Your Biz Size, Sales, Services, & Yearly $$ Goals

[PlantscapeSolutions]

This may have already been done before but I thought I'd give it a try. I thought it would be interesting to start a little business biography thread. You never really know who does what on here. Here's my example.

1. Experience- 11 years in business as a corporation
2. Annual Sales- $275 - $325K
3. Employee's- I have two crew members and a foremen not including myself in the count.
4. Services- Maintenance, landscape design & install, landscape & holiday lighting, and arborist work.
5. Education-Fours of year college including AutoCAD
6. Languages- My Spanish stinks but I'm trying!
7. Yearly Take Home Goal (including benefits like company truck, fuel, insurance, ect.)- $80K
8. Biz Base- Buda, TX
9. State of origin- Maine
10. Licenses & Biz Memberships- CDL, BBB, & TNLA
11. Customer Base- Mostly residential high end accounts.
12. Biz Software- QuickBooks

Let's try to stick with these dozen categories so the thread doesn't get hijacked or run off on a tangent.

I've changed my signature to better reflect what type of business I am. Lots of guys put kind of silly stuff like string trimmers, blowers, and everything but the kitchen sink in their signatures. It'd be nice if there was a format used for signatures to allow people to see what credentials the people posting material have.
