking advantage of their less experienced competitors and are positioning their businesses to not only survive, but to thrive.

I am unaware of any other source of business education so specifically focused to the needs of kitchen and bath dealers. What the SEN Design Group has developed in this one day business seminar is as efficient and concise as it gets. Now more than ever I highly recommend that everyone owning or managing a kitchen and bath dealership invest the time to attend."

“I wanted to thank you for your hospitality and the hospitality of your entire staff while I was in Chapel Hill earlier this week attending the Design Associate Boot Camp.

I enjoyed the class and learned a lot about the cabinet business and picked up some great ideas that I hope to implement soon, so that Daniel Lumber can be more profitable. Thank you.

I noted this in my survey, but wanted to re-iterate the fact that I enjoyed the fast paced full days. So many seminars, including many of the NKBA seminars that I have attended, are way too drawn out and too much emphasis is spent on how much partying was done the night before. This was one of the best seminars that I have attended, and one that I really felt that I got my money’s worth. As an owner, it makes me more willing to send employees thru these classes because I will be getting my employees trained rather than an extra paid vacation.”
