In this episode of the Price Sell Paint podcast, Jon and Michael are joined by industry leader and PCA board member Chris Elliott. From Army Ranger to painting company CEO, Chris shares how he built a successful residential repaint division before scaling into commercial work and why running both requires different teams, different strategies, and a whole lot of intentionality. They dig into sales structures, marketing tactics, pipeline math, and how he's creating long-term success on both sides of the business. If you're looking to grow beyond residential, this one’s a must-listen.
