Big thank you to the Painting Contractors Association - PCA for an amazing Residential Conference this past week! It's great to see so many amazing painting contractors coming together, sharing ideas, learning, and improving their businesses. I'm truly honored to have been among the speakers this year!

You probably never get price objections. But if you do come find out how to close them.

5 reasons why you want to be in Nashville for the PCA Residential Forum. 1. Stay on top of the trends. The residential remodel market will exceed $500 billion this year. Reason #1: Why not grab a bigger share of the market for your company? Reason 2. Find out what's working in Marketing. Reason #3: All the best contractors have invested heavily in educating themselves. There's no better place to do that than next week in Nashville. #4. Why not learn once and for all how to handle those god-awful price resistance and objections? #5 Hey, it's Nashville; who doesn't want to go there?

What a Simple Sales System Looks Like

1. Pre-qualify every lead. Ask the right questions before the estimate to make sure they’re serious and fit your ideal customer profile.
2. Show professionalism from the start. Have clear estimate templates, branded materials, and a defined process for presenting options.
3. Educate, don’t sell. Walk the homeowner through what great prep, protection, and products actually mean for their home. Customers don’t pay for paint — they pay for peace of mind.
4. Follow up with a purpose. Roughly 20–30% of jobs are won in follow-up calls or emails that most contractors never make.
5. Track your data. Close rates, revenue per estimate, and lead sources aren’t vanity metrics — they’re your roadmap.
