Business Planning for Painting Contractors, Companies, & Businesses

Creating a business plan for your painting business can be a heck of a challenge… especially if you’re in the middle of the hectic repaint season.

So often, painters let “busyness” cover up major problems in their painting company. Such as…

  • Processing Tons of Work without Making Significant Profits
  • Keeping Prices Too Low for Too Long
  • Running a Company That Is Understaffed
  • Keeping “Bad Painters” Who Cause Constant Headaches
  • Treating Past Customers Like Yesterday’s Garbage
  • Going Through the Motions on Each and Every Estimate Instead of Hitting a Home Run
  • Ignoring Referral Sources to the Business’ Detriment
  • Failing to Go After Huge Commercial Repaints
  • And the List Goes On and On…

In this video, I reveal a quick painting business planning checklist for painters who are in the middle of the busy season.

These are the six best strategies I know for easily finding hidden profits. They should be a “pulse check” for whether or not your painting business is heading in the right direction.

How well are you executing these strategies? Are you planning in your painting business – even as the work keeps rolling in?

“Our first campaign reached $60,041.98! That's a huge percentage of our annual sales! You don't pick the peach orchard just one time. Different peaches ripen every day. Thanks for encouraging us to keep after it!”

“15 requests for quotes and closed and/or completed $23,000 of work and I still have a few more to do. Conservatively this campaign will net $25,000 in found money in the first 45 days! Thanks Brandon!”

“This year has been the biggest year of growth for us. We're double where we were last year. I realized the real money in this business is in the marketing of the services - not the doing of the services.”
