In this episode, I dive into a strategy that can give your painting business a massive advantage—booking jobs for the next summer, starting as early as January.

By securing work months in advance, you can lock in revenue, offer clients the best pricing before inflation hits, and give yourself a head start on summer production.

I’ll walk you through the system I used to book $405,000 to $1,000,000 worth of exterior painting work each year, even in the cold winters of Saskatchewan.

We’ll also cover how to use a CRM to track detailed customer notes, color-coded production schedules, and offer targeted marketing strategies like door-to-door campaigns and early booking incentives.

Hey, it’s Mike Gore-Hickman here, and in this episode, I’m talking about something we all need to master—momentum. Whether you’re just getting your painting business off the ground or you’ve hit a lull, creating and sustaining momentum can be a game-changer.

I share my thoughts on why starting a business can feel like rubbing wet sticks together, trying to spark a fire. It’s tough, but once you get that fire going, it’s much easier to keep it burning. I dive into strategies you can use to go from a slow start to consistent growth—whether it’s booking your first few jobs, bringing on new painters, or creating reliable lead flow.

I talk about the importance of action. That means going door-to-door, rallying your family and friends to help out, and doing the hard work that’s often free but requires your time and energy. I break down exactly how to canvass neighborhoods effectively, get your team involved, and turn simple actions into life-changing momentum for your business.
