Free training to help grow your business.
Packed with tools and resources to support your professional development, Sherwin-Williams® Learning Pathway is built to help professional painting contractors grow throughout their career.
New resources are being added all the time. In 2026, that included a “Growing a Business” series.
“Created from real pro insights, this testimonial-based series supports business owners ready to scale beyond the owner-operator model,” says Gabby Torres, Marketing Director, Pro Contractor Programs at Sherwin-Williams.
“Through short, on-demand modules, contractors will learn how to build a scalable team, improve sales and run jobsites that drive referrals and long-term growth.”
Key topics
- Recruiting and onboarding the right team for growth
- Implementing sales plans and tracking key metrics
- Improving jobsite performance and reducing callbacks
- Maximizing customer reviews and referrals
- Shifting from hands-on work to strategic business leadership
Pros who complete the series will receive a certificate of completion.
“It’s a great way to stand out and build credibility in the market,” beyond the owner-operator model,” says Torres.
