What’s up fellow landscapers this is Nick from Landscaping Business Hypergrowth and in this video I will talk about in what order, what should be your first hire in order to hit 6 figures.
First things first in order to grow, you want a constant inflow of leads on a predictable basis, so you know that you are getting those appointments each and every week. This can be done either by learning how to market yourself or hire someone else do it for you, so you eliminate the guesswork and accelerate the process.
Next hire, should be definitely somebody to help you do all the work. You want to hire a part time employee then work them up to full time, get them on a payroll, get them going somebody who will be knocking out the jobs with you.
Once you get swamped with work, then you want to bring someone else. Again, you want to hire a part time employee and work them up to full time. The best way to do it is to hire someone, who has leadership initiative, somebody, who can take charge of their job. They can drive a truck, you can leave them and go get materials and do quotes or even break apart if you are really busy and they can handle it.
The next step is office support. The most important thing is an admin support, because you already have production support, so you now need administration, which is handling the phones and the paperwork. What I would go for here is a virtual receptionist, because they are highly trained and they make sure that they are in an environment where’s no background noise, which turns the customers off.
Then you need to raise your prices and you achieve that by becoming good in marketing and advertising and learning how to position yourself as an expert.
Last step is who’s gonna be doing your sales. This is the most crucial sector of your business, because when things get bad, sales are the ones that solve all problems my friends. You’ll need to increase your selling skills, when you show up on a quote, you are showing up to get a signature and a deposit check.
So this is the whole puzzle and obviously if you need to grow beyond hundred k you’ll need to do more tweaks but this is a topic for another video. That will be all for today lads, let me know in the comment section your thoughts and I will speak to you soon!
Peace!
