Lawn Maintenance For Free
I am starting a new lawn and landscaping business. I have some customers now but want to grow significantly. Is it advisable to offer 1 or 2 mowings to gain more clients in a tighter geography? I have found, in the past, that offering services for free tends to devalue the service. But I am eager to bring my service route much closer to each other. I would love to hear ideas and experiences.
Putting in the work, but no clients yet. What would you do in my shoes?
I recently started my pool service business here in Miami. I’ve been working hard to get it off the ground, created a clean competitive website, post regularly on social media, and even hand out handwritten cards door to door. But despite all that, I’m still struggling to find clients. I know the pool industry is highly competitive here. For those of you with more experience, what helped you get customers early on? Thanks in advance 🙏 Also, if you're in Miami and ever want to connect in person, I’d be happy to meet up and exchange insights.

At the beginning of each month, I take this time check in oh how I'm doing for my quarterly goal. Since it's July, I look back at last quarter and see how I did so that I can set and crush my monthly/quarterly goals for July and Q3. I typically start by looking at my capacity, and what I already have booked out. I see how much revenue I should be able to generate if all my guys are at 95-100% capacity for the month/quarter/year. From there, I figure out my recent conversion rate, average ticket, and number of jobs completed. That way, I can see how many leads I need to source and if I need to adjust price, sales approach, etc. How are you guys setting yourselves up to hit your goals?
Looking for AI Tools or Tips for Creating Client-Facing Presentations & “About Us” Packages
Hey everyone! We’re currently trying to put together a solid “About Us” package and presentation materials to send out to municipalities and districts — focused on mooring solutions, swim lines, buoy systems, and similar services. The catch? I’m buried in work, and while we’re not quite at the growth stage where we can outsource this, I’m definitely looking to AI to help bridge that gap. Has anyone here used AI tools or platforms to create professional-looking client presentations, proposals, or pitch decks? Something I can build off of and then tweak? Ideally looking for a tool or app that helps create a polished package without needing hours of design or writing time. Would love to hear what’s worked for you — any suggestions from the great Interwebs are welcome! 🙏 Thanks in advance!Facebook Community Groups? Who's the expert??
Hey guys, In my area I see a few businesses that are being really intentional about posting in these groups. Even if they aren't getting hired I'm sure they are getting a lot of local attention. You have to think the boomers are glued to those groups.... Who's killing these groups ? Can you automate posting in these? Any software for this? Hit me with your tips and tricks so I can dominate the local facebook groups! Thanks a lot.
Best way to gain more clients?
Hello everyone! I am new to the entrepreneurial world. I recently started a lawn care and landscaping business. I am curious what have other had most success with when trying to gain more clients? Paying for ads on social media, go door to door and hand out flyers/cards? What's the best way to go about things?Seeking ideas for developing power partnerships to better work with clients & grow our biz?!!
Hi all, We are a local fire protection company here in Los Angeles and we do both sales and service of fire extinguishers, as well as specialty fire equipment and resources. I am putting this question out there both for connections and suggestions on best developing power partnership with other local companies that work with residences, properties and businesses, to help collaborate on our services provided and add more value to them and more revenue to both partners. Example of our power partners are roofers, GC's, management companies, HOAs, solar companies, fire and water damage companies, Security and locksmith companies, Insurance agencies... Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions and love to work with you as well, if we could benefit from partnership. This, would be a more effective way to grow our businesses than social media or other passive ways I believe! Payam. Lavi | Supervisor PalFirePro.com
