SIMPLE STRATEGIES FOR BUSY PAINT CONTRACTORS

As a paint contractor, you may find yourself constantly juggling estimates, ordering supplies, managing employees, communicating with clients, and completing jobs on time. You are not alone if you are struggling to keep up with all these responsibilities while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

6 TIPS FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY

  1. Set realistic goals for what you want to achieve each day, week, or month. We’re all different, so find a goal-setting style that works for you!
  2. Prioritize your tasks and make sure the most important ones are completed first. Keep in mind, the most urgent isn’t necessarily the most important.
  3. Break down large projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. When you look back after a few steps, you’ll have accomplished a lot!
  4. Delegate tasks to team members and service providers. We all need a little help and, over time, being diligent with delegation can help us all minimize our weaknesses and maximize our strengths.
  5. Use other technology to your advantage – there are lots of great time-management apps, sales pipeline tools, estimate services, social media scheduling apps, and online ordering sites for supplies.
  6. Celebrate your wins! Don’t forget to enjoy your (and your teams’) accomplishments, big and small. It’s a lot easier to keep working hard when you celebrate the jobs well done.
