Transforming The World Of Paint Contracting: Scott Lollar's Podcast
We're excited to have Tom Droste, co-founder of Estimate Rocket along with his wife Kathy, who
took an unexpected leap from accounting into the world of software development. Prepare to be
captivated by his fascinating journey, from his early interest in the burgeoning computer industry
to developing his first estimating program for a humble plumber. Hear about the genesis of
personal computers for use in estimating, the thrill of the early tech world, and how Tom honed
his skills to create a software that caters to the unique needs of different trades.
Estimate Rocket was born from an understanding of the commonalities across trades and was
designed to be flexible and adaptable. Tom shares how the power of word-of-mouth helped the
growth of his company and how he identified the underserved trades sector. He takes us
through the features of Estimate Rocket, from estimating to the allocation of projects, and how it
exponentially improves ROI in marketing for contractors. A deep dive into the use of "tags," the
importance of a reliable information repository, and the science behind determining project
success makes this a must-listen for anyone in the trade and contracting field.
Wrapping up our chat, Tom talks about the company's supportive team, his innovative
Collaborative Tuesdays program, and the dynamic changes in the contracting world. He
discusses how virtual communication is revolutionizing the industry, particularly in the context of
the Covid-19 pandemic, and how Estimate Rocket can be a game-changer in the sales process.
With his eye on the future of painting, Tom's insights are enlightening and inspire a sense of
curiosity about the future of the trades industry. Join us on this exciting voyage with Tom Droste,
a visionary who's transforming the world of contracting with his innovative software.
