In this segment, the speaker outlines key steps for painting business owners when onboarding new clients and improving overall business performance. The discussion begins with the essential financial review—examining profit and loss statements and setting appropriate pricing. The speaker then shifts focus to operational efficiency, emphasizing the importance of tracking budgeted hours for each project. By using PaintScout, estimates automatically calculate these budgeted hours and embed them into work orders, allowing crew leaders or subcontractors to see the expected time allocation. This integration enables owners to hold teams accountable to production rates, thereby enhancing efficiency and profitability.

you had asked me, you know, what do we look at when we take someone on for the first time and kind of giving them financial advice, looking at their profit and loss, you know, pricing obviously is a big one, which we've been talking about. The secondary one is the efficiency side of things. And if you have that system where you know the budgeted hours for each of these projects that you're closing, you can improve your efficiency with using this same framework, production rates, because Now you know how long it should take your team to complete the project and you can hold them accountable. This is one of the big things I like about Pain Scout is that you do your estimate in Pain Scout, it calculates the budgeted hours and it transfers that over to the work order. So then you have a, a work order that you can hand over to your crew leader, to your subcontractor, whoever it is, and you can say, hey, here is the budget hours for this project and you can hold them accountable, which will improve your efficiency.
