Thanks there will be a part 2 soon.
i would pay as much as walmart gets for the mowers they get in.
the ones i get trash picked are almost all in good shape, they are mostly thrown out for mechanical problems like crapped up carbs, bad coils, or broken recoils. they all look good, ive been able to sell a few that were the best
Yeah especially if you’re picking up honda’s you can really do good its just when you show up with a rusted out 30 year old snapper its not too good.
cool man, lots of good persuasive tips
i have my own biz and my cousin tried to do it too but he did a crappy job and got fired, he was a little cheeper than me but for 5 bucks more it makes a whole world of diff!!! knowlage beats price!!!!!
i tried using thoes vinal graphics on our truck and the county tried to make us register it as
a permanent work vehicle, so i use magnetic
sign!!!!
i do res work now but i am thinking about going all comers. but if i am going to loose money idk….tough times!!!!!
I think you covered most of it
Alright look ahead to part 2 in the future.
Thanks.
Are you saying you want to expand to more then residential? It’s way different you have to “Bid” but if you price it right and you get the job the money and time that you save from traveling inbetween all the residentials is way more profitable then the equal number of residentials.
well…..completely leaving it…going to all commercial no res
nice tips
i dont agree with the equipment look thing cause some people dont care about the look of your equipment more about the job you do cause my toro looks like hell but my customer dosnt care cause he likes the job and price
When you expand you will understand. A guy with a old rusty toro is not going to be as trusted as a guy with a nice looking painted toro whose crew looks proffesional.
yeah but you have seen the video on my toro its a lot of work to fix but my coustomers dont care how it looks caue they know it works and they would have to spend $300 to get a profesinal to do the jobs i do for $25 but you do make a good point my case should be a lot more tidy then the toro even tho it wont be perfect
When you get to a higher level it wont be that way. When you’re mowing a business complex it doesnt look good when you’re using a mower that looks like it’s going to fall apart.
cool looks like ya got some experience
Yeah thanks.
wow wish you luck on your job nice tutorial
i layed in new sod and it is real green and like it grew a foot long. but now MUSHROOMS are growing and spreading every where like crazy. how can i stop that? and what was the reason for that happening?
You need to get weed killer that doesnt kill grass also. I think TruGreen makes one or just hire a service.
Hey man, like not trying to be a dick but how old are you? Because you only look like at the most 19 and you pretty much sound like you know what your talking about! I have been thinking about starting my own business in mowing and starting it with me and two of my good friends! That being because i am only 15 and need sum1 to drive! Where should i start? But anyways great video and amazing advice!
Well you should just start in the neighborhood if you cant drive in build up a rep. Then make a website very nicely designed with before and after pictures and customer testomonials. Then when you put out flyers include that website. That will be a great way to start as it will make you look very good but only use pictures you own.
Thx alot yer a big help!
