Business Coaching for Painters & Decorators:
Elevate Your Craft, Elevate Your BusinessAs a painter and decorator, you’ve likely faced the same challenge many in the industry do—constantly juggling small jobs with the bigger, more profitable jobs you actually want—it's important to factor in certain days of the week for smaller jobs whilst targeting the bigger commercial or luxury projects. Small jobs may likely always be your bread and butter but slowly we can change this to attract bigger profitable jobs along the way.Download Brochure
When coaching painters and decorators things are slightly different, we need quantity (more jobs) over huge price increases. This doesn't mean we can't add value and charge more (we do) but we need more eyes on the business and we need to focus more on marketing to allow that phone to ring more. With more phone calls through our marketing strategies we learn how to sell more, with more sales we need more decorators.
With more sales we need more staff therefore we must learn recruitment. I know people talk a LOT about lack of people available and not being able to get the right staff but there is a way and this way involves you creating a robust recruitment system where we learn to attract the 'right people' into the business and by adding various perks along the way we 'keep' these good people and continue to attract more. Recruitment is key to quantity here.
Another area not to overlook is your website. Word of Mouth and recommendations are fantastic but that level of lead generation will only ever make you a wage, it will only ever allow you to have one team and it is highly likely you will be IN that team meaning you are never gonna get off the tools!
Ensure your website is asking for the jobs you want (as above) ensure it is clean and easy to navigate and make sure it is the most professional in your area.

When was the last time you made a large purchase and didn't check out the business or the reviews. chase and chase for good reviews on your favoured platform (ideally google) and do NOT give up, if you request a review and the client doesn't leave one chase them again (people are busy, it's not that they don't want to give one they are just busy)
Prospective clients will choose the company with 25 reviews over the one with 10 - Don't forget that!
Chase Chase Chase for reviews and if you have done work for a friend or family ask them, if you are subbied out by another contractor ask them too. Aim for a minimum of 25 reviews but the more the better.
Top Tip - Request a review at 7pm at night via email/text and provide the link for them to make it super easy and quick.
For all of the above tips I have just given you I have 100 more. Lets take a look at what other benefits business coaching will bring to your business.
Knowing and not doing is the same as not knowing. Having an accountability partner will make 'not doing' a thing of the past. By investing in one of our programmes you are immediately financially accountable (this is your family's money) but equally you now have a business coach and the programme itself pushing you on and willing you forward.
Our courses are set up to be 'drip fed' to you at just the right time. for example there is no point in doing the sales module until you have a plethora of good 'quality' leads hence why lead generation module comes before the sales module. There is little point in doing the recruitment module until we have more sales and the diary is full for 2-3 teams and so on. All our programme modules are a replica of how I done it in my own business.
If you don’t know where you want to be in 5 years, you are already there.

It's our job (you and me) to sort this business, to get the business working without YOU in it thus enabling you to go and enjoy life with your family and friends. in all honesty for me a work/life balance is more important than money.
