She Doubled Her Painting Business — Then Hit These Walls

Rebecca from Zellers Painting already hit last year's total sales with months left on the calendar — she's basically doubled the business. But growth exposed the cracks: estimating that isn't dialed in, a brand-new salesperson she can't cleanly hand pricing to, and a $200K operation still being run off an Excel sheet.In this live Business Breakthrough, Tanner walks her through the fixes: using production rates and square-footage pricing (validated by consistent job costing), why the two biggest levers in any business are money and time, and the exact system stack to get her out of the weeds — Quo for phone and missed-call auto-responses, Slack for team communication, and DripJobs job scheduling for visibility and automatic customer updates.If you're a contractor who's growing fast and feeling your systems start to break, this one's a blueprint.⏱️ Chapters00:00 The two biggest levers: money & time01:22 Meet Rebecca — Zellers Painting02:45 The estimating problem after hiring a salesperson04:30 Production rates & square-footage pricing06:45 Job costing: how to know your pricing is right10:00 What else isn't systemized?
