Here's my story:
I started a lawn care business part-time in 2014, while working full-time in the autobody industry. In 2015, I quit my job (with a pregnant fiancee) and risked everything to go full-time.
By 2019, Scooter's Lawn Care, Inc. was an award-winning, seven-figure company.
In 2021, I once again started from the ground up with a second location expansion in Cape Coral, Florida. By month three, my team was hitting $50,000/mo in revenue with an 8-month $1M goal.
I share the wins and losses in our business journey - along with proven strategies to scale - on KZbin to help others grow.

The only thing I would add is… knock ✊🏼 the door 🚪 and if they don’t answer leave the door hanger, if they come to the door now you have a better chance to close a new customer

[@JacobGodar]

Totally. Great prep is to give your team an elevator pitch so they can feel comfortable with the intro to sales. Awesome comment 👏🏼

[@ruben_od5012]

I think knocking is illegal in most of places

[@PokeTMNT1988]

​@@ruben_od5012 only if there are signs that say no soliciting

[@joshuagrose-borton3736]

Exactly a lot of people don't think about that but that's a great point

[@jerryhoward4632]

I live in Texas. I get to my spot around 8:30 and pass out flyers which I put into the screen doors. I dont cross over the grass. Weekends are the best because most homeowners are out and about by 10am which gives you a chance to talk to them. Good luck and may Christ be with you.

[@FOREVERPIN]

I just love that I was led here. THANK YOU UNIVERSE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO STICK THEM.

[@DavidSiniawski]

I've used door hangers before. And I got them made with the Hull already punched out in it to actually hang on a doorknob so that would be a good advice to give your viewers instead of making holes and using rubber bands, which would take a lot longer you could have got them already made to hang over a door or A. Handle

[@JacobGodar]

@@DavidSiniawski we used to do this back in the day. Unfortunately they blow off often and it lessens the area for copy. Glad you have had success with them!

[@TopNotchPropertyServiceLLC]

Great information about being as efficient as possible and taking it seriously. I also never thought of using rubber bands. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@joaquin923100]

definately accurate investigated with the police station they sent me to the chamber of commerce then they sent me to the city hall permits then there was no permit listed there for distributing flyers so the worker at the city hall printed me a section code in regards of that stating that "as long as its on a fixed surface not causing litter or property states No Soliciting or states Private Property"... it is completly legal

[@catd7547]

I really like this idea for diy doorhanger.

[@DFisher5555]

Bro I was looking for videos and accidentally clicked your video and I learned stuff while searching for the video I wanted. This is great content

[@JacobGodar]

Thank you 🙏

[@PleasecallherRAGE]

Thank you! I am now excited to get out there and share my flyers

[@samrios3934]

Great advice man, thanks

[@ezpzfirefly4616]

Wow so helpful thanks you so much

[@latenttweet]

Good tip on drill bit and rubber bands. For walking I recommend just using postal route. For example those corner houses on your diagram are a different addres than the far right row. Split them on their own it’s easier to keep track of where you have been and need to go if you just pretend you’re the mailman. Also dress like your mailman whether it’s hot or cold in your season.

[@Clean-N-ShineInDfw]

Wow great video

[@oliwiernowosielski7690]

just found this by pure chance but it is such ana amazing video! i hope you go far!

Thank you brother

To save fliers and increase profit I always scope out the house to see if it fits. For example I do car detailing. If the car is already shining and maintained I won’t bother they do it themselves or have someone. If the house or car is thrashed I won’t they probably could care less about keeping their things nice. Little advice

[@efinveecaught7281]

You're profiling your customers too much. If their car is shining and maintained that means they ARE your customer. They clearly care about maintaining their vehicle, maybe they feel they spend too much time doing it on the weekends. Advertise to that "Save your weekend! Let me keep your car spotless!" could be a tagline. If they already have someone tahts fine, they might still ask for a quote and maybe you do it cheaper or have other services to stand out. Maybe you also do window tinting and their other guy doesnt. Don't run away from your own customers.

[@codyhardin7851]

Agreed. You’re finding reasons for people not to use your service. Let them do that.

[@omarlaralima2459]

Awesome video! Any recommendations on where to order flyers? also, do you design your flyers? do you have a video about this subject? Thank you! I am on the path of opening my small business and I just found your channel. subbed!

[@joshuagrose-borton3736]

The regular door hanger style with the hole and the hanger always just flies away about 10 minutes after you hanging on the door good idea with the rubber band

[@michaelmerck7576]

The rubber band trick would work to secure the flier

[@calebrights8712]

Anyone know where I could find people to pass out door hangers that have already been split tested? I am in Grand Rapids MI

[@michaelmerck7576]

We used to call it "clover leafing our stops

[@Broutdoorliving]

How much would you pay per hour to do this?

[@ralphchristian9273]

When I ran a pizza place an we door hung left and right when we delivered to a house

[@mindfulgardener911]

My door hangers hangs. Are these different?

[@JacobGodar]

The ones we use you punch a hole in and use a rubber band. It allows more room for copy and they don’t fall off so easy

[@chancecooper9246]

Its called a "Girth Hitch"

[@johncarey4186]

My door hangers don't blow off All you have to do is tape the but joint

[@JacobGodar]

We saw 2 downfalls with the traditional door hanger. 1 they fall of without your solution and 2 you loose a bunch of quality space to add more copy. If it is working for you tho I think thats great!

[@Zacklife]

Me personally think about using rubber bands is a older person trying to pull it off and gets popped smh 🤦‍♂️

[@travisgarrett1478]

If you really want to increase your efficiency dramatically(like 2-300%) buy or rent an e bike. Not only will you be much faster, you'll be able to go much longer by conserving your energy.

[@JacobGodar]

We have talked about the original scooter and hoverboards.

[@jamesrecknor6752]

Great idea

[@age_of_reason]

Rubber band is a waste of time. If flyer can be folded and stuck into a door then it doesn't need any other modification. Why make extra work if everything is about efficiency.

[@JacobGodar]

We have started doing this more as well. It’s a great point that we didn’t even think of in the beginning. Always evolving.

[@clevercloverlawncare5066]

@@JacobGodarunclear on this concept. You’re folding the flyer? Wedging in the door crack?
