Painter Business CoachingNobody on site can tell you whether to take the builder's rate. You decide alone, every time.
Painting business coaching for owners who are making every call on their own: whether to take on volume new build work, whether to put on another painter, whether to hold the price. You work with Greg Allan, who has faced the same decisions in his own business.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Painting Business?
You are the only one who decides anything
The builder wants a single per house rate for the whole estate, take it or leave it. Say yes and you fill the calendar at a margin you cannot check. Say no and you watch another painter fill it instead. There is nobody to test the decision with.
The problem painter you keep not dealing with
He is slow, his cutting in needs a second pass, and you go back after hours to fix it. You have not had the conversation because you cannot afford to lose a body before the handover. So it runs another six months.
Your partner is the only sounding board
At the kitchen table you talk through whether to buy the second van, whether the estimate stacks up, whether to keep chasing the builder who pays late. They love you, but they have never quoted a repaint or run a crew in the rain.
Decisions made alone get made late, and the price of a late decision in a painting business is a season you cannot get back.
Coaching
Here Is What We Do About It.
You work with Greg Allan, directly. He built his own trade business and loves getting under the hood of yours: the numbers, the crew, the pipeline, the decisions you are making alone. Places are limited, and he only takes owners who are committed and willing to learn something new. It starts with a chat.
How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Have a chat with Greg
Talk to Greg about anything in your trade business. If he has time you book in. If not, you join his waitlist and he invites you when a place opens.
Get accepted
Places are limited. Greg only takes owners who are committed, disciplined and willing to learn something new.
Work the plan on a cadence
Not a pep talk. A plan with numbers against it, worked with Greg on a fixed rhythm, and he notices when you quietly stop doing it.
Why you get me
I built the coaching company everyone else runs. Then I took it apart.
Most coaching companies work the same way. You enquire, you get a salesperson. You sign up, you get a coach who has never run a trade business.
I know, because I built one. I grew the Academy to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches. It ran without me.
And I hated it. The bigger it got, the further I was from the owners I started it for.
What gets me up in the morning is getting under the hood of a trade business and helping the owner hit their goals in the least time possible.
So I restructured the whole thing.
When you enquire, you speak to me. If you are accepted into the Academy, you work with me. Directly.
And with agentic AI, the results come sooner than most owners can imagine.
Places are limited. I only take on owners who are committed and ready to do the work.
Who you will be talking to
I built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with more than 1,950+ five-star reviews.
A general manager runs it day to day. I live in Byron Bay.
I have trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
What AI actually changes
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing your computer work, and you paying for all of it.
You stay with your customers and your team. Agents run the office your way.
The old way
Grow, then hire people to do the computer work.
Every new customer brought more quoting, invoicing, chasing, scheduling and reporting.
So you hired people to do it. Office staff, bookkeepers, admin.
None of it is billable, and every hire costs wages, sick leave and another person to manage.
Profit and time only grew as fast as you could add people.
The new way
Keep the human work. Give everything else to agents.
Your people do what only people can do: looking after customers and leading the team.
Everything else goes to agents that do it your way, instantly, any time it is needed.
No sick leave. No capacity problems. They scale as far as the business does.
So the only people you add are the ones facing your customers and your team.
A human-centred business that runs on systems you build in minutes. Nobody still running the old way can compete with it.
What changes
What Painting Business Coaching Actually Changes.
Three things painting business owners walk away able to do.
Take a builder's rate to Greg and know the margin before you answer.
Have the hard conversation with the painter you have been avoiding.
Set a price you can hold when the client says someone else is cheaper.
