Typical Summer Management Program Questions

“These days, employers are looking for work-related experience ... and many will overlook the notable, quite perfect GPA if they find a candidate with this kind of training"

Planning Job Choices

Since 1981, fewer than 10% of our managers had previous practical experience.

Your primary focus, as a manager, will be overseeing your painting projects; including ensuring your customers are happy and your employees are motivated.

During training seminars, you are trained in every aspect of painting. You also receive on site training and continual support from your experienced General Manager.

Once you have begun estimating and booking jobs, we will guarantee your line of credit with a major retail supplier.

We will also furnish you with a suggested equipment list based on the volume of business you have chosen to do.

With this list, and a line of credit, you will be able to purchase your paint and equipment without interrupting your personal cash flow.

Most businesses fail for two reasons: lack of financing or management expertise.

The Summer Management Program brings a proven system, training and support to ensure success. The only missing ingredient is your personal determination to be a success.

After training you will implement The Summer Management Program’s Marketing System. Since 1981 we have been identifying clients. We know where our clients are and how to market them effectively.

You will receive our system and training with ongoing coaching from your General Manager. By committing weekends in the spring to your summer business doing estimates, managers secure 4–6 weeks production before the summer even starts.

We doubt that as a student your sole desire in life is to be a paint contractor. Instead, you are interested in learning the skills incumbent in managing people whether it be paint contracting, or investment banking, and that is where our advantage lies.

The window of time is small for students to earn income and gain experience. The seasonality of our program gives you the chance to open up a business during the summer and close it down when you go back to school.

The program is a microcosm of so many industries. Here you market a business, negotiate deals, estimate projects, run a recruiting program, manage people, control quality, manage profits, and control all client relations. The reality of our program and the reason it works so well is that you are not contractors; you are the doctors, the lawyers, the entrepreneurs, and the CEOs of tomorrow out to prove yourselves today!
