Painter Business TrainingFour years learning to cut in. Not one hour on quoting, cashflow or keeping a crew.
Painting business training for owners who learned the trade, not the business. This is where you pick up quoting, margin, systems, marketing and leadership, built for Australian and New Zealand painting businesses by an owner who built his own trade business, not a lecturer.
The week this is about
Sound Like Your Painting Business?
Your apprenticeship covered paint, not profit
You can spec a system for chalky render and pick the right nap for a rolled ceiling. Nobody taught you gross margin, GST on progress claims, or what a painter actually costs you per hour once the award and downtime are in.
Every lesson is paid for out of your own margin
You learn that dark colours need a third coat by wearing it. You learn about lead paint on a pre-1970 weatherboard job by finding it mid-strip. The tuition is real money and it comes straight off the job you are standing on.
The advice you get is contradictory
Ask five people whether you need a painting licence in Victoria and you will get five answers, because most of what ranks online is written to sell a course. Same with pricing, same with hiring. You are making decisions on hearsay from the trade counter.
Every year you learn it the hard way is a year of margin you handed to the job instead of banking for yourself.
Training
Here Is What We Do About It.
The Learning Hub gives you the full lesson library inside the Tradies App for $199 a month: quoting, pricing, systems, marketing, hiring, leadership. Business Foundations runs weekly live sessions hosted by Greg Allan, so you can bring this week's real quote and get it worked through, not theory.
How it works
Three Steps, Starting Tonight.
Start tonight, for nothing
Join the free Tradies App and the starter courses open straight away. No card, no trial clock counting down while you are still on site.
Work the module that matches the problem
You do not start at lesson one and work through the lot. You start at the thing that is costing you money this month, and the library is organised so you can find it.
Take it live
Business Foundations runs weekly with Greg Allan, so the module you watched on Tuesday gets pressure tested against your actual numbers on Thursday.
Why Greg
You speak to the owner who has already done it.
Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.
He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.
Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.
What changes for you
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.
You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.
The old way
More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.
Most trade businesses grow the same way.
More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.
None of it gets paid for.
So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.
Or hires an office person to do it.
The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.
And the owner is still the one everything waits on.
Where we take you
More work. More profit. More of you left.
The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.
You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.
Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.
The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.
The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.
The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.
Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.
What changes
What Painting Business Training Actually Changes.
Three things painting business owners walk away able to do.
Price a repaint from your real costs instead of copying the painter down the road.
Read your own numbers well enough to know which jobs actually made money.
Run a week where the crew paints and you work on the business for a full day.
