Short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "Paying HOURLY is a FAILING formula...🤦‍♂️" featuring Kyle and Mike Andes. They discuss the crowded landscaping market in Alabama ("over 100 plus" companies) and focus on valuing a key employee, Corey, by raising his base pay to $20/hour despite him earning "$24+ per hour" on a pay-for-performance (P4P) model.

Questions this video answers

"over 100 plus" (verbal claim in transcript).

$20 per hour.

"$24 plus per hour" (stated in transcript).

Oh, I've been waiting for this. Yeah. I was like, Augusta. I've never even heard what is Augusta, you know what I mean? Because landscaping is big down here in Alabama, man. You know what I mean? You got probably over 100 plus different landscaping companies all over Alabama. This one is the only one that stands out, man.
Corey seems to be Kyle's most valuable asset right now. He's super efficient and super dependable, even though raising his base pay to $20 per hour doesn't really affect his paycheck a whole lot because he's making 24 plus per hour on P4P, it will at least make him feel valued and give him a sense of security within the Today.
We'Re going to change your base pay to 20.
