Why? And more importantly, how?

In 2023, the average attendee of the Painting Profits Summit was $3.4 million in sales. In 2025, the average sales volume grew to $3.9 million. Why? And more importantly, how?

The Painting Profits Summit is decidedly unique in the painting industry. It’s the only event to combine in-depth training and done-for-you business systems with topic-driven peer groups and real-world presentations from active painting contractors who are thriving in real-time.
This isn’t your typical “parade of experts.” This event isn’t so much about learning as it is discovering how to IMPLEMENT the systems, strategies and tactics you need to scale and succeed in an unpredictable economy.
