I'm just weeding out those last you PITA customers.
Anyway, It has for the most part always been my policy to not take on accounts who ask for less than a "full" lawn care program.
I have never been shy in explaining to a potential customer that my reasoning is simple.
"Mrs Jones, I will not just do a spring feeding (fert/pre-emerge/broadleaf weed control) because your neighbor will see me parked here now. Then in July when your lwan is looking shabby, she will remember me and think, Boy, those guys are no good!"
I have noticed also that people who want "just a few" always want the most costly treatments and they only want to pay a minimum price for them.
What do you all do?
SPRING PLEASE COME SOON!!!
