If you're running a painting company and still handling your own scheduling, emails, social media, and back-office tasks — this episode is for you.
In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore, founder of Elite Business Advisors, tackles one of the most common and costly mistakes painting contractors and painting business owners make: waiting too long to hire administrative help.
What You'll Learn:
· Why every painting contractor needs admin support — and why most wait far too long to get it
· Creative ways to hire admin help at every stage of your business — from virtual assistants and part-time help under $500K, to a network hire between $500K–$1M, to full-time staff at $1M+
· How to use AI tools (including tools like Manus) to handle graphic creation, redesigns, and repetitive tasks
· How to build your admin task list — the work they take off your plate and the growth work they can drive for you (social posting, Google My Business updates, email campaigns to past clients, marketing coordination, and more)
· The systems that make admin hires actually work — Trello, SOPs/Admin Playbooks, Loom videos, and building processes as you scale
· The ROI question every painting business owner needs to answer: What would 5 to 7 hours back per week do for your company?
