Chapters

Hey, everyone, it's Mike Andes. I'm the founder of Augusta Lawn Care. We have over 150 locations around the world. I was in person with a business owner that does chauffeuring. If you're like, well, this isn't necessarily home service. There's a lot of similarities in terms of getting recurring revenue.
If I spend about $3,000, I'm bringing in 30,000.
Focusing on your core, larger customers that are bringing in lots of revenue.
If you guys want to fight over that, I'll get everybody online.
These are some of the hurdles that Obi, the founder of the chauffeuring business, is struggling with.
When I see their faces when they light up with this guy really thought about me.
I believe that these are applicable to any service business where you have any sort of recurrence.
How do we get those customers without spending the ads? And secondly, how do we keep them coming back?
How do I turn a one time landscape project into a monthly contract where I'm coming back every single month and taking care of the landscaping leads?
Solve everything.
And he's servicing rock stars and top level entrepreneurs that get private cars instead of Ubers from the airport. So this is an interesting one. It's an extended cut from a turnaround that I did recently. Let's go ahead and roll the coaching tape.
