I’m not a marketer who found painting. I’m a painter who figured out marketing.
I own Desert Winds Painting in Albuquerque. I keep 3 full-time commission-only reps busy — and 95% of their leads come from this exact system.
7+ years in business
What it’s like working with “agencies”
Run by marketers who’ve never run a painting business
Lock you into long-term contracts
Charge monthly retainers win or lose
Deliver “leads” you have to chase
Treat you like account #247
What it’s like working with commission-only operators
Operated by someone who’s scaled multiple painting companies past $2M
No contract options – cancel anytime
Commission only performance based marketing
Deliver decision-maker confirmed appointments directly on your calendar
Selective about who we work with – results over revenue
Both decision-makers have to be home at the same time — one missing spouse and the estimate stalls.
Cheap leads are usually shopping three or four contractors on price.
A lead that isn’t called within minutes goes cold and books with whoever called first.
A form fill isn’t a commitment. Plenty of people never meant to have someone come out.
The Rainmaker Method
We generate the rain, and we capture it. Most agencies only do one half.
01
Proven ad system
We create and run ads using templates tested in our own painting businesses. These aren’t theories — they’re the same ads generating 127 appointments monthly for our locations right now.
02
Speed
Our call center dials a new lead in 18 seconds. Most contractors call back the next morning — by then the homeowner has booked whoever answered first.
03
Qualified and booked
Every lead is qualified using our field-tested questions. We confirm project scope, budget alignment, timeline, and two-person attendance before anything lands on your calendar.

Check your market before someone else claims it.
Once a service area is taken, it’s off the table. Check yours before a competitor does.
