On this episode of Paint ED, we chat with Nigel Costolloe, the Executive Director of PCA. Nigel has been a part of very strategic advances in our association in in the last few years, and he is continuing that forward momentum by surrounding himself with a team of killers—in the best way—on the Board of Directors and PCA Leadership. And we need it, now more than ever. Change is upon us. We are here to serve the painting contractors in our industry, and when you hear from Nigel about what’s coming down the pike, I hope you’ll feel like we do, that PCA is acting true to its mission to represent your interests and bring you resources and education that will help make your businesses stronger than ever.
We know business owners in our trade are facing a lot of uncertainty right now. We know you are facing some challenging months ahead. You are not alone. PCA is going to do the best we can to be a sounding board for you, and we’ll offer as much help as we can.
To that end, next Tuesday we are launching an 8-week online conference, “Operation COVID-19 Response.” Every Tuesday for the next 8 weeks, we’re hosting think tank panel discussions--one for commercial contractors at 5 pm CT, and one for residential contractors at 6 pm--and every Thursday for the next 8 weeks we’re hosting Brain Meld discussions to let you kick around a discussion with your peers. Each week we’ll have topics set.
WEEK ONE: Tough Calls in Management
WEEK TWO: Changing Course
WEEK THREE: Getting Your Finances in Order
WEEK FOUR: Keeping Production Going
WEEK FIVE: Marketing in Slow Times
WEEK SIX: Holding Down the Fort and Team Communication
WEEK SEVEN: Empathetic Estimating and Profitable Sales
