Sew Much More

Will Hanke has two passions: supporting our US veterans and helping window treatment and awning businesses tell their story online – providing them with increased exposure, more customers, and higher revenues. For over twenty-seven years he has helped mom & pops, startups, and multi-million dollar companies with their digital marketing strategies. Will hosts monthly online training events and has spoken at conferences across the US on a wide variety of topics from analytics to lead generation through his company, Window Treatment Marketing Pros. Will teaches and helps these business owners learn more about SEO and make better decisions with their marketing dollars. He hosts Marketing Panes, a podcast dedicated to window treatment and awning business marketing. He also has a free private Facebook group called Window Treatment & Awning Marketing Secrets. He is an avid business & marketing blogger and has published several industry books including Triple Your Window Treatment and Awning Leads and 10 Quick Wins: Winning Fast Online for Window Treatment Companies.

If the Sew Much More Podcast has played a role in your journey in any way, I hope you'll consider participating.
Here are the three questions:
What changed for you after listening to, or being on, the Sew Much More Podcast?
That change might have been practical—or it might have been internal.
Second:
What challenge were you facing at the time, and where are you now?
That challenge might still be ongoing, or it might be something you've moved through.
And third:
What one idea or moment stayed with you longer than you expected?
Sometimes it's the smallest insight or someone says things a certain way that makes the biggest difference.
 
The best way to share your story is by leaving a voicemail using SpeakPipe.

A few tips so your message sounds great:
Please use your phone, not your computer. Phones tend to produce much better audio quality.

Find a quiet space where you won't be interrupted.

Aim for 60 to 90 seconds. If you're unsure, err on the shorter side.

At the beginning of your message, please share your first name and, if you're comfortable, your location.

If you would prefer not to leave a voicemail, please send me an email to [email protected].
