I lost a deal this week. I think I was TOO friendly. Building rapport went too far. Got caught up talking about grandkids and pets (I don't even have a pet) Sometimes if we are TOO chatty, and become friends BEFORE we do business I think it makes it too easy for them to say "I'll think about it", "I'll do it myself" or "I'll do it later" Can you share a time this happened to you?

The first sale actually happens when a prospect DECIDES that you are on their short list WHEN it's time for them to paint! You stand out for some reason, they saw your truck then 2 weeks later they saw your lawn sign then a month later they saw a social media post. Ka-Ching you made a sale! they BOUGHT you! No money has changed hands but something that always leads to money has. ATTENTION. ATTENTION is the most sought after and fought for commodity on earth right now, and they PAID it to you! Happy Dance The second sale happens when they GIVE you their info... Hope you are enjoying this content. If you want a powerful, reliable system that will allow you to do up to 4 quotes per day and close high ticket paint projects for top dollar consistently at 40-60% please respond to this email with "I want it" and I'll connect with you.

I’m Jeff Lockwood — founder of Lockwood Painting in South-Western Ontario, creator of PaintingBizCoach.com, and a lifelong student of what actually makes painting companies profitable. I started my painting business from scratch after being laid off right after Christmas — no investors, no safety net — just a credit card, a strong work ethic, and a determination to build something meaningful. Fast forward 18+ years, and we’ve grown Lockwood Painting into a nearly 7-figure, multi-award-winning company serving a large rural region. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at PCA Expo, mentoring fellow contractors across North America, and helping painters transform chaos into clarity. I’m also the author of several books for painting contractors, including: - Pitch, Paint, Profit (Painting Business Sales) - Paint Smart, Not Hard (Painting Business Start-Up) - Pro Painter Q&A ( over 80 questions asked and answered) - Mastering the Numbers (all about estimating) - Seasonal Shifts (dealing with sales slow-downs due to a change in seasons) Each one was written to solve real problems I’ve faced — and watched others face — in the field. Let’s grow. Let’s sell smarter. Let’s build profitable painting companies. Welcome to the Crew.
