Michael Baitelli has owned the Orlando location of WOW 1 Day Painting since 2019. He handles sales and marketing himself and tells Juan Pablo Gaxiola that his biggest challenge is lead quality: estimates booked without a discovery call, or for work the company does not do. He explains how photos help qualify jobs before a drive, why most referrals come from real estate agents, and how every project gets a work order that matches the estimate, with a clear way to handle requests for extra work on site.
Key takeaways
- Qualify leads with a short discovery call before driving out.
- Ask for photos to pre-qualify jobs that may not be a fit.
- Real estate agents can be a steady referral source for move-in and pre-listing work.
- Every project gets a work order that matches the estimate.
- Handle add-on requests on site through a clear change process.
In their words
"The work order reflects what's on the estimate and they should follow that."
