What should a painting sales rep be doing outside of selling the job? Jon and Michael break down where sales responsibilities should start and stop: Google reviews, managing projects, handling complaints, collecting deposits, invoicing, and follow-ups. They also dig into why some industries use a one-call close model, and why painting companies need clearer handoffs to scale without burning out their sales team.

Most painting contractors lose (or win) the job long before the customer ever sees the price. In this episode of Price. Sell. Paint., Jon and Michael break down exactly what you should bring with you to every on-site estimate if you want to stand out and close more work.

They talk through the full sales kit: how you show up (vehicles, uniforms, first impression), why doing quotes on an iPad with software like PaintScout is still a huge differentiator, and the simple tools that instantly boost your credibility, like laser measures and measuring wheels instead of pacing things off or wrestling a tape measure.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I bringing enough or way too much to estimates?” this episode gives you a practical checklist and mindset to tighten up your on-site sales game.

Garrett Martell from Two Day Painting joins Jon and Michael to break down how he grew from a $10k credit card and door-knocking to an $8.5M painting company with 60% gross and nearly 25% net profit.

He walks through his six–rep sales team structure, why his best closers come from project management, and the exact sales system they follow in the home. You’ll hear how he uses discounts as a marketing tool, handles price objections without racing to the bottom, and keeps culture strong enough that key reps have stayed for nearly a decade. If you want a real playbook for scaling sales without blowing up margins, this is it.
