questions concerning the panting industry.

Do you care about your contractors ?

As a supplier you want to sell as much paint as possible. What’s equally a
Important is that you get paid for that paint. One of several ways you can
assure success is to insure the success of your Contractors. You have an
obligation to yourself, your company, and your Contractors to educate your
contractors as to new products, applications Procedures and business procedures,
and one of the best ways to achieve this is to Introduce them to the Painting
and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA). With yours and PDCA’s help,
your contractor can work towards becoming A better educated professional.
As a better educated professional your Contractor makes more profits and
has fewer problems which translates Into more sales with fewer problems for
you. So please invite your contractors to visit and urge them to join the PDCA.
For more information please contact Scott Harding.
