💰 How Much Should You Pay Your Team Leads? Structure Your Crew for Success!
🚀 The Problem:
Painters often wonder how to properly compensate a crew lead while keeping wages competitive and rewarding responsibility.
🔥 The Pro Painter Coach’s Solution:
✅ Define a Clear Career Path – Apprentice → Painter → Crew Lead → Supervisor. Create a pay structure that rewards leadership and skill.
✅ Increase Pay with Responsibility – Instead of a flat raise, tie raises to leadership tasks.
✅ Set Expectations for Leaders – A Crew Lead isn’t just about painting—they manage workflow, ensure quality, and meet deadlines.
💡 Pro Tip: “Great employees don’t just want a raise—they want growth. Provide a career roadmap, set milestones, and offer incentives.”

🔥 Handling High-End Clients & Urgent Jobs – How to Price Emergency Work!
🚀 The Problem:
Some clients want jobs done ASAP, even when it’s inconvenient. How do you meet demand without sacrificing quality or burning out your crew?
🔥 The Pro Painter Coach’s Solution:
✅ Emergency Pricing Model – Charge a premium for rush jobs. This compensates for overtime, fast-tracked schedules, and extra effort.
✅ Give Two Options – Offer a standard timeline at normal rates OR a priority option at premium pricing. This puts the decision in the client’s hands.
✅ Communicate Clearly – Let clients know that high-quality work takes time. If they want it fast, they need to pay for it.
💡 Pro Tip: “Treat urgent jobs like emergency plumbing calls—premium pricing for premium service. If they need it NOW, make it worth your time.”

Relying only on digital marketing? You’re missing out on massive local opportunities!
🔥 The Pro Painter Coach’s Solution:
✅ Join a Chamber of Commerce – This puts you in direct contact with business owners and potential clients.
✅ Attend BNI & Networking Events – Referrals drive revenue. Be present, be visible, and make connections.
✅ Comment on Social Media Posts from Other Trades – Build relationships with flooring companies, remodelers, and realtors. They refer work ALL the time!
💡 Pro Tip: “The best marketing is word-of-mouth. The more people who know, like, and trust you, the more business you’ll get.”
