PaintED Podcast

In this episode, Brandon Pierpont goes beyond ad tactics and shows painting contractors how to turn attention into revenue. Live from PCA’s Women in Paint, he breaks down winning Meta ads (CPM, conversion, creative that drives engagement), the “micro-sales” inside your sales process (speed-to-lead, pre-estimate value, selfie confirmations), and the review, referral, and neighborhood-take-rate plays that compound ROI. Practical, no-fluff steps to lower CPL, raise close rates, and build a profitable growth engine.

Change can be hard for everyone involved in your business. The owner, the leadership team and the field teams. In this episode, we have Bracken Anderson, Senior Partnerships Manager at BusyBusy join us to share some insight and tips on how to help implement tech successfully into your jobsite operations!

90% of contractors take the WRONG approach to Meta ads.

1️⃣Have someone make your creative.

2️⃣Run the ads

3️⃣Hope for the best 🤞

Instead, according to contractor marketing expert Phil Risher, you should make ORGANIC content first, figure out what drives engagement, and then reuse THAT as your ad creative.

This simple shift can save you thousands in wasted ad spend.

Does your brand feel the same as every one of your competitors?

You’re not alone. In the trades, it can be hard to truly stand out. To your customer, every company looks about the same. And EVERYONE’S website says they’re the best.

…you’ll be fine.
