TIPS & TRICKS

Have you ever had to paint offices on the 3rd, 4th or 5th floor of a building?

If so, you'll want to check out this trick we found to help make the process of bringing in the equipment and paint a lot more efficient.

Well, after being away for over 5 years... I"M BACK!

To be honest, for the longest time, I thought that maybe I was done with shooting painting and color videos. 

But then, something really big happened recently that I absolutely wanted to share with all of you.

So, I dusted off the lights, camera and setup my studio so I could share this exciting thing in a video for you. But in the process of doing so, I realized that the biggest reason why I stopped shooting videos all those years ago... well that reason no longer applied.

So, here I am back at it again... 

Performance... Cure Time... & CRAZY Flex!

That's, in short, the key reason why each one of these 3 Caulking Tubes deserves its place in our kit bag.

All 3 can be found at Sherwin Williams: 950A, 1050QD & SHER MAX

Be sure to watch this weeks Tips & Tricks Video to discover where we use each one, and why. 

If you're running your own Painting Business, you owe it to yourself to watch this video to make sure you're not making this mistake when advertising your business.

"What's this? Do you have a printer in your car?!?"

I can't even count the number of times a client has asked me this after I presented to them a printed computerized quote on the spot.

Not only does a Mobile Office like the one I'm about to show you allow you to write and print estimates on the spot, but the fact that you have to leave the clients house for a few minutes while you do so, offers you and your clients an incredible benefit that might surprise you.

Be sure to watch the video for an insiders look at the MANY benefits of having a Mobile Office.

Over the years, we received many questions about the specific types of Roller Sleeves we used in the videos we published online. 

That's why, we decided to shoot this video where, not only do we reveal our 2 Favorite Roller Sleeves. We also explain where we use each one and why.

A few years ago, I was doing this Color Consultation for a client and one of  the first thing she said was:

"I just want LIGHTER colors"

Following this statement, I asked her a few questions and the more she spoke, the more I started to feel like lighter colors really wasn't what she wanted... but that perhaps, her mind had seen this as her only option.

So to be sure, I started to talk to her about MUSIC and how it's very similar to COLOR when it comes to the songs we enjoy and the ones we don't.

I go into more details to explain this analogy in the video below, but the idea is this:

"If you really enjoy a song, you can listen to it a bit louder than other songs. And if you don't like a song, well... you can listen to something else."

Of course, changing a song is much easier than changing the colors in a house which is why I think her mind had thought of the next best thing... bringing down the volume (going with a lighter color).

Have you ever been asked this question...

"When do you think you'll be done?"

Whether this question came from your client or your contractor, being able to answer this question accurately is extremely important if you want them to be happy.

But there's another person who can benefit greatly from knowing how to accurately predict how long a project will take you to finish... and that's YOU!

Because as you'll soon discovery in this week's Tips & Tricks video, the key revolves around knowing your PRODUCTION NUMBERS. And knowing what those are, is also the easiest way for you to improve your efficiency... which leads to more money in your pocket!

If you're a professional painter, odds are you heard this one before... It's the wrong color!

In this weeks Tips & Tricks Video, I'll share with you a great example of how this Color Illusion had a homeowner, and even their Interior Decorator convinced that we had put the wrong color.

Once you understand the theory behind this, you'll be able to help your clients  (and yourself) solve... or even better, prevent this type of color illusion. 

RECOMMENDED COURSE: COLOR 101

The biggest problem I see in the Painting Industry is the fact that there are no mandatory schools Painters need to attend before entering the industry. This means that a lot of the important KNOWLEDGE that would typically be learned in school is lacking.

But this also becomes a great opportunity...

Because in an industry where KNOWLEDGE is lacking, the ones who have it gain a MAJOR ADVANTAGE on the competition.
