No offense but that's just standard role to me.Frontier-Lawn said:i have/had 8 customers
2- my mother and also my mother-inlaws (still have them)
1- just died (out $500 month)
2- old customers just saw the dang exmark commercial and got them one of them
2- the old lco apologized to them and took them back ( Trever go back the one i just got from lowballingand gator got back his that they came to me from his over charging)
1- i still have (i'll cut him thru sept/oct and drop him)
and the estimate i just did on wed called and said i was 2 low at $255 a month. they went with a $600 a month company
Well said!!!!!Just a word of advice NEVER tell a customer what "you don't do", If they tell me they need the house painted I'll do my best to get it done and charge them accordingly.
To each their own, but I strongly disagree because:BJ 1000RR said:Just a word of advice NEVER tell a customer what "you don't do", If they tell me they need the house painted I'll do my best to get it done and charge them accordingly. payup
well said man!bobbygedd said:it sounds to me like you're quitting without trying. this tells me you'd fail, no matter what you would do for a living. you left failure as an option, and you are choosing failure (the cowards way out, cus it's the easiest) over doing whatever it takes to make it happen. i left my lifelong trade making decent money to cut grass. i would never do anything else. so they turned you down cus you don't fert? YOU LET IT HAPPEN! before i was licensed i did it on the sly. then, when i felt them breathing down my back, i subbed it out. this business is the easiest business to build in the world, you can turn nothing, into a pot of gold. i did it.....with almost no investment. i started with my grandmothers 21" murry pushmower. graduated to a toro 21", then to a old, crappy bunton bought for $200. i worked my butt off, and took my share of comming out on the losing end of the red/black at the end of the month. i looked at the alternative, working for the man till i'm dead. boy, did that make me not quit. now, i hand pick my clients, i service who i want, when i want, and if you are not worth the headache, i dump you. i make plenty of money, and i live the lifestyle myself and my family wants. enough money, and enough time, that's the balance. think of the alternative, even if you could get a job somewhere making $20 an hour, that's $160 in an 8 hour day. wtf is THAT? anyone who can't figure out a way to make at least $200 a day cutting grass, must be retarted. good luck at the drive thru window
