Re: What Do You Guys Think?
The title of your thread was "what do you guys think".
I think you suck. Get the work, string the HO's along. Obviously, referals is not your main source of getting work !! You go dude........... |

Re: What Do You Guys Think?
shouldn't you do the biggest job first??? If I was going to lose a job cause I'm to busy it sure isn't going to be my biggest contract... Give me grandma's phone number and I'll do the job for you...
Don't get me wrong I haven't always got a A+ on all my jobs. But I have never had a HO call me up and talk to me like that because they didn't know where I was or when I would be back. Keep the HO informed and if they don't like it YOU need to come up another plan. It's just good business.

Re: What Do You Guys Think?
I am not sure how fine that was!! All this talk about Granny reminds me of that Adam Sandler CD where he was talking about where granny's 'hedge' started.

Re: What Do You Guys Think?
Try scheduling a little bit better. At least you can work year round with indoor work. Landscaping is a 5 to 7 month a year deal up here and I have to make enough to last through winter. I learned the hard way to schedule my time for max productivity.
I can give you a few pointers. Firstly write everything down. Make lists of everything you need to do on a job, what equipment you need, where to get material, etc. Get it on paper and refer back to it. Secondly start thinking more efficiently. If I have to go to a nursery in Lewiston or Clarkston for supplies for 1 job I pick up material that I need for other jobs on my schedule. I come back with a loaded truck and stage the material at my house. It's more efficient to make 1 trip than 2 or 3. Those hours add up. Third is reserve your equipment as far in advance as possible. This is the busy season at the rental yard. I don't count on anything being there unless I have a reservation. Fourth, have a plan for weather delays. This is especially critical towards the end of the landscape season. Sometimes it's best to work through inclement weather in the early season so I don't get backed as winter approaches. Hope this helps. |

Re: What Do You Guys Think?
So I got this all straightened out this morning, I called her and apologized for the delay, as it was scheduling problem on my part, she said that's fine, you aren't mad about the voice mail are you, I replied, well I was a little steamed, but have no reason to be since it is my fault, she said well, I was just givin ya s**t just making sure you haven't forgotten about me, the guys for the roof are wanting to start and I wanted to make sure it is ok with you, I said that's fine, so they are going to do the roof, I can finish other projects, then hers in a couple more days, all is well. Thanks to everyone for the straight shootin, I needed a boot in my azz
