December 20th, 2009

Just a quick interesting memo regarding a very
Revealing Video from Marlon Sanders —

Are Your Promotions and/or websites Up To Par?

URL: http://getyourprofits.com/z/396/CD14377

Marlon Sanders just posted a revealing, new video called:

“How To Promote In 3 Easy Steps”

This is mainly geared toward marketing and promoting on
the internet…

And I should tell you that if you haven’t already, then
you REALLY need to get tuned into internet marketing
and the internet for 2010.

Landscaping and lawncare contractors that are learning
how to build websites (or having them built) THE RIGHT
WAY (meaning – to use as a powerful, inexpensive marketing
weapon and not just a “pretty brochure”) are saving tons
of money and time and getting better pre-qualified clients
than ever.

http://getyourprofits.com/z/396/CD14377

This little fr-ee video applies whether no matter what
business you are in….and Marlon Sanders was one of
the first people I looked to for advice and lawn care
marketing tips back when I was trying desperately to
grow my business and the Internet was very new. Here’re
a few things you’ll discover here:

* What does it take to create online landscape marketing
promos that work?
* What if the formula isn’t working for you?
* What if you promote but people don’t buy your lawn care
services?
* How do you build your landscaping and lawn care internet
marketing list?
* The solution to information overload and landscaping business
overwhelm
* Why your landscaping or lawn care ppc ads may not be working

Best Holiday Wishes,

Larry

PS: In 2010 one of my huge focuses will be to bring you, as
landscape contractors and lawn care marketers some of the
best information, tools and lawncare marketing tips for
using the internet to promote your business. The great thing
is that FEW landscape companies or lawn care operators know
anything about REAL lawn care marketing on the net, and it’s
so inexpensive and so easy for you to learn that if you don’t
get out there it’s a huge mistake. The best landscaping and
lawncare clients are turning more and more everyday to the
Internet to find the best lawn care or landscape contractor
to fit their needs, and it has become so simple to target
these exact propsects right in your local market!

So – keep your eyes open for some exciting internet marketing
tools and simple solutions coming from me that are guaranteed

10 Critical Tips For Landscaping and Lawn Care Business Success

December 11th, 2009

 

Work smarter, not harder. It’s not how much you do as a landscaping or lawncare operator, but what you do and how well you do it. There are better ways to run your business than by brute force.

Strive for accuracy first, and then build momentum. Since you do not have a second chance to make a good impression, it is important that you always do things right the first time. It is much better to introduce an excellent lawn care service a little later than planned than to i release something that you know has problems.

Build your reputation on integrity, quality and value. Don’t do anything that might compromise it. Once your reputation is tarnished, it is difficult to redeem yourself in the eyes of your clients.

Always better you’re best. Constantly strive to improve your landscape and lawn care services…

Be creative. Adapt and apply innovative techniques from outside the landscaping or lawn care industry – look to other industries and apply good ideas in your industry.

Listen and react to your Client’s needs. Landscaping and lawn care is a service – therefore you should focus on great customer service. Success comes when you give your clients what they want. Visit them and ask them what you can do to improve your lawn care service. Sell solutions, not services.

Plan for Success. Know where you are going and how you are going to get there. Too many landscape and lawn care businesses exist day-to-day without any long-range plans or goals. Decide where you want your company to be in one, three and five years and draw up a plan of action to get you there.

Take advantage of change. Changes in your market are inevitable -­use them to your advantage. Be a leader, not a follower. It is far better to err on the side of daring than to err on the side of inaction or complacency.

Think before you act. There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.

Always promise a lot … and then deliver even more. Try to provide your clients with more than they expect. Go the extra mile to give exceptional lawn care service and quality. Your clients will remember and reward you with their continued business.

“Tweeting” Landscape and Lawn Care Pros

December 3rd, 2009

Today, after a long time of procratinating to do this I finally set up a Tweeter account and it’s pretty neat how it works. What I was suprised to find is that I couldn’t really locate a whole lot of lawn care business owners or landscapers to “follow”.

My thoughts are that Tweeter is a great place to create a community to share lawn care marketing tips and landscaping business ideas in general.

I did however find some really neat and helpful people and lawn care and landscape related business sites that were very help full.  Again, a great way to share what’s working as far as getting new lawn care business or how to save money and operate your landscaping business more efficiently.

If you check out Tweeter, you can find me by searching for the user name LBrownCLP – and if you become a follower I will follow up back.

As you know, I have a huge list of landscape business owners and lawn care operators who have either purchased my landscaping and lawncare marketing systems, or who just use all of the free information I provide at my site:

http://www.greenindustrysuccess.com

So – check out Tweeter and let me know what you think.  I truely believe a network of lawn care businesses and landscape contracting business professionals could give us all some great insight with easy access.

Meanwhile, I’ll be playing with Twitter a bit more and then I’ll send out an email to all of my subscribers who are interested in lawn care marketing, landscape business marketing, but also who are more interested in learning how to better provide customer service in the industry and those who want a place to discuss more efficient operating procedures, how to find better lawn care employees and landscapers for their businesses.

Check it out right now…this could a great tool and a ton of fun for us all!

Best!

Landscaping Estimator & Lawn Care Estimator Email for Scott C.

November 19th, 2009

Here is a copy of the email I recieved today from Scott Carlton, the creator of the software Landscaping Estimator and now the brand new Lawn Care Estimator software.

As you know, accurate budgeting, bidding, estimating and job costing are critical today more than ever.

I’ve personally known Scott for 2 years now and I would say without a doubt that he is one of the sharpest minds within the industry when it comes to bidding, estimating, etc..

I highly reccomend his products as many of my clients are using them as we speak and saving a bunch of time and money.

So, whether you’re a start-up landscaping or lawn care business, or whether you do a couple million in sales (or less), then this software is the best and easiest I’ve seen).

Now, if you’re a multi-million dollar company this may not be for you, as I suggest when you hit the two million dollar mark you hire a consultant to come in and help you budget and implement a more comprehensive overhead recovery budgeting and bidding system.

Anyway – here’s the email and if you have any doubts about your estimates being competitive, establishing your pricing and costing out your jobs to determine your profits, then Scott Carlton and his software programs could be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

And as you will see in the email, Scott is going out on a limb right now to make a very special offer — again, I highly recommend you take a look, and maybe even give Scott a call if you have any doubts. He is usually easy to get on the phone and really loves helping contractors in this regard.

EMAIL FROM SCOTT:

Dear Larry,

I attended a Landscape Industry trade show
in California a couple weeks ago, and the
weather was incredible as usual.

In fact I hated to leave and get back to
the much cooler Idaho weather :-)

There were a ton of vendors there, and
several thousand attendees.

Several hundred attendees were able to
demo the latest version of Landscaping
Estimator software, and we had a much
heavier volume of sales than I ever
anticipated.

So needless to say we’re now back at
the office home and working diligently
with the new users and helping them
customize the software for their specific
use.

Due to the heavy volume of sales, and
because our vendors have agreed to
provide us discounts for the volume
increase…

I’ve decided to pass the savings on to
50 more new clients.

The special show – price of only $497
seemed to be a great value for everyone,
and I have made the decision to extend
that price on my website for the next
50 buyers.

With all of the extra free bonuses,the
software itself -

- The cost of labor estimator
- The field sheets
- The job tracking templates
- The job scheduling templates
- The ‘take off’ template

It’s all explained right here:

http://www.LandscapingEstimator.com

The show price was a great value all in
and of itself.

BUT – with all of the interest in Lawn -
Care and Landscape Maintenance from our
current clients…

We decided to upgrade ‘Lawn Care Estimator’
to a full version, complete with contracts
and include the new version which will be
available for shipping in a few days WITH
the next 50 versions of our updated version
of Landscaping Estimator.

As an additional “show incentive’ we made
the last-minute decision to throw-in the
‘Lawn Care Estimator’ at no additional
charge.

This is additional $297.00 worth of value
as that is what the new maintenace software
will sell for as a stand alone software
product.

So since it was such a big hit, I insisted
to make the same offer to the next 50
buyers over the internet.

Bottom line, you can get the Landscaping
Estimator (which started out selling at
$1297 the went down to $797 as volume
increased) and all the bonuses…

PLUS…

When you order now you’ll get a full
version of Lawn Care Estimator shipped
as an added incentive -

Absolutley F-R-E-E!

That’s right…

It’s our Black – Friday sales event, not
to be outdone by the big retailers, we
wanted to launch our new Lawn Care Estimator
with a special promotion, two great programs,
which are guaranteed to save you a LOT of
TIME and MONEY!

Forgive me for rambling on, but as you can
tell I am very excited about what we have
created here.

It was my vision and goal from the start
(almost 3 years ago) to bring to market the
most comprehensive, affordable and easy to
use landscape and lawn care software on the
market.

And today I can comfortably say that we have
accompished those goals!

So don’t miss out on this special opportuntiy
for huge savings and the BRAND NEW maintenance
software –

Go right now to:

http://www.LandscapingEstimator.com

(please be patient as it will take the site
a bit longer to load due to all of the video
and demo content on the site.

I look forward to working with you soon!

Cordially,

Scott Carlton

P.S: We will be launching the Lawn Care Estimator
next week, but to those who take advantage this
week only and buy the ‘Landscaping Estimator’ by
Friday, November 27, 2009, they will receive the
new ‘Lawn Care Estimator’ absolutely free. This
offer will not be extended; all orders must be
received by midnight Friday, November 27, 2009.
But remember that there are only 50 available at
this price and when they are gone they are gone.

P.S.S: We will be selling the Lawn Care Estimator
for $297.00 alone, so as you can see, this is a
‘once in a life time tremendous value!

99% of ALL Landscape and Lawn Care Contractors are NOT Using THE Most Powerful Lawn Care Business Tip

November 18th, 2009

It’s truely amazing…

Exactly 326 of my clients are using a monthly
newsletter to generate referrals and grow their
landscaping and/or lawn care business at record
speed despite the so called slow economy.

===

*Side Note*

IF you are subscribed to my monthly Going Green
newsletter templates then you know the power
of what I’m about to say and can delete this
message now – it’s not meant for you.

===

BUT – if you are serious about THE most
effective landscape marketing ideas, or lawn
care business building tips, and you are NOT
using a monthly newsletter in your landscape,
lawn care, outdoor lighting business, etc.,
then you really ought to listen to what I
have to share with you right here…

And, If think you are too busy running your
landscaping business or lawn care business,
or too busy trying to implement other lawn
care business tips or landscape marketing
ideas to even think about creating a client
newsletter — then this is exactly what
you’ve been waiting for.

So, read on…

In only about 10 minutes each month you can
now quickly and easily create your company
newsletter guaranteed to generate new landscape
and lawn care referrals, keep your existing
clients coming back for more services and
have new potential landscaping and lawn care
clients call you – even in the slow season…

All without writing A thing!

Our – done for you – newsletter is like nothing
else you’ve ever seen, and ALL of my clients
that I get a chance to speak to who are growing
their businesses anywhere from 20% – 30% and
even 50% per year…

ARE YOU USING A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER!

In fact, from all I’ve seen this year I would
say with certainty that this is the MOST
POWERFUL marketing tool that you should be
using right now.

AS far as landscape marketing ideas and lawn
care business tips go in todays economy, feel
confident when I tell you that implementing a
company newsletter should be an integral (if
not the most important) component of any
landscaping business plan, lawn care business
marketing plan…and even any lawn care busines
startup.

You can read about the – done for you –
newsletter templates right here:

http://www.greenindustrysuccess.com/newsletter

Sure, there are a couple companies that will
produce and mail a newsletter for you, but
they will charge an arm and a leg.

And since they really don’t know the first
thing about creating compelling lawn care or
landscaping offers or how to write advertising
copy that sells – it probably won’t get many
landscape or lawn care prospects to call you
(the whole point of putting out a newsletter
in the first place).

To maximize your landscape or lawncare business
marketing it is absolutely critical to
communicate with your prospects and clients on
a regular basis.

And, the very best way to do that is with an
interesting and informative ‘direct response’
newsletter.

Don’t make the fatal mistake of ignoring this
powerful landscaping and or lawn care
marketing weapon and leaving tens of thousands
of dollars on the table.

This program IS limited to one company per zip
code and many of them are already taken.

But there is a chance that yours is available.
(when you subscribe to this program we will
notify you if your zip code is unavailable
when we receive your order and promptly refund
your payment.

Check it out right now at:

http://www.greenindustrysuccess.com/newsletter

All the best!

Larry

Larry Brown, CLP
Green Industry Success Systems

P.S. As you know, there’s more competition than
ever before from all directions and all kinds of
unqualified contractors competing for the business.

The sad truth is, it’s not the most experienced
or skilled landscaper, or the one with the best
equipment or even the lowest priced estimates who
prospects chose. A large majority of the time,
clients simply choose the one company who markets
themselves the best.

So – check this out and secure your spot right now:
