11 Years of Transforming Painters' Lives

What to Expect at the Painting Profits Summit

It’s been a fun journey… Over the past 11 years, our average painter has grown to roughly 20 times the size of your average contractor in our industry. Combining peer support, C-level coaching & proven systems has produced massive transformation for many in a few short days – will you follow in their footsteps?

Why? And more importantly, how?

In 2024, 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.

2 Amazing Pre-Day Opportunities Can
Change Your Painting Business

Track 1: The Crew Leader’s Jobsite Profit System: Eliminating Wasted Labor Using Field-Specific Plans, Processes & Tools

Are jobs running over budget because of wasted labor on the jobsite? Do your crew leaders show up without a clear plan for the day – and call you to solve every problem? Are you losing profit to rework, extra trips, and crews standing around waiting for direction? Is the gap between what you estimated and what the job actually cost eating into your margins?

It doesn’t have to be that way. Give your crew leaders the field-specific PLANS, PROCESSES, and TOOLS they need to run profitable jobs – without you on site! Join Brian Santos for The Crew Leader’s Jobsite Profit System: Eliminating Wasted Labor Using Field-Specific Plans, Processes & Tools

Are you paying for software you barely use? Spending nights on estimates, follow-ups, and paperwork that technology could handle for you? Curious about AI but not sure where to start – or which tools are actually worth the money? Does it feel like everyone else is figuring out tech faster than you?

AI doesn’t have to be complicated! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll walk out with 5 tech-stack solutions you can put to work right away to SAVE MONEY and SAVE TIME. Join Richard Carr for AI Made Easy Workshop: Leave with 5 Tech-Stack Solutions That Save Money & Time
