SEN Design Group is unique because we focus our education program and 40+ assets on helping members improve their skills in business management and professional salesmanship. We have found that too often, business owners believe their design talent will be the key factor to the success of their business. However, profit is actually the determining factor of business success and sustainability. Therefore, SEN University programs are predominantly focused on finance, business management, sales process, marketing, sales management, team-building, and profitability. Industry-specific instruction in these disciplines is integrated which augments member results. SEN even includes the DesignAlign™ Selling System Technology with every membership, which speeds up operational efficiency, revenue growth and profitability.
