Transcript of a German-language consulting session (YouTube) where Mike Andes advises Will and Lissa of Military Cuts (Texas lawn-care company) on scaling multi-location operations, instant-quote pricing, improving online conversion, winter cashflow and demand-shifting, staffing/GM roles, and leadership coaching. Key business facts and diagnostics appear: $1.2M annual revenue target, seven trucks, ~15 seasonal field staff, 37% close rate (last 90 days), and an observed ~65–70% revenue drop in deep winter months. Mike recommends split-testing instant-quote flows, simplifying copy/images, bundling services (mow+weed), pre-selling/moving mulch and upsells into Jan/Feb, using scarcity/SMS/email to pull demand forward, automating applicant flows (Indeed/Flows), and building GM/regional systems and backups (including limited-use AI).
