Mike Andes discusses landscaping business operations and pricing strategies. Henry mentions his email is having issues and offers his wife's email as an alternative during a conversation about running a landscaping company.
Look at.
Did you have an email, Henry, by chance?
I do have an email, but it's messed up. Let me give you my wife's email.
Perfect. Basically knocked down all the overgrown brush at the top of the driveway and near the shed. Cut down those three shrubs in half. We'll haul that debris out to the curb so they can haul that out of here. And basically the whole job would be 280 from start to finish. And then we'd be able to get that done probably next week for you. Honestly, it still kind of pains me to be charging these kind of prices. 280 is just nothing like, you know, most pilot locations are minimum prices to show up as $399. But those are more established. They're in profit mode. But we got filled with schedule and as soon as we hit two, three weeks booked out, you either hire someone or you raise prices. That's how we operate at Augusta. It's like, look, when you hit capacity in terms of your employees, you either determine that you're going to raise prices and increase profits and drive down close ratio or two, you're going to hire people, increase your capacity and be able to grow the gross revenue.
