How to Stop Competing on Price – LIVE from CLCA Landscape Industry Show

How to Stop Competing on Price - LIVE from CLCA Landscape Industry Show 2013

If You are Competing on Price… You have a Marketing Problem.

Hi everybody, Andrew here.  I am live from Los Angeles, California.  I just got done surfing – no, I’m joking, I didn’t.  I just got done speaking for two hours at the California Landscape Contractor Association’s Landscape Industry Show out here in Los Angeles at the Los Angeles convention center.  You can see it right back there behind me; that’s it.  Here in front of me, actually, is the Staples center.  It’s right here. I didn’t know they were next door, so I imagine that the Lakers are probably scheduled to lose again tonight.  So, I’m looking forward to that, but I had a great talk today.  I spoke for two hours, if you can believe that.

Answer The Call – Lawn & Landscape – January 2013 – Cover Story

The January 2013 Lawn & Landscape Cover Story Features Lawn Care Marketing Expert discussing Phone 101: How to use the phone to win customers and keep them coming back.

In business, it is often those things we don’t give much thought that with just the right tweaks can really have an impact on our profits and growth.

Having a clear well defined phone strategy is one of those often overlooked things.

I work with lawn care and landscaping companies big and small below 100k to over 8m. When it comes to the phone, shockingly the biggest difference between the two is that the larger companies have several people on staff to answer the phones. But when it comes to how the phones are actually used the differences end.

Harlan Hogan’s famous quote “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” is still true today. Unfortunately, many companies treat it as a cliché and have no strategy behind their phone. If you can talk, you generally have all the skills you need to be a lawn company’s first impression.

They forget that as far as a prospect or client is concerned – the person answering the phone IS YOUR COMPANY. Just as the skill of your crews determines the quality of your company’s work, so to does the way your staff handle the phone give your company its image.

Green Industry PRO Magazine Interview – Dealing With Negative Reviews

Gregg: Negative feedback. Obviously, you’re hoping this isn’t going to happen and it’s probably a smidgen of a chance it will because your followers are your friends and your current customers, but I’m sure it does pop up from time to time. How do you deal with that random negative post on your Facebook page or what have you?

Andrew: That’s a great question. I’d actually like to expand this a little bit and not just negative posts on your Facebook page but negative reviews perhaps left for you on Yelp, or on Google Places, or any of these other review sites. Why don’t we take it back a little bit broader than just…
