In your painting business it’s really important to constantly evaluate key metrics. One of the key factors that painting contractors sometimes miss is that profit is so critical. It sounds basic, it sounds fundamental but there are so many painting contractors that are just focused on their gross revenues. They look at their sales number and think that is the most important metric in their business. What you really want to do is start by looking at your profits. Everything else is going to branch out from your profits so that is really the starting point of your success. Then when we look at profits we can plan around those numbers and develop your painting business based around your profit centers.
