What happens when a business coach gets put in the hot seat? In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, Chris Moore flips the format and answers the questions painting contractors are actually asking. Inspired by his good friend Nick Slavik of Ask a Painter Live, Chris tackles a few real-world business challenges head-on, all while painting the new EBA office: how to diagnose a Gross Profit stuck at 30% and what's likely causing the leak, which business model Chris would choose if he were starting apainting company from scratch today, how to structure an employee referral bonus program that actually motivates your team, and how to evaluate whether a neighborhood is worth targeting before you spend a dollar on marketing.
