I joined the painters choice program, and so far it has worked exactly as they said it would work, i'm very pleased with these guys and give them huge props for being a stand up company. of course i live in a small town and don't get a lot of leads from them but i have closed 100% of the leads i have received. thank you for being a great company,, and i have now officially (as far as i can find) watched EVERY video. great job and great info,,
@@PaintingBusinessPro ... I'm also a 40 year video production pro... and I know Audio can be more than 50% of any video production. Bad audio will override good content.

Make it happen my man! Glad my videos are helping/inspiring you to get your own thing going. If you already have painting experience, all that's missing is the business side.

Short term new is ok but let me say, 25 yrs in the game has educated me new is hard to many ppl can undercut you, To many will beat you on price. Repaint is an enigma to the unexperienced. New every one knows what that Jose is worth.i used to love new...because it ment my quality shone......no one gives a shit good is good enough and you cant beat immigrants cant do it half the team are off the books.
I'd love to see that script you speak of but it doesn't seem to be in you description, ive run into this same issue on some of you other videos as well. Great content but the no follow through is a bit, well, expected from a sales pitch. Their's always a catch.
Hello Erick, am starting a painting business but I don't have the skills, lucky enough I have a contract with a deco paints manufacture who wants me to do marketing for them, that's how I got interested into the business. I'm currently doing flyers and emailing to constractors, realtors and project developers. Am not doing door to door as am in a foreign country ( South Africa) and the locals are not so freindly with the foreigner and knocking on someone's gate or door will get you in trouble, so can you give me more tips on the marketing.
That’s dumb James. The people with condos often won’t wanna hire you bcuz they’ll think you are not good enough painters to do larger jobs. They’ll assume your lines are sloppy, assume you aren’t licensed or assume you have a super small crew. And then you’ll lose big money on customers who need larger jobs for bigger homes. Plus most lead services can’t differentiate between big and small homes/condos so you’ll lose a lot of money on advertising for leads you would be choosing to not sell. Haha don’t start a biz if you lack common sense
I agree with: Plus most lead services can’t differentiate between big and small homes/condos so you’ll lose a lot of money on advertising for leads you would be choosing to not sell. I don't agree with pretty much everything else. Especially the insults. It's important people ask questions and learn! Everyone has to learn somehow. The questions not asked are the ones that will burn you. The best bet is to focus on residential interior and exterior repaints to start. That's what gives you a big enough market, but still keeps it simple.
They’re simply bad customers usually. Classy customers with money typically have well behaved families and respect people they talk to enough to not try to rush off the phone. You can try and sell these lower quality customers but you should put them on a “low priority list”. Meaning: Don’t Drive an hour for an estimate to these people before confirming their budget, schedule and that they’re ready to buy. Don’t waste hours answering their questions. Don’t give them info on paint selections that they can then use to hire a cheaper fly by night painter and give him your valuable info. Don’t provide them a fully detailed and typed up estimate, bcuz they’ll just use it to “bid shop”. Instead give your price VERBALLY, and say you’ll be ready to send them the contract once you have their 100% commitment to move forward.
We have a lot for resources for you! Obviously a lot here on UA-cam, some more free resources on our website, and also a training program you can apply for if you are ready for something like that. You got this 💪 www.paintingbusinesspro.com
Customers who ask a dozen questions are just compliant personality types who have lots of questions. People are busy with their lives and they don't get estimates for fun. We have a high sales rate on pretty much all types of people and estimates.
That’s true. Customers that ask all of the questions like that before signing, usually just want to get all of your expertise, so they can hire some cheap illegals from 7-11 or a cheap handyman. Unfortunate but reality much of the time. Typically you need to watch out when customers are asking for exactly how many amount of gallons of paint you think it’s going to take, or what your recommendations are on the brand, line, finish for paint you recommend. When they are asking you these two questions, they typically are going to take your information and hire a cheap worker to do it. But if they are asking questions related to your schedule, or your timing, or your warranty, that’s usually better. Remember, you don’t need to answer every question that a customer asks you. If a customer is asking you for design or paint consulting information, you should politely let them know that you would be happy to answer that, as soon as you guys have the details locked in and have a signed contract. Tell them that that information is very valuable, and it takes some time to give, so you are happy to give it to paying customers. If they ask why you won’t give it for free, tell them that it’s one of the big reasons to hire you, is because of the valuable information and management that your company brings. And that that is not free If they get too confrontational, you can politely ask them if they intend on taking that information and hiring someone cheaper, like workers directly. If they say no, then you should say that whichever qualified company they hire should be happy to give them that information. And that if it’s you, you would be happy to provide it free of charge.
Once again great advice , especially the momentum part .
Great!

Is it good idea to ask the costumer to pay for a survey fee or estimate fee before visiting the house.
No
Good question. I found myself wasting doing free estimations for people

The best I can offer is all of my online advice. I don't know a lot of the specifics in your market, unfortunately!
Hey Eric awesome content! Just wondering what you think about focusing exclusively on painting condo interiors to start?
Thanks man. Specialization is very good when yo are first starting out. But I don't know how big of a business you'll build staying in just that lane.

Hi Eric, I've clicked in EVERY link you put down there and neither of them took me to a script... Please advise.
Sorry this is an old video. Shoot me an email to eric@paintingbusinesspro.com and I'll get it sent to you.
I cant stand painting companies that startup and the owners have no knowledge of actual painting
Just beat them then! You certainly have an advantage. Crush em!
IndustrialCOMMIE I love them. They get me lots of work. 👍🏻
I particularly enjoy underbidding people like you
@@cascadianapplications7124 you are happy to be paid less?
Some good points
But how to deal with Customers who are rushing to get off phone
Or have kids crying in back ground
Ask them if they have 5 minutes or if there is a better time to talk.
They’re simply bad customers usually. Classy customers with money typically have well behaved families and respect people they talk to enough to not try to rush off the phone. You can try and sell these lower quality customers but you should put them on a “low priority list”.

In my experience Custumers who ask a dozen questions don't pull the trigger just picking your brain
Those who ask 5 or less questions usually hire us
Customers who ask a dozen questions are just compliant personality types who have lots of questions. People are busy with their lives and they don't get estimates for fun. We have a high sales rate on pretty much all types of people and estimates.

So basically the idea is to pressure them, but in a subtle way?
Not exactly, no. Pressure will almost always hurt sales on the overall.
