But first, Mrs. Smith.

She found us online while searching Google. After looking through our website, which I had built out with a specific conversion funnel, she booked us on our automated calendar booking system.

It was a warm Florida day as I pulled up to her home and noticed all of the Ohio State Buckeye flags and banners throughout the yard.

It was Friday and the Buckeyes were playing the next day and, obviously, she was a raving fan.

The Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines have a long standing, but fun, rivalry.

Being from Michigan, it opens up the door for me to joke around and establish some rapport, so after knocking at the exact time of our appointment, she answers, and I introduce myself.

I lead right in, with all seriousness and say, I must inform you, before we get started, that I am from Michigan.

She laughs and we start with a big smile, then she says, I already know that. I read that on your website. By the way, I loved Your Story!

TIP: Change your About Us page to Our Story, and then share your story.

Be transparent.

Share the story of how you got started. The struggles you faced. Who helped you grow through them and how you became to being the most respected company in your target market, thanks to your team.

Then she went on, “In fact, we were so impressed with your website, we didn’t even call anybody else.

We especially like how you posted your prices.

In fact, I have already measured my home and if what you find matches what you have posted on your website, you’ve got the job.”

So, I measured the home and sure enough, my measurements entered into my estimating program lined right up the the range I had posted on our website.

We went inside. I wrote it up for her and her husband. We picked a start date from our Basecamp calendar, collected a deposit, and I was off to Starbucks and then to the next appointment.

The Number One Topic Contractors Should Blog About is your pricing.

By blogging about your pricing, you are answering your customers number one question, before they even meet you.

Chances are, nobody else in your target market is doing this and this sets you up heads and tales above your competition.

2 Biggest Concerns About Posting Your Prices

First concern, what about your competitors. They will see your prices.

True, they will.

And that’s ok. Just make sure you post your prices on the high end. So, if they try to undercut you, you will still win. Because you have already provided so much more value then they have.

Value wins over cost.

Second concern, there are too many variables for posting prices.

True again.

So, post a range. For example; The price for painting the walls, two coats, in a bedroom 12′ x 14′ would range from about $300 – $500.

And then include a picture.

Now, include 3 examples and you have your next blog, “How much does it cost to paint in a bedroom in (your city)?”

Keep doing this and you too can be number one on Google!

About the Author

As many of you know, my journey has been one of grit, grace, and transformation. At 19, I was a high school dropout, single father, and struggling paint contractor in Michigan. I later moved to Florida, where I faced both personal and professional hardships. With nothing left to lose, I turned to prayer—and was blessed with a relentless hunger to learn. I devoured books, attended seminars, and discovered better ways to streamline and grow my business—even through the Great Recession (and yes, I did hit the wife lottery along the way!). In 2014, I published How To Double Your Business and later sold the painting business, launching a new chapter: coaching others to grow their businesses. For the past 10 years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping business owners scale through the DYB System, while also drawing from frameworks like EOS, Scaling Up, and The Four Disciplines of Execution. Yet something was still missing—something more adaptive, integrated, and complete. Then I found Pinnacle. After months of research and interviews with other Guides, I joined Pinnacle. Their tools and strategies have exceeded every expectation. Now, as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help leadership teams implement a custom-tailored operating system that draws from the best in the industry—but flexes with your unique business. It’s a dynamic, proven approach to achieve clarity, momentum, and lasting growth. I’m no longer taking on any more 1:1 coaching clients… Instead, I now specialize in working with visionary business owners who are ready to get their leadership teams aligned—around a clear vision, a focused strategy, and an actionable execution plan. With the tools and process I now have as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help turn alignment into momentum, and momentum into results. If your business is growing—but your leadership team isn’t fully rowing in the same direction—let’s talk.
