THE-BEE - Phillips, WI

THE-BEE - Phillips, WI: "At that time Janssen was employed as a sports equipment salesman but was aware of a demand for dependable people to do exterior painting. He began doing that type of work part-time and found that he preferred painting because he could be outdoors when the weather was nice.

'I began doing painting jobs in Phillips in 1997, and within a year, I decided to move here,' he said. 'I was doing interior painting, too, and noticed a need for handyman work. My grandfather was somewhat of a handyman, so I knew how to do some of those jobs.'

Janssen learned how to do additional construction-type tasks and began accumulating the tools and equipment required. However, he never expected that the business, J & J Painting, would expand so much that he would need to replace his work van with two enclosed trailers."

Coaching: Change Your Business for Life:

"RISMEDIA, November 6, 2006—Growing up the son of a house painter in Ireland, I was taught a very important, guiding principle by my dad that I practice to this day. At the end of each day, he’d look at my work, and ask, “Well, son, can you put your name to that?”

If I couldn’t put my name to the work I’d done, he’d have me do it over again.

Not only did this give me an appreciation for doing the work right, it instilled a level of integrity that became one of the core values..."

Coaching: Manager's Corner: With the Referral System, Life Comes First

What a great aticle! It illustrates my point about referral based marketing and how powerful it is.

My Painting for Profits eBook shows painters how to quickly, cheaply, and effortlessly build a solid foundation of quality referral sources.


Coaching: Manager's Corner: With the Referral System, Life Comes First:

"Why is working by referral a proven strategy for success in any business climate?

Working by referral is a proven strategy because trial and error is eliminated. It is time tested and trust is built in.

Have the basic elements of working by referral changed? If so, how?

Not really. Technology moves us faster and connects us globally, instantly. We gather information on the Internet, however, people represent and serve us.

If you go back to Brian’s original inspiration for starting this company, it was based on the century-old practice of his family’s painting business in Ireland.

Although technology and transportation may make getting together easier, it’s always reverting back to face-to-face, or person-to-person interaction. That’s why this system works so well. "

Here is a house painter that thinks outside the box! Check out this great idea for earning extra money with your painting business this holiday season! Enjoy.

Hustling for the holidays | ajc.com:

"If you're like Gwinnett resident Jerrod Andrews, you can start your own side gig. Just a few years after Andrews launched his interior design and painting business, clients asked if he knew someone who could string up the Christmas lights on their home.

'My first thought was 'What kids do I know who could do this?' ' says Andrews, now 27, who quickly realized that he could use the holiday money.

Now, in his third season, he charges about 50 cents per linear foot to hang lights. And that extra cash will not only provide gifts for his two sons, but will cover costs to finish remodeling his house."
