Seems like ALL of our commercial accounts have serious litter problems; some of which critically impair the lawncutting process .. to the point of losing valuable time and money if not properly compensated ..
If you DO take on commercial accounts, make sure you talk about the litter with them upfront ... Before you even give a quote, go and look around like you normally would, MAKING NOTE OF HOW MUCH LITTER THERE IS. Bring this up when you're talking about (or writing about) the estimate. Let them know that it takes more time and, therefore, costs more money to do the job. AND, make sure that you tell them "after you pick it up once, IT WILL BE BACK, it doesn't just stop there" .. this will help 'drive home' the more expensive price ..
