On this episode of Paint ED we have Jason Paris from Paris Painting in Minnesota. Jason has been with us before on Paint ED to talk about the growing pains he faced while his business rapidly expanded in just a few short years. He’s now back to help people better understand how his success was partly due to utilizing a set of free tools that many contractors are familiar with, but which few know how to fully harness. It’s the power of Google Suite. Jason uses gmail, google drive, g-sheets, and docs, but it’s the way he uses them all together, especially for customer relation management, that contractors will be most interested about. Jason is going to be with us next week, March 28 at 4 pm Central for an hour-long webinar about how to use these tools cooperatively. Visit PDCA.org for more info.

Step one: get a big idea. Step two: figure out what to do with that big idea. Painting contractors need to stay a ahead of the curve with big ideas in their industry, but how do you implement those ideas once you get them without drowning or copying/pasting something that doesn't work for your business? Gina Koert, Christian Militello, and Matt Palmisciano from PDCA's Education Committee join us on this podcast to talk about how to gather and implement new ideas that can carry momentum forward and change your business. After an event like the PDCA EXPO 2018, you have to do something big with all that knowledge!
