Concrete Countertop Success Blueprint
Step One: Learn the Foundational Technical Skills
You need a solid foundation to start a successful concrete countertop business.
Our Foundational Self-Study Series provides all the technical information you need to avoid problems with from-scratch mixes and reinforcement how-to, as well as each step of the concrete countertop creation process, from templating to installation.
For the ultimate foundation, take our 3-day Intensive Precast Countertops, where you'll learn side by side from Jeff Girard, performing every step hands on and also learning not just how, but why.
Both self-study and hands-on students can apply to join the Guided Technical Success Program, for personal support from Jeff Girard to help you avoid problems and be more profitable.
Step Two: Build your Advanced Technical Skills
Ramp up to high production, high quality concrete countertops with GFRC, rapid-curing cements and advanced sealers. Expand your repertoire with three-dimensional pieces like sinks and fireplaces.
Attend the 2-day GFRC for Countertop Pros and:
- Learn how to create amazing three-dimensional sinks, fireplaces and more with GFRC.
- Learn how to use rapid curing CSA cements and UV sealer to ramp up your production and increase your profit margins.
- Learn the smartest techniques without artsy filler. Just the facts that you need to use GFRC most effectively.
Also learn how to make your own sink molds for all types of sinks: integral, vessel, ramp and more.
Step Three: Lay your Business Success Foundation
Sell more concrete countertops, using the most effective and least expensive marketing and sales systems.
You need far more than concrete skills to sell concrete countertops. While a technical foundation is important, it doesn't matter how high-quality your product is if you don't know how to sell it.
Learn how with the self-study course Sales and Marketing 101.
Step Four: Accelerate with Advanced Business Builders
Get serious about building your business.
Gain more confidence, get motivated and stay on track with the Guided Business Success Program. The program includes Sales and Marketing 101, Project Management 101 and ongoing support from experts and peers.
