No business runs so smoothly that a consultant can’t screw it up.
We received a funny email the other day from a guy who wants to buy our lawn care business strategy guidebooks and software package. However, he’s a bit skeptical of our “expertise.”
He said:
“What makes you people think you know so much about the lawn care business and why should I pay you $50 for your help?”
HAHA! Well, in spite of it’s negative tone, the email really did make us laugh a little. I suppose I really do understand this guy’s skepticism. I’ve always been skeptical of so-called “EXPERTS” too. I remember working my way through college in the accounting department of a local bank. It seemed that every time our department was running smoothly and doing everything we were supposed to be doing, some new expert would come in, tell us we were doing everything wrong, and implement changes to the point where no one knew what was going on. Then, the expert would move on after upsetting the whole department…happened over and over.
Let’s get back to the guy’s email. First off, we do not claim to be “EXPERTS.” However, we started our lawn care business in 1992 and have been associated with the industry ever since. We have seen lots and lots of new lawn care operators fail at the business and we are tired of seeing so many people make mistakes that are easily avoided.
Our 17+ years’ experience gives us a certain seasoned knowledge about the lawn care business that you can only gain by actually doing this business for a number of years. Knowing how much money to charge, knowing how to negotiate with customers, and knowing how to bid on lawn mowing contracts are only three of the many, many concepts we pass along to you in the strategy guidebooks.
The business manuals, the estimating calculators, the training tutorials, and the business tool-kit are all jam-packed with information to help you operate a successful lawn care business. If only one of these training tools makes your business more profitable, then don’t you think $50 is well worth the cost?
Once again, we’re not experts. We’re simply lawn care business owners who have spent years learning what works in running a lawn care business. We are always open to new ideas and we hope you can gain a better understanding of how to run your lawn care business with our business practices and make more money than you were making before.
If you have questions, you can always reach us through our contact form at the top of this page. We are always happy to help.
Good luck.

I personally think you should consider yourselves as experts. By investing 17 years in any business even a dummy would learn a thing or too more than someone not doing the business everyday. I would not back down from the comment.
It seems more and more people get brave and over demanding on the internet. In any business you will fond those who think they know it all but want to learn. This is exactly the type of person who may not be the best client for your services. If you send it to him he will not put the required time into learning and then bad mouth the product because he did mow a million dollars worth of grass. LOL Well you get the point.
Sometimes you just have to fire a customer along the way.
LOL for the 50 bucks are you going to hand deliver and read it to me also?
Good times. Hold your ground. be proud of the fact you guys are experts at what you do.
