I'm doing a lot of flyers and just one call. It's crazy hearing others say they have to let go of accounts, which I understand why, and some of us starting can't get going. I'm enjoying the videos, though, trying to learn the tricks.
My first year I only had 3 clients… get on Google… get in your local buyers guide. I got a lot of my clients from word of mouth. Don’t give up I promise it just takes a lil time. Until then just keep getting better.
Your tip should be "stay away from Milwaukee battery stuff" I just got a couple of Ego Trimmers after using a 525L for the last couple of years and I am supper impressed with them. WAYYY more power than you need most of the time an the battery time has been impressive.
@@briandewolfe22 The way our county is layed out there is no way for me to reach 10 per day, 5-6 a day is a long day between 6 different cities, That being said I have found the ego stuff to be failry ample, for example, I put a 2.5amp battery in my edger and use it all day, I keep my trimmer on low with a 4amp battery and it dose pretty well most days, some busy days I have to change the battery, my mower however on the 7.5amp is only good for maybe 2 lawns. That's why for my mowers I still use gas for work but the Ego 100% is being used at my house along with an old fashoned non powered reel mower.
Where i Live the City has already said No gas leaf blowers during the summer months and only electric and can only be used on patios and sidewalks, Etc.., Not for blowing on the grass. They also are already talking about banning Gas trimmers and edgers next. By 2027 they want all set ups to be fully Electric! I will be retired by then so i am not too worried about it but i am already investing in some tools to have when i sell my business.
That’s just insane! I bet you the bigger electric companies are the ones pushing this, like ego, and such. That’s just silly forcing electric on everyone.
I really appreciate it man! The only problem I have is I still don’t have a truck or storage space, as I live in an apartment… what are good options for cheaper trucks and storage space?
Some people rent small storage units, I would ask fb and family first to save money on rent, you don’t need a truck, you can pull a small trailer with anything, an older 2500 or f250 should be a good choice.
@@mr.wiiick2772when you first start out take as many ppl as you can but just make sure you make money, as you grow you will notice your getting new clients next to old clients, just keep doing that.
Great video. Whats your opinion on sharpening new blades ? The new blades are always dull as soon as you buy them. They cut but i find my sharpened blades cut way better.
@briandewolfe22 meaning they cut first cut everytime, mulch it up more and the stripes look better. I run commercial machines so power is not an issue. I do a lot of lawns so i notice when things are slightly better than others.
Yes keep that extra string on you! 75% of my customers are biweekly totally agree 💯💪🏾
Yes! Thank you!

Its the extra wear and tear I charge for ... and I double up on bi-weekly compared to the weekly price because of it.

I started with ego, same story for me when you do 10+ a day battery just isn’t there yet, unless you plan I spending bank up front

@@jason-white I hope you mow lawns for a hobby and not for income.
@@briandewolfe22 Both, mowing brings in about $40,000 per year for my business

Love you ❤️

No problem!

Oh I thought of something - how far are you willing to drive for a new customer? What’s the radius you try to maintain and to avoid travel cost?
Some people rent small storage units, I would ask fb and family first to save money on rent, you don’t need a truck, you can pull a small trailer with anything, an older 2500 or f250 should be a good choice.

What do you mean the cut better?

@@entrepreneurdaltonmiles1539 makes sense, I’ve always been told that “sharp” blades are bad on a mower.
I run a stihl fs 111rx with no guard
Ohhhhh the big boy okayyyyy
What do you do on the off season
Last year I remolded my house.
you said no battery power but do you still like the pole saw?
The equipment works great just not the best option when you have multiple yards to do in one day.
Don’t incentive your customers be bi-weekly clients, they are most of the time the worst clients on the market
I’ve noticed this to be true also.
Hi any giveaways go video fr stay away from battery tools
Haven’t had much luck with them.
