Why this Course Exists

The skills to make good work into good business.

Creative professionals are often trained to do the work, but not to price it, sell it, protect it, or build a business around it. Architecting the Sale brings together the practical lessons Wayne learned by building an award-winning firm, navigating difficult projects, developing long-term client relationships, and closing high-stakes opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! The first video released in September, and the following four lessons are close behind. You’ll be notified by email as each lesson becomes available. Architecting the Sale is still available for a discounted price. Your purchase gives you immediate access to the course portal and guarantees access to all five lessons as they are released beginning in September 2026.

  • Anyone who sells anything to anyone. Founders, freelancers, sales professionals, service providers, agency owners, attorneys, consultants, accountants, real-estate agents, coaches, designers, and architects. The frameworks translate because the fundamentals of selling and running a business aren’t industry dependent.

  • No. Each video stands on its own. Most viewers watch in order anyway.

  • No. Wayne happens to be an architect, and he draws on his years of running a design firm, but the principles in this series apply across any creative or service-based business. Selling your value, pricing with confidence, and closing without flinching are skills that transfer. Wayne’s context is architecture. The content is universal.

  • The series covers the five things that actually determine whether a professional gets paid what they’re worth: knowing their value, reading the room, making the case, handling the price conversation, and closing. Each video is about twenty minutes—long enough to go deep, short enough to watch on a lunch break.

  • Yes. Once you have access and each video is released, they are yours to watch on your own schedule, as many times as you want. There are no live sessions, no cohorts, and no deadlines. You can start with Chapter 01 and work through in order, or go straight to whatever you’re most interested in.
