Overview
The Blind Brokers Network is a Franchise Business Opportunity
that is set up to allow independent window covering dealers
to compete and beat the “big boys.” The Blind
Brokers Network provides training, pricing, systems, and
ongoing education to its members.
We are a co-op. As such, we break even on your start up investment, and we make a few points from the vendors for developing new marketing programs, providing training, producing informational videos and manuals, and managing information. The Blind Brokers Network teaches you how to buy at deep discounts and sell high volume, and when you succeed, everyone wins. This is why the Blind Brokers Network is so focused on your start-up and ongoing support. You’ll be able to profitably sell custom blinds and shutters directly to homeowners for LESS than the homeowners would pay going to Home Depot or Lowe’s and doing it themselves!

Training & Support
Blind Brokers Network is committed to providing the tools
and knowledge you need to succeed in your own business
We know what it takes to build a successful window coverings business, and we’ll work closely with you to give you the tools and the knowledge you’ll need for success, including these important areas:
- Leadership: We’ll teach you how to lead your company so others will follow you.
- Marketing: We'll start with our proven marketing plan, which has been painstakingly developed through more than 20 years' experience in the window coverings industry. Then we’ll customize that marketing plan to fit your particular needs and goals. We teach you how to employ “guerilla marketing” tactics that will give you a competitive advantage in your marketplace on a small budget. And you’ll learn how to manage the “4 P’s of Marketing”: Price, Product, Place and Promotion.
- Money: We’ll teach you how to make and manage your money. Using our custom-built QuickBooks Pro system, you’ll learn how to track the critical numbers in your business. Our financial management package includes a DVD on how to use QuickBooks Pro, a download of the Blind Brokers Network Chart of Accounts, and two hours with a CPA to make sure you’re on the right track.
- Management: You’ll learn how to use our systems to manage everything from your people to orders to installations and your growth. We’ve developed and tested systems for all aspects of your new business, so you can get started immediately.
- Customer Satisfaction: This is all about following up and making the customer 100% happy every time. It involves everything from how you dress and how you present your samples, to how you install and how you ask for referrals.
- Lead Generation: This is where your guerilla marketing training comes to life. We’ll show a technique that will impress even the savviest of marketers, and is FREE in most states. You’ll have access to attractive door fliers that will generate up to 75% of all your business. You’ll learn how to build referral relationships with decorators; this is like adding 6 to 10 sales people for free. And you’ll receive six effective systems for winning new customers.
- Lead Conversion: Also known as “Sales.” We use a simple, yet powerful selling system that anyone can learn. We call it “Educational Selling,” and it’s based on the fact that customers prefer to buy from a knowledgeable professional who can help them get the product they want at a fair price, rather than from a salesperson who is merely trying to "sell something."
