I think that could be a good idea but I would change it here and there.I think it needs to be a bit shorter.I actually think that may prove to be a help.It would let you know which propertys you want and which don't want you.<p>The one thing I would change is when you had would you like a manicured lawn bla bla bla....for the same or lower price.This will make them think you are cheap and I would not word it that way.If you are doing a better job than the other guys than you should be able to get more!<p>Thanks for the post!<p><p><p>Thanks for the idea!<p><p><br>----------<br>from:Adam<br>AB Lawn Care<br><p><font size="1">Edited by: AB Lawn Care

Slingshot, this is much better that Grassboy's $21.95 a month, unlimited service idea! Don't you think?

 

[eggy]

this may be a little silly but I thought it was a good idea....at a local fair guys wore putting buisness cards on veichles...think about it a lot of people visit fairs...I give the guy credit....

Great post in my opinion. I got my copy printed out and am going to edit some things that are of different importance here in my area. i.e. we dont have pine straw up here in the northwest. 2300$ (aprox) aint bad at all. Wish i could make that much in 5 jobs. WAIT! I can now!

Dave H. I think its a good concept, but the form has a lot of flaws. Instead of making it sound like your focusing on the current company, focus on their needs and wants. Also, you may want to take a ride around the property and find a couple of things you could improve, landscape, etc, then throw those ideas in there. <p>Also, I really disagree with the last part about you could give all those services for the same price. Your going to get a bad rep unless you put up what you say you will!!<p>Example: I'm a 12 year old scrub with B&D mower and 2 extension cords. I mow the grass and thats it! Trim once in a while when my dad comes to help me (I'm not old enough to use it, dad really loves his mcchulloch!) I do the job for $20. You are going to add all your extras to it for the same price?? If you do, explain how you'll make any $$??? Maybe I just don't get it??<p><p>----------<br>&lt;a href=&quot;http://communities.msn.com/guidosequipmentpics/&quot;&gt;&quot;Guido&quot;&lt;/a&gt;<br>David M. Famiglietti

what you are doing is asking costomers who they use and what they pay you so you could undercut them. you say for the same price or lower.so how many of these new jobs that you got are lower than the outher company and if they are how do you know you are not going to loose your shirt.some companys can do a job for less than outhers and still make money. im not being a smart ass .just like every body to have the same odds at getting accounts and not having competitors ask costomers my prices and say they can do it cheeper it just sounds cheezy to me
