Our first bonus episode!
Join us as we explore what truly sets a painting company apart from the rest with C4C coaches Mike Katounas, Rick Holtz, and yours truly, Scott Lollar. We share the unique features that set Home Works Painting and H.J. Holtz and Son, Inc. apart - whether it's rigorous background checks on staff, a six-year warranty, or color consultation services for those struggling with color selection. Mike and Rick discuss how they weave these points into our marketing and sales process, ultimately securing us more jobs.
We move on to the crucial topics of professionalism, tenure, and communication in our service. We tackle the differences between painting a commercial building and a residential home, emphasizing the value of a stable and invested customer base. Mike, Rick, and I underscore the importance of consistent communication with customers, from daily reports to reaching out multiple times before stepping foot in a customer's home.
In our final discussion, we dive into the complexities of business growth and the challenges that come with strategic role transitions. We highlight the importance of understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, and the value of hiring others that possess differing skillsets from you. We also delve into the nuances of building relationships with designers and contractors, revealing how it can add more value to your business. Tune in for invaluable insights and practical advice for every painting company striving to reach new heights.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
