  Jason Grubbs: From Pastor to Owning a Painting Company

  Oct 3, 202647 minS1

  Selling to be liked vs. selling to close? This is just one topic Mark and Jason get into! Jason Grubbs from Indiana left his full-time job as a pastor of 16 years and started a painting business. Jason opens up about hiring his first employee and underpricing his early jobs. Mark shares his six-step approach to handling customer complaints and explains how DISC personality profiling can help owners understand why they hesitate at the close, build stronger teams, and decide where they belong in the business. And Jason's parting advice for any contractor: don't quit.

  Cameron Loughlin: What I Learned Starting a 2nd Painting Company

  Sep 19, 202647 minS1

  Cameron built a company, it was bought out, and then 2 years later he started another one! Two great bits of advice from this episode: “the thing that allowed us to triple in revenue was tapping into our past customer list” and "try to be a customer service company that just happens to paint" rather than the other way around. In this episode, Mark and Cameron dig deep. Stay until the end to hear what Cameron learned being on the inside of the company that bought his old business, which helped him be more successful the 2nd time around. And the surprise twist - hear why Cameron moved with his wife and 3 kids to India during the interim.
