ok, as most of you know, because ive been "airing out my dirty laundry", ill be going full time lawn boy soon enough. well, i saw an opportunity today, and i jumped on it. while driving down the road, i see this lovely young lady killing herself, and her high grass, trying to cut it with a pushmower set at about an inch high. so, i say to myself, "thats my new lawn". plus, i wanted a closer look at her behind. so i stop, "good morning mam, please excuse me for not minding my own business, but as u can see, we cut grass for a living, can i give u some advice.?" she seems a little frightened and doesnt say a word, so i continue, " if u raise the height of the deck, you will have a much easier time cutting the lawn cus its high." she goes how do i do that. so hop out of the truck, she really looks scared now, and i show her the adjustments, and raise it for her. i say, "try that." and i start getting back in my truck. shes like, wait, dont go, i think i love you(no, i just made that part up), we start talkin, before u know it, im cuttin her every week, and...takin down a huge pine, for $700. call it begging, i dont care, i need the work

Nothing wrong with drummin' up business(as long as it's legal) I helped a lady mow her lawn similar to what you did;come to find out she traveled a lot and was thinking of calling a lawn care company.One less phone call for her and one more client for me.She was trying to cut 8" of grass,it was kinda funny and I did feel sorry for her.We had a commercial business about 20 feet from her home so no travel time.

That's fine Bobby

Best part is it didn't cost you any advertising or being the salesman to get the job.

You offered assistence to a person when they were the most vulnerable. Not like she wanted to cut grass. That was obvious by the fact it was so long.

not begging,that was good business.keep it up and you'll do fine.

I'm so proud of you, bobby. Boy, they grow up so fast.

 

[parkwest]

yep bobby, there is a plethora of 30 year old divorcees out there who would love a big strong man like you to come over and cut them weekly. Take advantage of what the market domegraphics are and prosper.

 

[proenterprises]

[Matt'slawncare]

Hopefully the word gets around about how nice you are and you will get some more jobs. Hopefully everything goes great.

Bobby,

I think you were more interested in HER than her LAWN.
But that's OK!

You saw an opening and walked in........Way to Go :drinkup:
Glad to hear about the new account, and thanks for exposing us all to a new marketing technique.

 

[bobbygedd]

clifee, thats funny. actually, im more interested in the green(money) than the flesh. but, if she wants to throw in a "tip", well, id probly pull the asthma thing again.

Right - on.

Smoooooth. How was the behind, by the way?

 

[bobbygedd]

well, she was wearing white shorts, and from close up, u could see it had so much hair on it, you would think she should have a tail too.

[Doogiegh]

So are you taking down her tree or trimming her bush?

 

[bobbygedd]

Do what you got to do, as long as you can stand on the eventual judgement stand and be proud of it - Sounds like you helped someone out in a very big way - Keep it up.
