In this episode, Stephanie sits down with Patrick Dew, owner of Fresh Coat Painters of Beaumont, to talk about how smart painting contractors can rise above low-price competition and win more premium jobs.

Patrick shares his journey from lean manufacturing to successful painting business owner, and the mindset shifts that helped him scale quickly — from creating a professional client experience to mastering in-home sales presentations, local marketing, and follow-up systems that convert.

You'll learn:

✅ Why competing on price is the fastest way to lose profits and burn out
✅ How to use "leave-behind" folders, professional branding, and fast quoting to build instant trust
✅ The #1 most valuable thing you can do as a business owner to grow your painting company
✅ How to win repeat business and referrals by focusing on client experience — not just paint quality
✅ Why marketing and presentation separate pros from the "chuck in a truck" crowd

Whether you're just starting out or already running a six-figure operation, this episode gives you actionable strategies to help you scale smarter, close faster, and dominate your local market.
