How I Got 89 NEW Lawn Care Customers in the1st MONTH

[@patricksimoneau7647]

Awesome! I hope I can achieve similar. I just got my first client for a property cleanup through a website form submission. Got rid of the button and put a form before the fold and lo and behold, I got a client. I just got my door hangers and business cards so going to start handing those out on Monday!

[@greenbeardlawncare]

Appreciate you guys putting out the series. Really made me think about my future growth strategy and how I'll expand. Love the content, Mike!

[@brentbanks7249]

I would love an end of year update on how things played out. Thanks!

[@HigherStandardsKY]

Awesome video man. Mad props to Chuck for grinding this out. And to the guys taking on this challenge and sticking it out. It’ll all be worth it.

[@PauooolPlays]

MIKE!!! Your the 🐐! Jam packed with value start to finish. Thank you for everything you do 🙏🏻

[@newsyouchoose]

to the guy in concord, great job at being strong in the face of clear failure. That's the only way to succeed, my friend.

[@jordankendall86]

I get that they will make more per hour if they finish the job sooner, but does that translate into giving the best performing employees more work so they can then increase more they make per day or week?

[@methodicalcuts1252]

CHUCK, CHUCK, CHUCK!!!

[@FretBarve]

Man I love companies like this, impersonal, a corporate office that is out of state, and zero experience compared to an actual locally based company. Please come to my city I need the free advertising. They'll try you once for the cheap and leave you for the awful customer service.

[@MikeAndes]

Be careful what you wish for 😀 Our service isn’t for everyone but some customers value 24/7 support more than being able to text the owner. We know we aren’t for everyone but over 99% of customers are satisfied and we can build a monster on top of that to dictate professional change in the industry

[@locallandscapers3257]

I wanna see you set the first month record for all of your franchises Mike!

[@thisoldrelic]

Everyone has their own strategic vision on gaining customers. I personally appreciate you letting us in on your meathod. Keep in mind as much as Everyone is quick to be a critic. Your market is going to be different. This is supposed to be a one size fits all you are seeing. Not always the best. There are a lot more ways to develop marketing. Take what you can leave the rest and develop your own system. Be an individual bussiness. Otherwise just invest in a Augusta Franchise if you want to do it exactly like Mike.

Great Job Mike I love all of your videos

[@sirsweet3022]

2:32 Where’s that annual Revenue coming from? If he’s only sold $3,800 services from 11 customers.

[@robertslawnservices4317]

How many door hangers do you get for $50 on long care media it doesn't say a how many you get????

[@MikeAndes]

LCM includes the design templates. No printing

[@handyscapersllc]

Nice on getting 89 customers in 1 month

[@dandydude9646]

That is nice. I wish that I had a zero turns that I could haul my stuff around easier. Walking sucks.

[@michaelrice9822]

Aka their prices are too cheap 😅

[@savi3182]

So I know that you guys like the trailer less set up. I am curious what you do with leaves and grass clippings, because there isn’t much room to haul stuff away.

[@MikeAndes]

For projects or cleanups we have dump trailer. We don’t have to bag clippings in this market

[@savi3182]

@@MikeAndes Thanks Mike!

[@ral3178]

I like chuck.

[@braydenmcdaniel7899]

I put a video in to hopefully be on business bootcamp!

[@joej.4170]

Mike, was wondering what kind of organic pesticide you use for weed kiiler?

[@cleancutslawncare]

Said in another video he won’t give that info away.

[@phelpshero2454]

Mike, show us how to buy a truck, mower, ramp rack and whole setup for not crazy money, while making money. I know you can just an idea for the video

[@PM_Doug]

I hope the new series is in Florida. Really excited to see Mike running and gunning to show how fast solo operation setup can be in single month. Just would be more interesting as the months are coming to summer and Thunderstorms roll the afternoons.

[@cleanclippingslawnservice7128]

We’ve been doing 5,000 door hangers every new mowing season

[@alibazzy4078]

how's it workin

[@kyleregan302]

You got crews in Western New York yet???

[@blackbeardlawncare7811]

Did you already pick the city for your new location?

[@MikeAndes]

Yes

[@kungfury6410]

Why don't you all do a video on setting up Google ads for lawn care?

[@corbincockerill3073]

So is it a flat 80hr or is it 80hr per head out working?

[@WhiteOakNW]

Hourly rates are always per man (per head). That’s why they’re called man hours.

[@zachmason1102]

If you're closing 80% you're not charging enough. I would say closing at 40 is not bad.

[@MikeAndes]

Growth mode. We don’t care as much about profitability until after month 3… until then we want volume and work backlog 👍🏻✅ after that we are shooting more for that 40% close rate mark for profitability 💪🏻

[@preacherizze4771]

Augusta is taking over the Country lol

[@MikeAndes]

Not really 😄 please connect with any of your local Augusta owners. Our goal is not to “beat” anyone but raise the level of professionalism in the industry, one location and territory at a time

[@connorshoots]

HELP!! how do you find good and reliable employees??? i struggle to find anyone who cares to even be there

[@patricksimoneau7647]

From prior management experience this is my solicited yet unsolicited advice. The answer is twofold, firstly attracting good talent can be difficult but may be easier than perceived. When you position yourself as not hiring to help yourself, but hiring to help others and the community it’s easier to “sell” employment. One way to do this is actually be towards the top end on competitive pay or any other benefit you might be able to provide. This doesn’t mean you have to spend thousands on health insurance to attract good candidates but even something like a monthly bbq. Second is the energy around the business. Get excited and celebrate wins, congratulate guys for doing a great job. Not average, but when they do go above and beyond, recognize it. Win in public. Fail in public, but if you need time to compose yourself before being public, do it. Open book management and p4p seem to be very valuable in this as well. Being transparent and having a way for you and your employees to benefit when you win makes for an exciting place to be.

[@Scrappygymrat]

I’d wager no pun intended you’re not paying enough to attract “quality” employees

[@BRLCLLC]

Where’s the overhead ???

[@MikeAndes]

We didn’t go over expenses on this episode. We focus only on revenue growth for the first 3 months then we switch to profitability mode ✅

[@dandydude9646]

First. Going to be doing another Q&A Stream?

[@bulkoneeto662]

Don’t get me wrong it’s always best to join a company to help them out and yourself. But why not just start your own company? Even if you have a small car and can’t fit much in it but you can literally make better money than joining a company for 10x lower pay.

[@MikeAndes]

Lots of reasons. Start up capital, overhead, stress, liability, management experience, risk of wages, health insurance, taxes and legal setup etc Not everyone should be entrepreneurs. Many intrapreneurs have become wealthy as early employees to a growing firm ✅

[@WhiteOakNW]

It’s not 10x lower pay… by the time you factor in all your unbillable office hours and taxes, you often make less as a solo operator per hour than you would working for another company. And you can generally kiss your weekends good bye for the first few years until your company grows and you gain experience.

[@nicholashoriel5343]

How does 24 customers equal 10k in one month ?

[@MikeAndes]

Projects. Cleanups and small projects with average ticket of $500-1000 per is our focus

[@dannymofopans]

I make that highest number take home as a machine union operator with zero risk

[@MikeAndes]

This is their first MONTH in operation. Check back in next year when these all switch to profit mode 😄

[@mackeejack6731]

Chuck is the type of dude who was 40 Years old at 14

[@angelcarrascoza3996]

Mike is going to do 30k first month I’ll put 10k on that 🎉

[@shortslongsandeverythingel5947]

Man idk this kinda turned me off.. we have got 60 clients in like 2 weeks and we just accept everyone and realize certain people have certain needs the bailing on push mows is not smart be Walmart not a custom boutique store.

[@MikeAndes]

Just depends your goals. Walmart transformed retail and is worth hundreds of billions. We flip the script in year 2, raise prices and focus on profitability and stop growing

[@shortslongsandeverythingel5947]

@@MikeAndes I respect that just not always great seeing the cow butchered. I love your videos and have gained a lot of insight it is all very market based.

[@dg5476]

89 clients at $30 each

[@MikeAndes]

Average price is $50/cut. Projects make up majority of revenue and then as time goes on that equation tilts towards recurring revenue like mowing

[@Scrappygymrat]

Nice talking derogatory against a guy who didn’t work out you could have just stopped there

[@MikeAndes]

We keep it real and raw and show the good, bad, and ugly… so people don’t think entrepreneurship is all sunshine and rainbows. Those emotions are normal and felt by many people in leadership roles

[@Scrappygymrat]

@@MikeAndes I run my own business and never talk badly about people that don't work out it shows lack of professionalism on your part and nothing to do with"ugly" except the guys character who felt the need to be an ass

[@TylerSenter]

@@Scrappygymrat Lmao, Find a different channel. We watch the videos here to learn and for the "lack of professionalism". Mikes a genius, maybe you could learn something from him. Just run your business and stop your jealousy that you can't have a successful business and be that "unprofessional". 🤣😂
