HOW TO GET COMMERCIAL LAWN CARE CUSTOMERS... MY BEST 5 TIPS!

[@cousin-it784]

I have to just say, I've only been watching your channel for about 6-8 months. You're the only one who stops and explains out of all the mowing channels. So mad respect to you both.

[@SpencerLawnCare]

Welcome! We appreciate you following along

[@chrishamblin2774]

You always have a great way of presenting all of your knowledge and skills too Be Blessed and enjoy your experience

[@One4Truth]

I agree, y'all have that special something, there "it" factor so to speak, that sets you apart from all others. I'm not in the industry, but I greatly enjoy watching your journey and many of your tips really carry over to other businesses as well. Also, I'm in awe of the great parents you both are and that you've stayed very grounded despite your success; too many have not. You're both genuine and genuinely deserve all the success that you have worked hard to achieve 😃

I just started a mowing/handyman business about 20 minutes from where you are mowing in this video! Keep it up man and appreciate the great advice!

[@mikezupancic2182]

These tips are almost 100% spot on. If youre a commercial business you should have 1/2 million in coverage. The indurance guy knows what that means. Have copies of workers comp certificates available and be ready to add additional insureds. One of the biggest things, have a proper business card with an OFFICE ADRESS AND PHONE NUMBER AND PROPER EMAIL. I dont want to see a business location missing. Thats an immediate red flag.

[@alastairduncan1944]

Bonus tip: ALWAYS be nice to the receptionist, they ARE the gate keeper of everything

[@joshuaslawncarellc]

Im taking notes! And your right about subway it was my first Job 1995 and when people asked to fill out an application and asked for a pen they were shredded!

[@brucechapman5553]

Some absolutely wonderful tips Shawn. You never know when something is going to change and that one call or visit can turn into great success. Professionalism and persistence pays off as well as references and going the extra distance to do what is right. Y’all keep up the great work!!!

[@Notsoofunny305]

Sir thank you for the knowledge I didn’t have , now I’m more alert on things you mentioned in this video.

[@Andrejwashers]

Im in a severe thunderstorm watch but we need rain and were getting it. My dead spots in my lawn are growing back

[@SpencerLawnCare]

Same here! The rain will do good for these lawns for sure. Stay safe!

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Shawen Thank you for the tips I have learned in my life some people can be shy talking about certain subjects You know being professional you do have to go out of your comfort zone. Congratulations to Shawn boy Glad to see TQ in the video.

[@SpencerLawnCare]

Absolutely if you are in the business to grow then you have to put yourself out there.

[@JerryBecker-mc3uj]

Shawn, I see some of the properties you service sometimes need additional grooming of bushes Overgrowth etc. Do you offer additional services then to the customer or? Thanks, Enjoy your channel

[@SpencerLawnCare]

We do and they want them done certain time of the year.

[@peterjebeles4563]

Great info man. Thank you for sharing. Love the thunder storm

[@rlhawkinsrlhawkins]

Enjoy your videos and your knowledge.. Your time and your patience to give us the right route to go.. I have a question.. When you're making a bid on a commercial.. How do you know what to charge them.. Compared to the other company that they have.. Example ,,,😮 Company a gave them a bit of two hundred.. And company b look at the property and give them four hundred.. Or how to charge??.. Some places in maryland those Hispanics are underbidding is the real price.. I hate to say that.. But It's hard..

[@Libroscristianosdelayer-nl1jy]

just have to keep enduring and staying in the field, don't get discourage. People who low ball go out of business soon. They don't have enoug to pay to get help, buy spare parts you name it. Im in the same rodeo, when get asked why so much I tell that is so when have equipment breakdown I can keep taking care of you. We are in business to make money not just to pay ourselves. This are two complelty different things.

[@PlemonsLawnCare]

Be persistent is a key one for sure. Yes trash pick up is huge with commercial

[@BillSkidmoreoutside]

I got some stihl trimmer line that you recommended and it is awesome, thanks for the tips

[@firemed1c1]

What is the name of the handle you use for the stihl trimmers and where can I find it thanks

[@tommix2181]

Bigger accounts require at least 5 million insurance. Help bigger landscaping on small jobs. He said too put shovel in ground. Small steps too bigger jobs.

[@SpencerLawnCare]

👍

[@Dean-uc1bp]

Nice of you to share maybe some up coming lawn care person will appreciate your tips 😊.

[@SpencerLawnCare]

We sure hope so. These are things I had to learn myself. It sure helps.

[@choppedandscrewedcustoms]

What company do you use to make your company shirts and hats

[@Artist21st]

Weeds always kill contracts over anything else. Period. As a former lawncare landscape supervisor i used to STRESS pulling weeds. Guys didnt do it to the customers specs. We lost contracts. I no longer work in the field thankfully. I was a professional. Not a grass cutter! You can do an immaculate lawn care job. If the customer walks out the door and sees a weed. That's what they remember.

[@alvolydovargas9273]

We watch you all the time. Do you recommend BNI for commercial contracts?

[@Sigurd651]

i'm 14, starting out. got 2 costumers. two of my dad's friends has a rental company where they rent out jump castles, softice machines, popcorn machines and more. and i clean some of them sometimes and earn some money. and they tell me that i should always do extra for my costumers, is that true? like trim for free for the first time doing a service or something? also i got a stihl km 131, trimmer, edger, blower, brush. soon getting cultivator. also got a lawn tractor. old china model my dad bought 9 years ago, sold it to our neighbor 5 years ago. this spring i got it for free. changed battery, oil, spark plug, air filter. and getting more soon. like a front bumper, i already got a voltmeter(on the lawn tractor, just not connected rn)led light, horn, blitz light. soon getting 4 buttons and more. Can anybody give me some tips or advice on future plans or something else? a good but not expensive lawn tractor or zero turn, zero turn preferred. from new? i've looked at hustler, ferris(better but expensive) cub cadet and more. Thanks

Great video guys, feel way more confident now lol … God blessed you both, Merry Christmas 🎄

[@harryerhart5978]

Nice advice 😊 same thing I've done for 40 years

[@glendajune9140]

Beautiful job at your commercial property. The tips you gave today will assist many. You spoke very sincerely, with knowledge,& experience. I’m sure those just starting out will think hard, be confident,& not take the attempt so personally. Onward,& upward! I hope Shawn B gets the win 🏆 tonight.🤞🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@ElliottPattersonTrains]

what would you recommend for a 16 year old who has been in business for 3 years going about getting commercial jobs

[@SpencerLawnCare]

Everything is the same. You may have trouble getting the insurance coverage that they require. But you won't know unless you try.

[@TexasWatchman]

What an excellent video! I'm in the pressure washing business, and everything you said applies to us as well! I'm going to subscribe!

Way to go TQ teach Mrs. Cone who's boss!! 😂👍 Love you guy's!! ❤

[@PK_Cuts]

How do you put estimates in? Is their a website

[@artbynick3252]

Can you go into depth with making a contract with commercials? Can you explain how much to charge for places like this?

[@Skeldinglawncare]

Great video brother! Looking to get a few next season to take my business to the next level. Keep up the great work and information.

[@ralfus37]

Offering a "free" estimate sounds like a come-on pressure approach. I never used the term. It will never cost them to receive it.

[@ravenmoon1165]

How'd Shawn boy do?!? Great tips. I always kept cards one, no matter what. We used to play the marble game in outside sales. Ten marbles, you'd get one yes. It might be yes for an estimate or yes for the job, but it was always a numbers game.

[@SpencerLawnCare]

Absolutely! and His game got rescheduled for tomorrow due to storms

The other tip i have is maybe dont walk into the business if the current company is there.... had that happen to me a few times lol, thankfully the people at the business know us very well.

[@andreabond3501]

Thank you for the advice Andy from Australia

[@roydavis2242]

I agree with what you're saying. Always leave a no with a smile and a positive response such as, "Thank you for your time," or, "I appreciate giving me your time". Then add, " if your situation changes I'd appreciate you keeping us in mind". I will add use the word "us" not me. It makes you appear more professional and not like you're looking for a side hustle.

[@SpencerLawnCare]

Absolutely that will leave a good feeling with them
