Listen up for a discussion on two great contracting questions the guys got asked recently. In this episode, we talk about… A question seeking advice about starting a painting company in the middle of a paint/labor shortage. The value of hiring in an existing subcontracting business before starting a new business. How painting’s labor and materials costs differ from other trades. Why starting a company just to fulfill your own needs is likely going to create more problems than it solves. A question about marketing strategy when you’re starting out and building your brand. How to connect with local influencers. Why you need to attack social media and carve out a presence for yourself there. The importance of email campaigns, calling previous customers to let them know about your new business, and aggressive lead generation. Subbing in for other general contractors to put your face and name out there.      Links to resources: Feel free to submit your questions to help@thecontractorfight.com with the subject line “Podcast” Follow Tom on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/realtomreber The $100k Contractor is designed to get you to at least $100k a year in personal income.
